NEW PAINTING Sentinels

 

"Sentinels," 9" x 12", mixed media on panel. This painting is the first completed piece to come out of the new studio, and she found a home rather quickly. Thank you very much to my new collector. Feel free to message me with your own inquiries, and thank you very much.

I'm here, in the new studio, and mostly unpacked. There's a couple things to still iron out, like the fuse that is tripped when I blow dry my painting and have the space heater going, but I solved that today by painting in my Comfy. I didn't even have to turn the heater on!

It feels fitting that 2020 is closing out a personal chapter for me. I literally have gotten a clean slate with this new space. I spent this morning planning for 2021 - a year where, most likely, travel will still be non-essential for many of us, and public events like group meetings and in person workshops will not be feasible. I'm going to focus on building digital content for my online classroom and begin to offer virtual experiences like artist talks and painting demos. 

If you are looking to grow as an artist, I'd like to encourage you to check out my online classroom space. I share about once a week (sometimes more frequently) video shorts and other materials. It's like a mini studio visit and conversation from the comfort of your jammies and your own devices. This space, actually, is where the bulk of the new content I'm planning will debut.

Tuition for the moment (it will be changing in another month or so, once I get rolling on publishing the new workshops) is a mere $5/month, and current students will be grandfathered into the new rate structure. Which is a great reason to check it out now!

Another reason - tomorrow morning at 10am eastern I will be leading a zoom call about Fear and Trust for my students, and information on how to access that is in the classroom here(access is unlocked after you join).

I'd love to see you come and try the space out to see if it's the right fit.

Here's another direct link.

And now I'm off to make some dinner.
Hoping your home is warm and peaceful this evening.
Stay well,
Fondly, Kim

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
“Rapt (Shadow),” from the Larger than Life series, 16”x22”, acrylic black lab mixed breed pet portrait on gallery wrapped canvas, $699. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . SOLD. This is Shadow, who went missing on Sunday night. He belongs to a friend of mine, and has been a fixture in our community for many years. Errant fireworks scared the silly old guy into running off, and his family is busy searching for him. (If you happen to be in the Lake Orion/Oakland County area and have seen Shadow, please call 248-391-0867 or 248-391-6817) I’m confidant that he is safe (somewhere!) and awaiting discovery, but meanwhile, couldn’t help myself from posting his portrait as today’s dog a day painting . He’s constantly on my mind, and probably will remain so, until he finds his way back home. Hug your four legged guys while you can! Thanks, as always, for looking. And for sharing these paintings with friends and family, Kim Kimberly Kelly Santini http://www.turtledovedesigns.com/ dis

NEW! Etsy Store

One of my favorite unsold paintings from 2008, "Lashes & Corkscrews," 5" x 8", acrylic on canvasboard, depicting a tobiano buckskin curly horse, $289. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com (but read further on how you can get a special deal on this painting!). Now it's ridiculously easy to browse my painting archives. All you have to do is visit my Etsy store . Etsy has a Shopping Cart (so you can pile it high with purchases from a variety of artists), is integrated with Paypal (although you may still pay by check if you prefer to), and is terribly simple to navigate. When the week has ended, I will have listed almost 100 of my favorite (UNSOLD!) paintings here, grouped loosely by subject matter. During 2009 I'll update the shop regularly, and add non-Dog-a-Day pieces as a bonus, thus making it easy to search for that perfect gift. Watch my daily postings for announcements, promotions and discount codes. If you do not receive the Dog-a-Day emails (
