Tiger Cubs Painting Class

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

A few weeks ago one of the moms of one of my Thursday Young Artists asked if I might teach her Tiger Cub scouts a lesson in color mixing and painting. 

Last Wednesday, we held that class.  Here they are working on their painting.  That’s my friend Shelly helping me with the large group.

They were very enthusiastic and seemed to really enjoy painting.  The only mishap was when I accidentally dropped a paint brush on one boys head when I was trying to help him.  No permanent damage, just a little green paint in his hair.  Oops!

They did a terrific job…eight beautiful paintings of the mountain and river!

“Dog Show”

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, Pet Portaits, tagged , , , , , , on April 8, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I was asked a couple of times this week about the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale.  It’s not too late to see it.  It will be hanging at the Community Center until May 15th. 

And it’s certainly not too late to purchase a painting to help the park.  Just contact Kym at the Blue Ridge Arts Council or me to let us know which painting you would like.  Just like this little Lhaso Apso, all the paintings in this show are 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas and priced at $125 with all the proceeds going to the park.  You can also scroll back through the posting on this blog to see the paintings and select from one that hasn’t yet sold.

Or if you would just like to support the park you can send a donation to the Warren County Dog Park Association, c/o Kelly Walker, 939 S. Marshall St., Front Royal, VA  22630.  Any amount is welcomed and appreciated!

Painting with Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on April 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This week I worked with the 4th grade students at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School to produce the 175th Anniversary Painting.  The first day Doug Stanley, County Administrator, reviewed the history of Warren County while I gave an overview of the material we would use in the paintings.

I also did a quick demo of some of the brush strokes they would use as well as a color mixing demo of certain colors they would use.  They seemed fascinated.

Then on the second day of the project they started painting.  I will share more of their work soon.  Today was their final day of painting and Hagerstown TV came to do a story.  The kids were so excited.  Take a look at the story here.

Okay, just one more day….

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , on March 31, 2011| 2 Comments »

Okay.  I promise I will stop posting photos of Hickory soon.  But I couldn’t resist showing a couple of more shots from the Opening Reception Tuesday evening of the “Bark for the Park” Art Show.  This cutie is Whill Stanley, Doug’s son.  He was really enjoying petting Hickory.  And I want to say thanks to Doug who is our county administrator and who has really helped to move the dog park project forward. 

 

And this little sweetie is Max Napier, the grandson of our friends Kathy and Doug.  He was loving Hickory too.

I was really thrilled that so many little people were brought to the reception to meet Hickory. 

And this fun shot of me with Hickory was taken by my friend and animal lover, Jennie Gosche’. 

Many thanks again to Hickory and her family for supporting the event and especially for supporting the park!
