Daisy's in the house - and could be headed to yours!

 

After summering at The Anton Art Center as part of the Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors exhibition "Here Comes the Sun," "Daisy" is back in the studio and available for purchase. She is generously sized 30"x30"x2-1/2 and a little larger than life (as should any creature with a powerful inner glow and veils of fresh flowers), acrylics and water solubles (sealed behind varnish) on museum quality panel, priced at $1899 plus s&h. Collectors always receive a 10% discount. Inquiries may come to me.

And "Daisy" is accompanied by "Bare Branches," "Confidante" and "The Torch Bearer." These four paintings were enjoyed by Detroit area gallery goers this summer, and now they are ready to settle into a more permanent setting. Scroll down for the details - and photos - for these lovelies looking for permanent homes.

"Bare Branches," (bear)  24"x36"x1-1/2", acrylics and water solubles/graphite on gallery wrapped canvas, with painting wrapped around the sides so there is no need to frame. Will arrive wired and ready to hang. $1899 plus s&h. Bring me home.

"The Torch Bearer,"  (equine) 16"x20"x1/2", acrylics on museum quality cradled panel, image wrapped around the sides so there is no need to frame. Will arrive wired and ready to hang. $649 plus s&h. Bring me home.

"Confidante," (cardinal) 16"x20"x3/4", acrylics and graphite on gallery wrapped canvas, painting wrapped around the sides so there is no need to frame. Will arrive wired and ready to hang. $649 plus s&h. Bring me home.

Thanks for following along on my painting journey,
Be well,
Fondly, 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...
