Updo I, Painted Sketch


"Updo I," painted sketch on multimedia artboard, 7" x 10", part of the Daily Paintworks Weekly Challenge.

I don't know much about chickens, but I love these ones with the extra feathery hats. Someone will clue me in as to what kind they are, won't you please?

And yes, there is an "Updo II" - you'll just have to wait until tomorrow for her.

This delightful painted sketch can be yours for $99 - and if you purchase her, you will get first dibs on tomorrow's lady, who's sporting an equally delightful hat.

Wouldn't she be great in a powder room? Such a fun Mother's Day gift........

Thanks in advance for sharing my artwork with your friends and family,
Kim


The Original Master - or would that be Mistress? - of Chicken Paintings

I first met Alecia Underhill via her equine paintings, as we were both members of the (now defunct) Equine Art Guild. And while our work has hung together in exhibitions, and I even have an Underhill in my own art collection, I have yet to meet Alecia face-to-face.

One of these days I will!

But meanwhile, let me introduce her to you. Everyone, this is Alecia. Alecia, please meet all the Painting a Dog a Day fans.

Alecia paints dogs too, and of course kitties. And all sorts of horses.

But I am especially fond of her chicks.

I bet you will be too!
(I would have included an image of Alecia's artwork with this newsletter, but didn't hear back from her in time to include it. I'm hoping to have something of hers to share with you tomorrow, alongside "Updo II."

  1. Kelley,
    Thanks for the contact info for Alicia. For being an equine artist, she does a mean chicken. As a former dressage queen, I enjoyed her equine portraits as well.
    Thanks,

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
“Rapt (Shadow),” from the Larger than Life series, 16”x22”, acrylic black lab mixed breed pet portrait on gallery wrapped canvas, $699. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . SOLD. This is Shadow, who went missing on Sunday night. He belongs to a friend of mine, and has been a fixture in our community for many years. Errant fireworks scared the silly old guy into running off, and his family is busy searching for him. (If you happen to be in the Lake Orion/Oakland County area and have seen Shadow, please call 248-391-0867 or 248-391-6817) I’m confidant that he is safe (somewhere!) and awaiting discovery, but meanwhile, couldn’t help myself from posting his portrait as today’s dog a day painting . He’s constantly on my mind, and probably will remain so, until he finds his way back home. Hug your four legged guys while you can! Thanks, as always, for looking. And for sharing these paintings with friends and family, Kim Kimberly Kelly Santini http://www.turtledovedesigns.com/ dis

NEW! Etsy Store

One of my favorite unsold paintings from 2008, "Lashes & Corkscrews," 5" x 8", acrylic on canvasboard, depicting a tobiano buckskin curly horse, $289. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com (but read further on how you can get a special deal on this painting!). Now it's ridiculously easy to browse my painting archives. All you have to do is visit my Etsy store . Etsy has a Shopping Cart (so you can pile it high with purchases from a variety of artists), is integrated with Paypal (although you may still pay by check if you prefer to), and is terribly simple to navigate. When the week has ended, I will have listed almost 100 of my favorite (UNSOLD!) paintings here, grouped loosely by subject matter. During 2009 I'll update the shop regularly, and add non-Dog-a-Day pieces as a bonus, thus making it easy to search for that perfect gift. Watch my daily postings for announcements, promotions and discount codes. If you do not receive the Dog-a-Day emails (
