Paintings With Soul

After last night’s lunar eclipse it seemed fitting to share a lunaresque (yes I’m making up words, but it totally fits!) painting. This is Possibilities (available for purchase), a 24” acrylic painting done with love and pure imagination on a cradled round panel. I make art to talk about happenings. Last fall I was busy painting things like this one above (yes, she’s circular just like the moon), Selenite Moons , Moonstruck , Orbiting , Pleiades and others in response to that eclipse and a subsequent string of super moons. In my mind, an artist’s job, my job, is to share my journey by making art reflecting what’s it’s like to be alive today. The things that pique my interest and tug at my heart. Sometimes the happenings are as basic as the first good snowfall of the season , sometimes they are a bit more complex like concern for children caught up in warzones . But when I find myself tangled in feels - whether they be joy or otherwise - I reach for my brushes. They give me a...

  The Elders   24"x36", acrylic on cradled panel (no need to frame), $2000 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Clicking on the image above  or here  teleports you to my website to view the painting in a room setting, zoom in up close to the image, and perhaps even make her all yours. Available to ship mid October 2025. Questions? just  reach out . For whatever reason, I have been thinking of mangrove and banyon trees - how their roots are like limbs, and as such, what sort of appendage driven actions might these trees then be able to perform? Tiptoed whispery treks along the growth's edge. Multi-jointed shadow puppets against a glowing sky. Full on bear hugs for a Fox turned Wolf (she started out as Fox but landed as Wolf, so I'm thinking she's packed with the magic of each). Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork, Love you, Kim.

  Resolute, 16x20, acrylic on a gallery wrapped oval stretched canvas, sides painted so no need to frame, $960 plus s&h to   the first asking nicely . And of course, questions can always come   to me. it was important to me  (for some unknown reason) that the first painting of this year be a rabbit. Folklore claims that saying "rabbit rabbit" first thing on the first day of the month will bring luck, so perhaps I was projecting this belief to my portfolio wishes for the new year. (and having just signed my second painting of 2023, I can say that it might be working!) You can view a larger image of Resolute   here , check out the details, even see her installed in a room. You can also view other available artworks through the same link. Thanks so much for following along with - and supporting - my art journey, warmly, Kim

"Sunrise," 18"x24", acrylics and graphite on stonehenge paper, $599 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. This piece will need to be framed and set behind glass by the buyer. I accept Paypal, venmo, personal checks and payment plans. Purchase inquiries can always come   to me . I've been doing a lot of experimental things in the studio lately, but today I wanted to feel a bit more accomplished. So I set out to finish something that had been started a bit ago. This was the initial study for the   larger 36" x 48" jackrabbit painting   I have in process, but as I worked on her today, she took on a life of her own. She's rather hopeful, just like the promise of a new day. Thanks for following along with my painting journey, Kim

"The Twin Spires (Churchill Downs)," 10" square, depicting the famed roofline of Churchill Downs as I saw it in the early morning sunrise during my visit in April. This painting is available for purchase only (no reproductions or other items will be made of it) - $499 gets it to your door. Inquiries may always come my way , and in process photos are  here. The Story Behind This Painting Well, there's two of them, really.   First one:  JettStream Productions (the Official Licensee/Art of the Kentucky Derby) was taken with the colors and style of my June desktop calendar , and asked if I would paint the Town Spires for a "Thank You " card. There was a little arm twisting involved. Ok, I lie.   Second one: When The Princess and I visited Kentucky in April, it was her spring break. And I made her get out of bed at an ungodly hour to teenagers just to see morning workouts at Churchill Downs (NOTE: She is not a horse crazy kid, e...
