NEW PAINTING Queen

"Queen," 16x20", acrylic mixed media on panel. Queen is $850 plus s&h to the first asking nicely - will it be you? message me to find out.

Queen is a lesson painting
....but what does that mean, really?

it means that her creation process was included in a video lesson shared in my online classroom.

In her case I demonstrated how I work though various ideas as the piece progresses.

Curious? want to join us? of course you do, and of course you can!

my online classroom is basically a monthly membership ranging from $15-25 (you could also sign up at $4/month, which buys treats for Blue). Inside the classroom you will find regular content sharing exclusive behind the scenes footage and ramblings about my process and ideation along with structured exercises to help you manage a studio business and find your own style. Lessons come approximately weekly. The initial payment unlocks the previous 12 months of content, and then you are billed the first of the month onwards for however long you wish to stay. Learn more here.

Not a painter but want to support my growth anyways? well thank you sincerely for that - you can sign up for any of the tiers or choose a custom monthly amount that meets your budget. Again, details are here. 

And if the cost of living increase is tightening your wallet, you can always support me for free by commenting on and sharing my social media posts (I'm on FB and insta - links below), forwarding this newsletter and sending me good painting jujubes.

Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork - and for supporting me in my journey, warmly, Kim

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 (
