This is officially the first painting of 2011. I was so grateful for a little time in the studio this morning.
My days there have been very limited, and will be even more scarce once the littlest one arrives. He’s grown a lot since that photo was taken! Less than 4 weeks to go!
Until next time…

SOLD to a collector in Saratoga Springs, NY
Here’s a morning view of some cornfields near home from last winter. I am loving the fall so far, but I am also looking forward to winter. Lots of wonderful things are ahead in the coming months!
This Saturday I’ll be celebrating American Craft Week at the Beekman Street Art District in Saratoga Springs. The entire street will be filled with visiting artists displaying, selling, and demonstrating painting, pottery, weaving, felting, jewelry construction and more. I’ll be there with a selection of small paintings for sale. My table will be right across the street from Mimosa Gallery. Stop by if you’re in the area. It would be nice to see you!

Recent Commissions
Winter in Germany
18×24″ oil, © 2010 Takeyce Walter
SOLD - to a collector in Wilton, NY
Sunset Over Lock 8
24×36″ oil, © 2010 Takeyce Walter
SOLD - to a collector in Scotia, NY
Here are a couple recent commissions recently completed. Could they be any different??
The first is of a scene in Germany near the site of a former concentration camp. It’s a gift for the clients mother. I am really pleased that the painting captured the stillness and peacefulness of the forest in winter. The client is happy too. I hope her mom likes it as well.
The second painting is of a brilliant sunset over Lock 8 on the Mohawk River. The client who commissioned this did so as a milestone birthday present for herself. She lives near the Lock, and has enjoyed many beautiful sunsets there. She especially loves the salmon/pinkish colors that the sky takes on at sunset, especially in the Fall.
I’m really happy with both of these. I have a couple studies that I will post at a later time.
Until next time…

Sorry for the lapse in posting. I do have a pretty good excuse though! More about that later. 
Here’s a little pastel study of a hazy, lazy summer day on the Mohawk River. We just acquired a small boat, so I’m looking forward to getting out there more often this summer.

SOLD to a collector in Bay Shore, NY.
This little gem was completed on Saturday during Art in the Park. I’ve been so busy, I completely failed to send out a note about it before. This year was interesting. Many vendors didn’t show up because of the threat of rain in the morning. Despite that, there was a really great showing in customers. I met some friends – old and new. All in all, we had a great time. The rain eased up, so the afternoon was nice and sunny. Thanks to everyone who was able to stop by. A HUGE thanks to my supporting crew (you know who you are!). I couldn’t do it every year without you!!
Now it’s back to the studio to work on a couple commissions.
Until next time…

Curious Drake – Congress Park Duck
Curious Drake
5×7″ pastel on panel, © 2010 Takeyce Walter
SOLD to a collector in Bay Shore, NY.
This is another painting I started last week during the SAF Paint Out, but had to finish at home because of the rain. It’s a study of one of the many little ducks that live by the pond in Congress Park. This one in particular showed more interest in what I was doing than the others. So I snapped a couple pictures of him for this piece. He’s the second duck I’ve ever painted. The first was in the other SAF painting – Winding Stream. Did you spot him?
Blog Anniversary!
June 19th is my blog’s 4 year anniversary! In celebration, I’m doing a drawing for a free painting. All you have to do to qualify is to leave a comment on any painting on my blog that strikes you to do so between today and Saturday, 6/19 (praise or nays! I can take a little constructive criticism once a year! hehe!). I’ll pick a name from a hat on Sunday morning and announce the winner then. Good Luck!
Until next time…
