North Entrance, Shenandoah National Park

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 20, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I was asked if I ever have time to paint since I have been teaching so much lately.  And the answer is yes!  Of course, with the Anniversary project I did with the 4th graders I painted a sample painting so their were about a dozen different subjects that I worked on so that I could simplify subjects for them to paint.

This painting is a spin-off of that.  I painted North Entrance, an acrylic on 20″x30″ canvas, for the current show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Park.  You can see it at BRAC for the next month.  There is some lovely work in the show.  Take the time to stop in and take a look.
