“Tabby Cat Wink,” 6’ x 8”, feline portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, $80. Proceeds from the sale of this painting will benefit 2nd Chances Pit Bull Rescue in Charlotte, Michigan. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .
SOLD.

This piece was inspired by Felicity, a sweet gray tabby with orange points, available for adoption. So much color in her fur, and such a coy gaze.

2nd Chances Pit Bull Rescue takes in more than just pit bulls and pit bull mixes. They have a variety of breeds, and a smattering of cats. Right now they have 5 different kitties available for adoption, Felicity being one of them. Contact Debbie at 2nd Chances to arrange an appointment to meet Felicity or any of her other furrball friends - mailto:jaw2ndchances@ia4u.net?subject=Petfinder%20Pet%20Inquiry:%20Dana%20-%20ASAP!%20(Id%20) . You can also see the other animals available for adoption from the rescue at their website: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MI249.html . The rescue is full, and cannot accept any animals until they place a few of the ones they are currently fostering, so spread the word to those thinking of adopting a four legged family member.

Do you have a dog or cat that you’ve adopted from 2nd Chances Pit Bull Rescue? Do you want to help raise money for their efforts? Commission your own dog-a-day painting prior to the end of this month, and proceeds will be returned to the rescue. For more information, please contact me at ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .

Thanks as always for looking.
And for sharing these paintings with your friends and family,
Kim

Picture Book "A Dog Named Blue" - now available!!

The cover of "A Dog Named Blue," now available from Blurb publishers. When I first painted Amelia I never imagined that she would be re-christened "Blue" and inspire a book. In her defense, Amelia had a number of other partners in crime - animals who's portraits seemed to fall into a specific color category and prompt color-centric names. In typical ADD fashion, my brain started spinning 100mph. What if I turned those muses' paintings into a picture book for animal loving kids? I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color

Tabby Kit

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me .  Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own
