Target’s Warren County Middle School Art Project

In September we received a grant from Target to teach an art residency at Warren County Middle School.

I spent the day with 13 wonderful young people who attacked the project with enthusiasm.

The project was part of the 175th Anniversary of Warren County project so we painted pieces that relate to our history both past and present.

Each student painted two 12″x12″ panels that related to government, education, tourism, transportation, or agriculture.

We put these together into four larger panels that will be unveiled this evening at WCMS at 6 pm. If you are downtown this evening and would like to see them in person stop by and help us celebrate these wonderful young artists and their accomplishment!

And many thanks to Target for sponsoring this project; to Linda Kusior and Shelly Brugal, two wonderful artists who assisted us with the class; and the Blue Ridge Arts Council for continuing to bring exciting art projects to young people in our community.

At the Festival of Leaves last Saturday I worked on a couple of the Farm Animal series paintings.

The first was Mean Rooster from Suzanne’s farm. You can read more about him here.

This was the beginning of the painting.

And I made progress on it throughout the day.

And here’s Mean Rooster nearly finished. This is an oil painting on 8″x6″ canvas panel. He is part of the Farm Animal Series that you can see at Delilah’s on Main Street in Front Royal.

Art Campers Celebrate – One with 4 Generations!!!

Posted in Art Camp, tagged Art Camp, daily painter, reception, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, young artists on October 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »

We had a great opening reception for the art campers yesterday afternoon at the Community Center. Many of the students were there and lots of art admirers to encourage their work.

It was good to see the students showing off their work to their family and friends.

And I especially loved that Jackson Pond has four generations of his family there to help him celebrate his art!

Good job everyone. The Art Campers Art Display will be at the Community Center until the first week in November. Please stop by and see their wonderful art for yourself!

Schnauzer is an acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. And thanks to a generous collector in Front Royal, he was purchased with proceeds going to help build the Off-leash dog park. Many thanks.

Lucy II is an acrylic on canvas. This is the second painting of Lucy. the first was one I did for the “Bark for the Park” series and it was purchased in the spring. But Lucy is my cousin’s dog and she wanted a version of Lucy so this one was finally completed and mailed off to Georgia.
