"Frog Dog," 10" x 16", acrylic on museum quality panel, depicting a very flexible chocolate lab named Ace. This painting is hopefully heading to a juried exhibition in early 2014, but inquiries may always come to moi. In process pics of Ace are here and yes, I do accept a limited number of commissions - email me.
A friend shared Ace's photo on Instagram and I called her up, begging to paint him. Thankfully she gave me permission - I would have been haunted by this composition otherwise!
In other news, the studio got a much needed cleaning and reorganizing over the weekend, which means I purged some of my art books and put them up for sale on Facebook. There are a few still available here.
And in still more news, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of my idols and long time inspirations, cellist Zoe Keating, over the weekend. If you don't know her music, you no longer have an excuse, and if she's playing near you, treat yourself. She is a delightful, honest, deeply talented musician, a complete one-woman show, and one of the original group of bloggers and marketers that inspired me to take the daily creating plunge.
Thanks so much for following along with my artwork,
Kim

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...
