Bunny Kisses

"Bunny Kisses," 9" x 12", acrylic on gallery stretched linen. This is what the Easter Bunny brought me last year - and no, she's not still around. The kids polished her off about 5 minutes after I told them I had finally finished the painting. You should have seen them eyeballing the still life setup like savages!!
 
This painting will make for a great springtime decoration in your home. As my Easter gift to the most loyal Dog-a-Day readers who are checking emails and blogs on a holiday, I'll ship her off to the first one who wants her for a one time price of $199. This is a large painting, on linen, gallery wrapped so there is no need to frame her (the colors go around the sides of the canvas to the back).
 
I think I've had my share of too much candy today!! Meanwhile, a round of chocolate rabbits for all!!
 
Inquiries about "Bunny Kisses" may come to me. I'd also love the opportunity to talk to you about any still life ideas you may have - I would welcome the chance to create a special still life painting from objects in your life.
 
I wish you a blessed day spent with those you love.
Back to the dogs tomorrow,
Kim

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...

Fisher Price Little People Puppy, Toy #10

"Little People Puppy (Toy #10)," 6" x 6," acrylics on masonite, starring a spunky little spaniel with jointed legs made by Fisher Price This painting is $75, with free shipping inside the US. Purchasing is as simple as  asking . I didn't play with this particular version of Little People toys, but I find them very sentimental never the less. They are well designed and charming. I tried to figure out what year Fisher Price made these particular jointed toys which I own (via ebay - I have circus characters too!), but got distracted learning about the history of Little People in general. They have seemingly been around for 50+ years! The Little People barn was a HUGE part of my childhood. The barn doors opened with a "mooooo," but in my head I heard welcoming nickers. Those horses and chickens were real. The brown and orange shag carpeting of my parent's family room became lush rolling pastures of green, and the Little People...

Golden Open Acrylics

I get all sorts of process oriented questions. Most recently I've been getting asked a lot about my paints and palette, which made me realize what a nice blog topic this would make! I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Premier palette box . This is comprised of a box (think Tupperware) with a sponge liner and a slice of palette paper that work together to keep my paints wet. This setup allows me to work with the same palette for about a full week, having the box open for multiple hours every day. You can see what the palette looks like at the beginning of a new session above - below the exact same palette after this week's work. For the last 25 years I have used Golden brand acrylics, mediums, and varnish. I love the overall quality of these paints and the fact that, when I have a question, their customer service department is made up of artists who actually use the products. Until last year, I used their Heavy Body paints exclusively. They have a buttery consistency, a little loose...
