Camp Journal 2014 - Come Camping!


I've been wanting to put together a summer journal class ever since the success of AirMail Journaling in 2012, but I allowed myself to get intimidated by the idea of a digital classroom.  After far too long, I eventually told my inner critic to take a hike, and plunged ahead. Alone.

Well, I'm never totally alone. I have all of you to keep me on the straight and true path! (And if any one has virtual classroom architecture knowledge, that'd be a benefit too. But I digress.)

I've learned much on my own, delegated some things to teenagers, and am prepared to address whatever surprises remain.

Therefore, if you are brave enough to be a guinea pig AND you love journaling AND you want a summer adventure, you need look no further!

I've got a 10 week workshop packed with lessons that are part meditation, part introspection, part diary, all set against a backdrop of art supplies. Doesn't that sound like pure summer bliss?


The supplies list is minimal (see below), the weekly assignments can be completed in an hour (but you can choose to repeat them ad infinitum with a variety of spins), and campers will have unlimited access to the classroom. Lessons will be delivered via email/a private blog space and campers can share their pages/work via Flickr. I will stay at camp through the end of September, answering questions, throwing out additional inspiration, and eating virtual smores, but students' access will remain for one calendar year.


So what are you waiting for? Sign up NOW! All 10 lessons for only $75 prior to September 8th. Afterwards, tuition is $99.

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 (
