"Symmetry (Buddy)," 8" x 10", portrait of a black lab mix, another addition to my "Black and White" series of paintings. This painting was done in Golden Open acrylics on an Ampersand Geossobord and is quite possibly sold (I'm awaiting confirmation). Nevertheless, inquiries may always come to me. I met Buddy when I attended the Mutt Lynch Dog Days event last August. It was the best weekend - on top of being feted by Brenda and Chris Lynch (wine makers and hosts' extraordinaire), I had the opportunity to mingle with guests at their winery during a wine tasting par-tay. And Buddy was there with his little sister Bridget. And I met a mess of other dogs, too, many of whom I have painted or have plans to paint in the coming months. And mirroring Mutt Lynch's support of the San Francisco SPCA, I will also be donating proceeds from the sales of these paintings back to the SPCA. But meanwhile, here's Buddy, sitting all proud and proper, looking as handsome as ever. Thanks, as always, for supporting my artwork! Kim PS You haven't forgotten about the 10% off newly booked commissions, have you ?? the project has to be booked during this January, but can happen any time Breaking the Rules There's all sorts of unspoken rules in art. Like you should never center your subject in the middle of your panel. Or have your focal point (ie subject) be symmetrical. Or allow that same subject to run off the edges of the painting. Do you see where I'm going with this? Rules exist for a reason, but sometimes they are also meant to be broken. Just please don't tell my teenager, k? |
"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
This is SOO good! The color palette is amazing. I love your work.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimberly, What a handsome portrait, broken rules and all! It conveys a definite, noble attitude by putting him smack in the middle; nicely symmetrical! I like it!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Pragya!! :)
ReplyDeletePeggy - sometimes rules beg to be broken, don't they? So glad you like Buddy's portrait. Have a great weekend!!
