NEW SHOW BY THE DOUBLE LINE PAINTERS NOW HANGING AT THE SALEM MUSEUM

Hey Friends,  We, the Super Artists of  Double Line Painters of the Blue Ridge. hung our Holiday show at the beautiful Salem Museum today.

We rarely get a group photo so I'm happy to show you this one, taken for us by Alex, the new director.

And here is a photo of the exterior.  The staff at our Salem Museum does a lovely job all year, of keeping the grounds beautiful as well as the interior displays.

Admission is free and you will enjoy all the historical material as well as art by locals.

Must put this on your list of things to do before 2016 is a memory.

National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day !!!

Hey Friends,  I'm thinking the title for this should be "TADPOLES BUBBLE" because that circle reminded me of the little bubbles we used to see the tadpoles in.

So now, go ahead and give me your honest opinion !  I'm working on more and I will ask you for your opinion on them too.

Hope you have a wonderful wet Thursday.

Oh yes, DID you know it is National CC Cookie Day?

I WISH YOU KNEW AND PAINTING THIS MORNING

Hey Friends,  Here is another one you may not have seen yet.  It was painted from photos of Southport, NC.  Photos taken on a trip to the coast with my painting buddies.   It is 8" x 16" panel and varnished and available HERE.

And this morning we, the DLP's, made it to Longwood Park on Main St. in Salem, Va. to brush up on our skills.  Nice when you can find a view from a bench AND you didn't forget your umbrella..  And that IS a cemetery on the hill.

I am experimenting with some palettes that #Hongnian Zhang uses in his book #  the Yin/Yang of Painting".  My buddy, Linda, has been experimenting with them so I thought, maybe limited palettes would make painting easier or at the very least, less anxiety.  So today, I made 3 starts or sketches and will paint each with a different palette just to keep for reference.

Should be an interesting experiment.

Have a wonderful weekend.
