Art Camp this week is going great. We are working on Modern Art paintings. We just completed our “Matisse” painting. Here are some of the young artists working on their Matisse.
Then after working with the Art Campers all morning I rushed over to Angel’s Korner where my next group was waiting….34 young artists, ages 5-11. We painted berries. Here are some of the 34 Strawberry paintings that they did.
Good job everyone!!!

Art Camp continues. This week our focus is on Modern Art. First we produced a color wheel to learn more about color mixing.
Then we applied what we had learned about color to painting Rothko-like modern paintings.
The young artists did a great job producing these wonderful colors using only blue, yellow, red and white on their palettes. Don’t you think?

Coloring Book Cats and Coloring Book Dogs, acrylic on canvas, measuring 30″x20″ each. These are on display at the Blue Ridge Arts Council for “Big Art in a Small Town”.
I saw a kid coloring in a coloring book at a doctor’s office recently and thought, “What fun!” I haven’t colored outside the lines in years so I came home and “colored”. And it was fun!!!

A few weeks ago Michele Sommers, Sommers End Originals, and I painted this mural at our the Julia Wagner Animal Shelter here in Warren County. It turned out great and adds a lot of life to a dull wall there.
We invite other artists to come out and add other animals to the window. Plus we will be painting a tree on the small wall leading to the cat area and will add cats to that mural. If you would like to help just get in touch with us.
You can see more photos of the mural and Michele and I at work here.
