Temperatures shifted to the 40s, with rain predicted. While I knew it wasn’t a true end-of-winter melt, spring couldn’t help but creep her way to the easel. I am a rabid optimist after all. However, I got my due. Today I added a bit more magic to her along with my signature, all while blizzard conditions raged outside. Which makes her all the more glorious - ...

Inquire directly   to me   - I take personal checks, paypal, venmo and will arrange payment plans. I shared   this painting   last week, thinking she was finished. But it was later pointed out** that the painting could be improved - my story wasn't as clear as it could have been. You see the gesture of this horse, which was paramount to me, materializing as she approached the viewer, was not strong enough. Nor was her connection with the flowers explained - that they have taken root and are pulling sustenance from her existence, even if it is imagined. So I dug back into the piece and made some changes - subtle, yet I feel, critical ones that make the painting all the stronger. At times I'm able to see a painting's shortcomings on my ...

"She Used to be Mine," 24" x 36" x 1", acrylics on gallery wrap canvas with image painted around the sides. $1899 plus s&h, but you have to   ask nicely   as this one will be tough for me to part with. I accept personal checks, paypal, venmo and payment plans. I started out with the miniature horse as a self portrait, Young Kim, and the pansies represented my desire to own a horse (in Victorian times pansies meant "thought"). Then a Sara Bareilles song came on,  She Used to Be Mine , a song I associate with The Princess because of a gut-wrenching dance she once performed to it.
