NEW PAINTINGS Holiday Cardinals

paintings with soul
because our world needs more beauty
 

UPPER LEFT: Peace
UPPER RIGHT:  Love
LOWER LEFT:  Joy
LOWER RIGHT:  Serenity

Four new original paintings, acrylics with pencil on cradled wood panel, sides painting gold (and shimmery), 8" x 8" x 1", each $299. These paintings will become available tomorrow, November 17th, at noon eastern time. Interested parties may purchase using the appropriate link (in the painting'e titles above) after noon on the 17th. All inquiries arriving after noon eastern time tomorrow will be fielded in the order received. You are also always welcome to message me directly.

And don't despair - I have options for those of you who cannot purchase one of the originals!! Prints and reproductions on a variety of objects (textiles, cell phone cases, tote bags, notebooks, notecards, tapestries, jigsaw puzzles, etc) can be ordered of the individual cardinal paintings. I have also included an option featuring all 4 of the images as laid out above. All the details about ordering reproductions and items are here. Prints start at about $23, and notecards (which frame up beautifully) are $2. I made sure to include everyone's budget as I built this holiday program.

2020 has been an extraordinary year. I wanted to make something special to usher in the holidays. Something that included all the feels we normally celebrate as the year draws to a close, but that also acknowledged all the losses. In the coming months things will look and feel very different, and as I sat with that and picked up my brushes, I channeled prayers and intentions into these cardinal paintings, all to hopefully wing a bit of Peace, Love, Joy and Serenity into your homes.

May your home be blessed, warm, and safe, and may your loved ones, no matter how far flung, have the same.

Thanks, as always, for following along on my art journey,
Warmly, 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...
