Finishing Something…

Posted in daily painter, tagged daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, oil painting, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Artist, West Virginia on August 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »

About six weeks ago while out for a visit at the cabin, I went out with Jed and set up to paint a nice view on top of the mountain.

It was a really nice day and I got started before the sun got to be too awfully hot.

One thing about painting on location is that you have to get started quickly and paint because the light is always changing.

I try to move along quickly but sometimes I get distracted by Jed. 🙂

I get as far along as I possible can while on location.

And then when I get back to my studio I put on the finishing touches and try to make it a painting that’s ready to frame.

This is the finished product of Sunday in Plein Air, and oil on canvas measuring 12″x24″ and available for $245 (or $295 framed).

Helping Haiti

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged acrylic, daily painter, Haiti, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Artist, volunteer, volunteer work on August 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Blue Ridge Arts Council (BRAC) is helping with a Haiti project for schools. There are several really large wooden boxes that they have asked to have painted that will be filled with supplies for school children and delivered soon. Our job, as volunteer artists, is to paint them in fun and exciting ways. I am working on a checkerboard top for one of the boxes.

Another artist worked on painting a scene on the box. These should be finished very soon and will be on the way to Haiti to aid the children there.

Guest Students

One of my regular Art Class students asked me a few weeks ago if I would work with her grandchildren when they visited this month. And, of course, I said yes. And boy did they turn out to be the most delightful kids. Evan and Lane are from Washington, DC but were here for a few days visiting the grandparents.

They came in with the best attitudes about taking the class and were all about having a good time and learning. What fun that makes it for me. 🙂

And for their first time in painting class, they both did an excellent job! Don’t you think?

Come back anytime. You were both so much fun.
