Shenandoah River in Plein Air, oil on canvas, 11″x14″, SOLD.
I worked on finishing up this painting while working at Delilah’s on Sunday and am pleased with the finished product.
Here is how it looked when I returned to the studio from a day of painting down by the river. Painting in Plein Air is a challenge that pushes artists to develop their skills. I like it! Read about the Plein Air day here.

I was thrilled to be commissioned by a friend to paint a special present for her father-in-law as a Christmas gift from the family of his favorite family place, their hunting cabin.
It is a great old log cabin and was fun to paint. And it’s always a thrill to me when the client let’s me know the reaction of the recipient. Take a look here to see what she said.

I had a delightful time yesterday painting at The Southerlands with three lovely artists: Annajean, Charlotte, and Inge.
They created beautiful landscapes during their first lesson with me. And what a good job they did. I’m looking forward to next week’s session!

Several months ago I got a commission for a painting as an anniversary gift from a man for his wife. It was a photo of their wedding dance. But he also wanted it to reflect a favorite book that they had.
So I worked to incorporate the two. This is the beginning.
After working on it for a while, this is what I had.
Eventually I made a few more changes to make them each stand out more.
And this was the final painting. He loved it. I hope she did too!

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.

While showing you the mountain and rivers that the Tiger Cubs painted yesterday I thought I would show you what the Young Artists on Wednesday and Thursday did with the same subject. They did a fabulous job. I love seeing what they can do!
