3 Paintings of the Dickey Ridge View

Posted in daily painter, Plein Air, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 25, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Last Thursday I painted at Dickey Ridge.  Often when I paint on location I paint at least one painting and sometimes start a second.  This particular day I did that plus started a third.  Many painters paint multiple canvas of the same subject.  Think Monet’s Haystacks and his Cathedrals.

Here are the three paintings I completed from that plein-air outing.

Overlook View from Dickey Ridge I – private collection

Road to the Cabin

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , on July 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

 This is a painting that I have done four times in the past few weeks.  It is a good painting for art lessons.  It works for young painters as well as more experienced ones.

You can see here that Rachel painted it recently.   And so did Jacob. 

He’s my youngest student.  He did a great job with his painting too.

Quick Editor’s Note: Larry the Lobster is now on display at the Blue Ridge Arts Council at 305 E. Main Street until October.  Stop in to see him.   

Meet Larry the Lobster.  I ate him.  Well, I ate him several months ago on my trip to Newport.  He was delicious.  Now he’s just a memory, a memory in paint.  Larry the Lobster, oil on canvas, 9″x12″, available by contacting kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Painting the Mountains with a New Friend

Posted in daily painter, Plein Air, tagged , , , , , , , on July 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday morning my friend Linda and I went up to Dickey Ridge Visitor Center to do a little plein air painting.  This was my set up and view to paint.

As often happens when I paint on location, curious onlookers will ask questions or comment on the painting.  And yesterday I met a really nice family from India, now living in Dubai.

Their daughter, Kiara, was very interested in what I was doing so I showed her and even asked her to help.  She took the brush and help put a little paint on the canvas. 

Kiara’s parents watched.  Her grandmother was there too.  They had flown into Canada and were touring the U.S. for a month.  What fun!  I’m glad they stopped at Dickey Ridge while we were there painting.

And then they were gone.  I had to finish the painting all by myself. 

So Kiara, here it is.  Our painting almost done. 

Anyone interested in purchasing this or any painting can contact me at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com .  It was a great morning of painting outdoors.  (And thanks Linda for snapping the shots of me and Kiara.)

Art Campers Paint

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Art Camp started this week with three enthusiastic painters, Isaac, Mia and Peyton.  The first thing we painted was the color wheel while we learned about color mixing.

  Next we painted a mountain landscape scene to learn more about paints, brushes, canvas, and palettes.

 

 

 

This week our emphasis for study is Post-Impressionism so we paid homage to Boudin with a copy of his “Two Dogs in the Street”.

 

And Gauguin’s “The Siesta”. 

Can you believe we did all of us this in just two days?

Stay tuned to see what other lovely paintings these young artist make before the end of the week.
