Paintings With Soul

check her out, make her yours Cirrus, 24x20, acrylic and pure imagination on panel, $1500, available exclusively through my website. S&H inside the contiguous US is on me. Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Some pieces evolve and take shape fairly quickly, others take their darned sweet time. This one took about a year. When this happens, I think it has something to do with my ability to understand the concept and then apply the proper technique/sensibilities so as to do it justice. The idea behind paintings like Cirrus show up and get me all tingley to make them, and along the way I struggle with doing so because I haven’t yet learned what they require. Cirrus required a tamping down of color (I changed my color choices in January to help me figure out how to do just this), a better understanding of basic value shapes (something the Bear+Mask pieces have been guiding me towards over the past 5 months) and reveling in the relationship between ha...

check her out Discerning, 23-1/2x24, acrylic and pure imagination on panel, sold (thank you so much and a very warm welcome to my new collector). I dreamed of Wolf a few weeks back, so invited her to the easel in a similar fashion to Bear - emerging from the darkness, encased in a shallow depth of field, with a direct gaze. This format brings the subject right into the viewer’s space, something that is important to me. It helps me to understand and better respond to the paintings when I know who they are meant for. These recent paintings have been for Little Kim, who imagined she was friends with all the animals. She wove some pretty solid stories about deep connections to animal spirits, and it’s those narratives I dip into in the present day from the easel. They are still here inside me, fueling each painting. As always, I am so grateful for your interest in my work. Thank you so much for your support. Big Judgement-Free Love, Kim.

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...

Questions can always come   my way . make her yours This girl started when I was clearing a mess of studies from my drawing area and   these two pieces aligned . I had dreamt of wolves a couple nights prior and of course, with Renee Good and other current affairs on my mind, momma bears were in the mix too. So I set out to make a painting about maternal strength. The bit of red over Bear’s eye was a remnant from the painting I worked overtop of. It felt like a burning ember. Which then gave me the idea to add a firey ...

  20”x20”, acrylic on 3/4” cradled panel (no need to frame), $1400 plus s&h to the first taker, which you can do  right here  or by using the button below. Questions may always come  to me . make her yours She sees the darkness, knows it’s of our own doing, and chooses to sit inside it with us. There was a crossroads with the recent painting  Canis Major  where she offered up two possible endings. The one I didn’t choose kept calling to me - I couldn’t walk away without knowing what a darker version of the concept would look like. Now I know. And one of my takeaways here is what might a more contrasting version of this look like. Guess I’ll have to return to the easel, darn it!

36”x24”, acrylic on 1-1/2” cradled panel (no need to frame), $2000 plus s&h to the first taker, which you can do   right here   or by using the button below. Questions may always come   to me . This one’s been a few months in the making - she tested my patience. I can often be like a toddler, “more More MORE”! but that doesn’t serve the art in the end - it merely entertains me. I have to force myself to slow down, set the piece aside, and learn to savor or relish granting permission to return to her. Which is when I am still excited about the work ahead, but not stupidly so. Thank you so much for your interest in and support of my artwork.
