Walking Max

 

Hey Friends,  Some new work.  I took photos a few months ago of my niece and gran babe walking MAX all around the yard.  The sun was going down and glowing through this large bush.  I think it was called "Broom".  Very pretty but a little difficult to capture in paint.  It is on Ebay HERE.

 

Here is another from our trip to Douthat State Park.  This was actually a full sized road but I like it better as a path.  Really enjoyed that park.

I'm working on a commission and keep forgetting to get some progress photos .  But I've got my camera in hand now.  So back out to the studio I go.

Judy's Garden - Two Views

 

Hey Friends,  A couple more added to the Ebay auctions.  CLICK HERE for more info.  Both are 9"x 12" acrylic on canvas panels and varnished.  Painted from photos taken at a friends garden last summer.

 

She does one heck of a great job with her landscape.  She evens grows berries and vegetables.  She has a dog named Daisy that enjoys helping with the chores and showing guests around the gardens.  I saw my first Red-Winged Blackbirds in her gardens.  Beautiful.

We had one member of our painting group, the Double Line Painters of the Blue Ridge, dress up with a hat and aprons and a water bucket for this photo shoot.  It was a great day.

"A boy and His Dog"

Hey Friends,  Here is a wee bit of heaven for ya.  We can only dream of such things.  Mostly inspired by the movie "All Dogs go to Heaven".  This fella is swinging with his best friend one last time. Convincing him there is nothing to be afraid of in Heaven.  Click Here for a closer look in Ebay.

 And now for what I did today.

 

I went to "Butts Cemetery" in the Glenvar/Fort Lewis area on Alleghany Rd. here in Salem, Va.  And painted a small sketch for a distant cousin that is to be in this area in April or May doing genealogy research on his ancestors.  Which includes some of mine.  The work he and his sister have done is amazing.  They have such patience.

He wants to visit this cemetery so I thought he might like something besides a photo.  A professional photographer may be able to do this place justice but not me.  And from the looks of that photo above, someone is doing some construction there.  See ya soon Robert.
