"Toby," sketch done in acrylic on bristol board, approximately 4" x 6" roughly centered on a 9" x 12" page, depiciting a Sheltie, commissioned and in a private collection (THANK YOU!).
I came into the studio in my jammies this morning and started sketching. It's been productive, going directly to the easel instead of the computer. My brain wasn't yet weighed down with a to do list - maybe this is the new routine I'm searching for.
If you want a commissioned sketch like Toby's, they are only available until the end of this year.
Don't know what the difference is between a sketch and a portrait?
A sketch is a small study, done with very loose brushwork, often enclosed in a rectangular form like the above piece. It is done on paper, and carries a generous margin on all sides.
A portrait comes in a variety of sizes and are done on museum quality panels. Portraits carry far more detail, realm of color, and complexity, like Toby's portrait below (from last week, an 8" x 10" painting on panel, this one's also sold).
Let me know if you would like either - but keep in mind that the sketch option will be gone before you know it.
Thanks,
Kim, who enjoyed a football and marching band and family filled weekend - hope you had a good one, too!!

"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
Wouaou !! j'aime l'expression du regard de Toby... Il est superbe.
