My Blue Moon Photo

 

Hey Friends,  OK,  the VACATION is over.  YEP, I did exactly what an artist is NOT supposed to do.

 

Not showing up for work is BAD for business.

 

But since I don't have an actual building to go to - I thought I could get away with it.

 

I've had a fabulous summer so far.  And I have painted pretty often.  And I do have most of the work done for some shows coming up.

 

The Double Line Painters has kept me occupied a bit too.

 

I was in the Food Lion parking lot when I took this photo.  I'm never in a pictureessqq place when a beauty like this occurs.  I almost missed it because of the massive amount of traffic in Salem now a days. (Spell check isn't working)

Glad you stopped in.

Another Great Day

 Hey Friends,  Showing you a few shots from a wonderful day painting on the Blue Ridge Parkway with the Double Line Painters.  We went to the Buffalo Mtn. Overlook at MP 168, I think.  It's gorgeous country.

 I took my trusty little camera and watercolors with a mixed media sketch book.  So I can tell ya, mixed media paper does not work like watercolor paper.  Still a good experience.

And one ordinary view with my point and shoot.  Photo's can never capture the grandeur of Mother Nature.

Art Show at Ikenberry's

 Hey Friends,  We (the DoubleLinePainters) will be setting up again this Saturday the 13th on the huge porch at Ikenberry's retail store on Rt. 220 in Botetourt.

These photos were taken at our last set-up in April.  This time there will be peaches from their orchards for sale along with our artworks.  Hoping all this rain hasn't been detrimental to the peaches.
Hope you can come by between ninish and threeish.  I know they are not words-Ha.

VIA Magazine

 Hey Friends,  Wanted you to see the latest issue of the magazine above, VIA, because they published a full page article about us, the Double Line Painters of the Blue Ridge !!  How COOL is that !

 I don't know if you'll be able to read this but if you click on an image on blogger it usually enlarges it.  It does for me anyway.  The photo is Mary Anne when the gang was painting at Carvins Cove a few weeks ago.  Judy wrote the article !  I just think this is so cool.

 Now on to a couple more cool things !  Lillie is losing the wrestling match with 3 darling labs !!

 And I don't think she minds a bit. 

 They are all so cute.  Lillie's little brother, Nic, wasn't so keen on the pups.  He seems to prefer the goats.

TK is the black boy and Max, his brother, is honey brown.  TK loves the little humans but Max really doesn't like but one human, his owner.  Lillie and Nic love visiting the neighbors with their TuTu.

Happy Trails, Travel Well
