NEW PAINTINGS Holiday Cardinals

 

Kimberly Kelly Santini 
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

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...

Fisher Price Little People Puppy, Toy #10

"Little People Puppy (Toy #10)," 6" x 6," acrylics on masonite, starring a spunky little spaniel with jointed legs made by Fisher Price This painting is $75, with free shipping inside the US. Purchasing is as simple as  asking . I didn't play with this particular version of Little People toys, but I find them very sentimental never the less. They are well designed and charming. I tried to figure out what year Fisher Price made these particular jointed toys which I own (via ebay - I have circus characters too!), but got distracted learning about the history of Little People in general. They have seemingly been around for 50+ years! The Little People barn was a HUGE part of my childhood. The barn doors opened with a "mooooo," but in my head I heard welcoming nickers. Those horses and chickens were real. The brown and orange shag carpeting of my parent's family room became lush rolling pastures of green, and the Little People...

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...
