Paintings With Soul

Detail from a special in process painting that's currently on my easel. Working title "Maelstrom," the entire painting is 18x24, of which this is about a 9" square. Purchase inquiries, including reserving this work in process, can always come   to me . I just wanted to share something sweet and tender with you today. Seems like we need more of that sort of thing lately. Enjoy! Thanks for following along with my painting journey, Kim

"Foxglove" 24" x 48", acrylics on masonite, all lovely and drippy and colorful and thoroughly alive, $999 to the first one asking nicely. Personally, I think my floral pieces are getting better and better, but I may be biased! Please  email me  if you are interested in adding Foxglove to your collection. Detail pics are here . I did not know that foxgloves were also called fairy houses. Guess that's why I love them so very much, because of my affinity for the little people. Foxglove version 2.0 will now have to include a tiny magical creature..... Always new ideas right around the corner! Thanks for following along with my artwork, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com   

NOTATION 9-5-15:  "Fox Kit" completed after paint dried (this humidity!). There was some sandpaper involved, a few glazes, more sandpaper, and then the painting got scanned. Any digital image suffers in comparison to the original, but the above image is a fair representation of the color, value and texture in this painting. In process, "Fox Kit," 10" x 10", acrylics on panel, a painting a young fox inspired by a photo found on morguefile.com . This piece is nearly finished, but I ran into the challenge of an extended paint drying time due to our hight humidity. This piece has been wet for nearly 4 hours now! I would like to take sandpaper to some areas (so as to soften edges and color transitions), but cannot do that until the paint cures. Meanwhile, this painting and all it's color and delight can be yours for $499, which include s&h inside the US. All inquiries may  come to me . SOLD (THANK YOU!) Please note this is an iPho...

"Sun Bun (Bun II)," 8" square, acrylics on museum quality panel depicting Mr. Bun, a Lionhead Rabbit. Proceeds from the sale of this painting will help homeless buns - he's $399 to the first asking nicely. SOLD VIEW IN PROCESS PHOTOS I painted Bun again today (here's his first portrait ) - he's such a good little model! Next week we'll change things up a bit - it's Derby Week, and keeping with tradition, I'll paint horses each day. But meanwhile I'm off for a weekend of dance. In between numbers, I'll be doodling in the dressing room, making plans for new paintings. Thanks, as always, for following along with my artwork, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com
