Work in Process - A Virtual Live Paint

 
 
IN PROCESS:  "Ball?," 12" x 12", portrait of a youthful Nita, a golden retriever (reference photo below), done in acrylics on a museum quality panel, $599 to the first asking nicely. Which you can do via email.

 
I will share photos of this painting as it unfolds on the studio Facebook page over the course of the afternoon.
 
Which provides those of you with questions about my process the opportunity to jump in and ask.
 
Extra special thanks to Lisa Husar, friend and most amazing photographer, for her undying generousity in sharing images for my painting pleasure. I have painted her dogs Nita and Bear more than I've painted my own. You can show Lisa some love by visiting her website or following her on Facebook - prepare to be wowed!
 
(And if you think your dog has muse potential, email mepics for painting consideration, no strings attached! Photos must have been taken by you, without a flash, and should be high resolution. As photographer, you retain first right of refusal of any artwork created, but have absolutely no obligation whatsoever to purchase.)
 
Have a beautiful day,
Kim

    Bonjour ma chère amie,
    Je suis heureuse de découvrir le début de votre prochaine oeuvre avec cet adorable labrador et sa balle fétiche.

    Je vous envoie quelques clichés de mon nouveau compagnon, un bébé dalmatien qui est entré dans ma vie il y a tout juste une semaine.
    Il ne remplacera jamais ma chère Olwen disparue ce 15 avril dernier et qui me manque tant, toutefois il ouvre une nouvelle page de mon existence.
    Il se prénomme Icarus des chiens de Florence.

    Je vous fais de gros bisous.

    Martine, I am so sad to hear about Olwen, but to know that you have a fresh companion who is ready to love and keep you entertained warms my heart. Sending you kisses as well, and a couple biscuits for your sweet new boy!
    All my best, 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...
