Marley




"Marley," 6" square, commissioned black cat painting, acrylic on panel, private collection (THANK YOU!).

Marley is going to make one heck of a Christmas gift!! His painting, that is. The real Marley wouldn't go so well for sitting still under the tree all wrapped up....

What's been going on in the studio?
  • Lots of book work - fact checking, proofing and design
  • Prepping paintings to go to an exhibition
  • Fielding inquiries and emails (see sidebar)
  • Editing an article for publication
  • Breaking into the Halloween candy stash (but don't tell the kids!)

Hope you have a spectacular weekend!!

Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my artwork,
Kim



Commissions & Inquiries

I always accept commissions - it's just a matter of how far out I am scheduled.

As of this posting, I am booking daily portraits for early December of this year. My cutoff date for holiday gifts is December 15th. 

But never fear! If you want to gift a portrait and my calendar is full, may I suggest a gift certificate?! These go over really well because the recipient can be involved in the process.

Meanwhile, just as an FYI (because inquiries are coming in faster than I can respond):
Sketches start at $49
Paintings start at $209

All work is priced based on complexity of design and overall size.

I promise to respond to your emails as quickly as possible, in the order received.

Thanks so much for your patience!

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
