Blue Skies


 
 
"Blue Skies," 5" x 8", done in acrylics on a museum quality panel, $299. Proceeds from the sale of "Blue Skies" will benefit my local non-kill shelter. Inquiries may come to me. 
 

 
 

While I am always looking for new muses, every so often I put out a special call for something in particular. In this case, I was looking for rescued pets to feature in paintings for an upcoming exhibition (now gone by). Rolo's Mom sent me some gorgeous shots of this guy, and I so wanted to paint him!

 
But at the time I had finished my paintings for the exhibition, and was rolling into the holidays, so he had to wait.

 
And he did wait, patiently, until today when I decided that I needed a little sunshine in the studio.

 
And now I'm looking for senior dogs. There's a show in the next couple months featuring mature personalities, and I don't have many of those in my reference archives. If you happen to know of one (or more), feel free to send me some pics. Non-flash photos please, only photos that you personally have taken, where the dog makes up at least 1/3 of the image can be sent to me with the subject line of "Senior."

 
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support of my artwork,
Kim

Picture Book "A Dog Named Blue" - now available!!

The cover of "A Dog Named Blue," now available from Blurb publishers. When I first painted Amelia I never imagined that she would be re-christened "Blue" and inspire a book. In her defense, Amelia had a number of other partners in crime - animals who's portraits seemed to fall into a specific color category and prompt color-centric names. In typical ADD fashion, my brain started spinning 100mph. What if I turned those muses' paintings into a picture book for animal loving kids? I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...

Tabby Kit

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me .  Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po...

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...
