A Bridgewater resident from route 1 has placed the wonders of Shenandoah Valley more than once on canvas. Apparently, this artist doesn't just carry around oils and pastels to mountains and cornfields to capture nature's beauty. She also paints using hundreds of different pictures from the newspapers.
This artist explains that being able to use black and white, as depicted in the clippings she collected, allows her to paint in an old fashioned way. The artist adds that to be able to use them in a larger picture, she has to cut out pictures of objects and animals as well. The mural that stretches 15 by 4 feet to her family room is actually a product of a newspaper cut-out of two millstones. The riverbank, the rustic scene of the millhouse and the grey mill wheels perfectly matches together.
She implies that the big mural on the wall is a depiction of what happens when she uses photos to put detail to weather board paintings, wood land animals, and other things. In order to do this, she only needs water. Water is not hard to paint with, because it is volatile.
Her next painting will be a snow scene, like in the new photo clipping she displayed. Finishing a snow painting won't be a problem because it is easy. Quite the irony, she only has one or two smaller paintings and the large mural displayed on her home. But she said that she has already painted a lot of painting and sold them or given them away.
In Hagerstown, Maryland, there is a furniture store that helps her sell her stuff. When somebody, like a neighbor or a friend asks for her to paint, she does it willingly. The artist is so busy with too many orders coming from all directions. Because her paintings are really good to wrap in ribbons and give away as gifts, she gets more orders during Christmas.
She was only thirteen years old when first got into painting, thanks to a nice old lady in her neighborhood in Rockingham County. She would sit an entire afternoon for a lesson with the old lady, which is only as cheap as 25 cents. Her mother made her very first pallet from a lightweight board, using a drill and a paring knife and she still has it now. To tell how it was made, a note was decoupage on the old pallet, even if it was smeared with paint all over.
She made a family room in their home dedicated to items from their church that has been put down about six years ago. Near their house is a river, which you could easily see through the glass wall covering an entire face of the room. The artist said that because they wanted so much to bring the natural outdoors inside the house, they used the glass wall.
Something was amiss when she was painting the mural. Her children pointed out the foliage was too bright to complement the reds, rusts and gold in the foliage room, so she had to erase and redo the mural when she was nearly finished. The artist said she would no longer add more pictures in her home, so people could simply just focus on the eye catching mural on the wall which tells of how much she love painting.
