The Birthday Girl

"The Birthday Girl," 5" x 7", commissioned pet portrait, depicting a cherished black lab. This painting was done in Golden Open Acrylics on an Ampersand Gessobord and will be headed to her new home shortly (THANK YOU to my newest Dog a Day collector!).

If you are interested in commissioning a special portrait of your own companion animal, please email me.

Several collectors have also asked how they can best browse available artwork (the blog has gotten cumbersome with over 1000 postings!), and in response I have created a gallery on FineArtAmerica that containsoriginal unsold paintings. I'll be adding to it over the coming weeks, but you are invited to peruse to shop and share. And don't forget - returning collectors will receive 10% off their purchases.

Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my artwork with your friends and family -
Kim


Notecards & Posters
Notecards made from the Dog a Day paintings can be ordered viaFineArtAmerica. The cards are large (5-1/2" x 8") and printed on a beautiful glossy stock - I love them!

Once the original painting has sold, I also set FineArtAmerica up so that collectors may purchase poster quality reproductions.

If you do not see the painting you would like, please email me and I'll do my best to get it uploaded within a couple of days.

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...
