Kittyscape


 

"Kittyscape," 6" x 12", another Gratitude Painting, a portrait of my little Mona Lisa, done in Golden Open Acrylics on an Ampersand Gessobord. Proceeds from this painting (and all Mona's others) will be donated to my local shelter (from whence she hailed). Inquiries may come to me.

 
In order to keep the emails short but sweet (that reminds me I have a Whatchamacallit candy bar tucked in my desk... yum!), I'm moving Lesson Paintings onto the studio FB page. There's multiple images of this one in process, along with some random notes of mine, over there.

 
Let me know what you think about this arrangement - it's all about keeping you happy!! 

 
Also, getcher Mona-Bug fix here - where you can view all the paintings of the Buglet to date.
 

Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family,
Kim
 
 
COMING UP ~~ PAINTING WORKSHOP "Mixing Color Not Mud": Saturday, October 8th, at the Orion Art Center in Lake Orion MICHIGAN. Email me to get on the early bird list.
 


 
Corrections
 

There were some anatomical problems with one of the horses in my painting from last week titled "Morning Banter." I've corrected this and made a few other adjustments to the painting, and I am so much happier with it!
 

The original is available for purchase - click here to see a larger jpg of the painting and get additional information.

 
You can also order notecards (of this painting and a mess of others - take a peek at the site!!).

 
THANKS!!

 
ALSO A REMINDER: I'll be painting live tomorrow at Raining Cats and Dogs on Main Street in Frankenmuth from 1-5. Stop on by and introduce yourself!

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...

Grindstone

"Grindstone", 16" x 20" acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting Grindstone, just a few strides away from winning The Kentucky Derby in 1996. Read more about this painting's story below - it's a good one! And inquiries may come directly  to me .  Paying it Forward Shortly after getting The Derby Gig, which neatly dovetailed my childhood passion for horse racing with my grown up obsession with painting, I started formulating a plan to give back to the universe. As it played out, The Kentucky Derby Museum got involved, and it was decided I would donate a piece to them, something they could use as a fundraising tool to further their education efforts.  "Would I be interested in painting Grindstone, the winner of the 1996 Derby?" they asked. But of course! Little did I know the background story, though. Every year the Museum asks the owners of the Kentucky Derby winner to donate one breeding to the Museum when th...

Golden Open Acrylics

I get all sorts of process oriented questions. Most recently I've been getting asked a lot about my paints and palette, which made me realize what a nice blog topic this would make! I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Premier palette box . This is comprised of a box (think Tupperware) with a sponge liner and a slice of palette paper that work together to keep my paints wet. This setup allows me to work with the same palette for about a full week, having the box open for multiple hours every day. You can see what the palette looks like at the beginning of a new session above - below the exact same palette after this week's work. For the last 25 years I have used Golden brand acrylics, mediums, and varnish. I love the overall quality of these paints and the fact that, when I have a question, their customer service department is made up of artists who actually use the products. Until last year, I used their Heavy Body paints exclusively. They have a buttery consistency, a little loose...
