Step 3 – Middle Ground
Step 4 – Foreground
Last Saturday we had the Festival of Leaves in downtown Front Royal. Even though it was a rainy day we had people coming by Delilah’s to see all the new work we have by the wonderful artists who are there. I set up outside in a tent and started a new vineyard painting. Here is the start of it.

I’ve been working on a few vineyard paintings in between painting Baseball Parks to prepare a few pieces for a new winery, Winding Road Cellars, that will be hanging my work. Here is one I just finished.

Step 5- Finish
Last Thursday and Friday while working at Delilah’s I painted on the front porch. I love painting outside on beautiful days and Thursday and Friday were lovely. And it’s fun to talk to all the people who come by and stop to see what I am doing. I took several photos while I worked so you can see the progress of this painting. Virginia Vineyard View is an acrylic on canvas measuring 16″x20″ and will be available at Winding Road Cellars soon. (UPDATE: This painting SOLD…even before it made it to the winery. WooHoo!)

Earlier this week I wrote about painting at Pebbles last Saturday. (Read about it here.) I finally got a few minutes to touch up the painting and get it closer to a finished work. Here it is. I have been invited to hang my work at a new winery in Hume, Winding Road Cellars so I am working on some vineyard scenes for that. I hope to take them out there next week.

Last night at our adult painting class we worked on miniature paintings. This is the time of year we like to work on these because they make great Christmas gifts for friends. Here are three that I did: (Top-Bottom: A View of Signal Knob, oil, 3″x5″; The Little Shed, oil, 3″x 5″; AnotherView of Signal Knob, oil, 4″x6″.) Interested in miniatures for gifts?

Jed and Lincoln hunkered down in the bed to weather the storm yesterday and last night. We had lots of wind and rain but luckily we didn’t lose power.
So Mamie hung out with me in the living room. I watched tv while she watched her toy. You never know when a “boy” might come along and try to take it while you are distracted with the weather. 🙂
We are grateful that we are safe here at home. Praying for those who got “Sandy” much worse than we did.

This is the time of the year that we really see lots of complementary colors of blue and orange in the Shenandoah Valley. The mountains so blue and so much orange and gold in the trees. I will paint with some plein air painters today out near Browntown and hope to have some wonderful views to capture. Enjoy the scenery today as you drive around. These two abstract impressionist paintings, Blue Ridge V & VII are oil on 4″x8″ canvas and are available at Delilah’s for $35 each. Contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com to purchase or for more info.

Yesterday morning my friend Linda and I went up to Dickey Ridge Visitor Center to do a little plein air painting. This was my set up and view to paint.
As often happens when I paint on location, curious onlookers will ask questions or comment on the painting. And yesterday I met a really nice family from India, now living in Dubai.
Their daughter, Kiara, was very interested in what I was doing so I showed her and even asked her to help. She took the brush and help put a little paint on the canvas.
Kiara’s parents watched. Her grandmother was there too. They had flown into Canada and were touring the U.S. for a month. What fun! I’m glad they stopped at Dickey Ridge while we were there painting.
And then they were gone. I had to finish the painting all by myself.
So Kiara, here it is. Our painting almost done.
Anyone interested in purchasing this or any painting can contact me at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com . It was a great morning of painting outdoors. (And thanks Linda for snapping the shots of me and Kiara.)
