Autumn Glory

 Autumn Glory is a new oil painting I just finished.  It's hanging at Gallery Underground in Crystal City if you'd like to see it in person.  

I'm teaching online now, since I can't teach in person due to Covid.  Each week, I have a different theme that I teach to my classes.  A few weeks ago, it was autumn scenes. My students have done some amazing fall scenes, and I'm so glad that they are still painting even though we aren't going to class.  I start the demo in my online class and try to get it to a point that everything is covered.  Then I finished it up in my studio.    I'll start posting more of the things we've been doing.  

Christmas is coming up, so you might want to think of a unique gift of an oil painting.  Just let me know.

Sunday, September 27 2-5 p.m. (weather permitting)    Jane: 4057 N. 27th Street  Ingrid: 2515 N. Quincy Street  Hi friends and neighbors.  I’m excited to announce that, weather permitting, I will be hosting my first Pop-Up Walk By Outdoor Art Show this Sunday, and I hope you will stop by.  My neighbor, Ingrid, will also be showing her work in her own yard a few blocks away from my home.  Our houses are within walking distance.   We have both been painting to our hearts’ delight during our enforced “Artist in Residences Programs” over the last 6 months, and we’ve got exciting new works to share. We decided to set up our own yard art galleries.

 

 

. 
Jane and I hope you will enjoy an artful afternoon in our Arlington neighborhood. We will observe social distancing rules so please wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart.  

 Please feel free to invite friends and neighbors and spread the word.

Original oil painting by Jane McElvany Coonce

Due to Covid-19, I'm teach 2 classes online, one Thursday afternoons and one Thursday evenings.  Last week, the subject was reflective metals.  Here are the two "brass demos" I did.  Can't wait to see what my students do. 

The class is an hour long.  I did the brass and the clementines for the demo.  Later on, after class, I added the orange slice to help balance the painting, and I added the flowers to the other one.  I've got 2 beautiful frames waiting for these two.
