NEW PAINTING Hedgie (plus a special offer on Pet Portraits)

"Hedgie," 6x6x1-1/2", gallery wrapped extra deep canvas, acrylics, image painted/extended around wrap so no need to frame. This original painting is extra deep, and will sit upright on it's own (see photo below). $224 plus $20 s&h. Returning collectors receive 10% off. I accept paypel, venmo and payment plans. Inquiries may always come to me.
While I may forever best be known as the creator of "Painting a Dog a Day," the daily pet portrait blog and personal challenge I started in 2006, I actually paint all sorts of animals. Hedgehogs included. And while I have mostly shared other sorts of paintings the past few years (figurative Sirens, equine and rabbit Echos, and abstract Daydreams), I continue to do pet portraits quietly in the background.

I have a few beautiful little panels like Hedgie's residual from another project, and they need sweet little faces. So I'm putting out the call - there are (5) 6x6s (one is 1-1/2" deep, the other 4 are 1" deep) and (2) 6x8x1s. Who wants a pet portrait?

I'm offering one time only special pricing for these because our world needs some just-because sort of kindness (I just can't stand the news anymore). These prices are good for 2 weeks or until the panels are spoken for, whichever comes first.

6x6s     originally $399    now $319
6x8s     originally $449    now $349

PLEASE NOTE: Project contingent upon receipt of suitable photos. I work from your photos, meaning photos you personally took (not a friend of a friend or something posted online). Painting will be scheduled after receipt of reference materials and non-refundable deposit ($100). I may employ artistic license to improve upon the integrity of the end piece (which means I can choose not to match your couch). Commissioning party will get one round of adjustments to tweak/adjust animals' likeness. Painting shipped with insurance and tracking after final (digital) approval and satisfaction of balance due.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I'm looking forth to meeting your critters!

Thanks, as always, for following along with my artwork journey,
Warmly, 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...

Grindstone

"Grindstone", 16" x 20" acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting Grindstone, just a few strides away from winning The Kentucky Derby in 1996. Read more about this painting's story below - it's a good one! And inquiries may come directly  to me .  Paying it Forward Shortly after getting The Derby Gig, which neatly dovetailed my childhood passion for horse racing with my grown up obsession with painting, I started formulating a plan to give back to the universe. As it played out, The Kentucky Derby Museum got involved, and it was decided I would donate a piece to them, something they could use as a fundraising tool to further their education efforts.  "Would I be interested in painting Grindstone, the winner of the 1996 Derby?" they asked. But of course! Little did I know the background story, though. Every year the Museum asks the owners of the Kentucky Derby winner to donate one breeding to the Museum when th...

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...
