NEW PAINTING Winterberry

artist, instructor, daydreamer

"Winterberry," 24"x30", acrylic on flat panel, not yet for sale. However, all of these paintings are..... I would love to wrap one up for you!! Reach out with any questions and thanks so much for your interest in my artwork.

It's been a couple weeks since my last newsletter, which is a sad oversight on my part. I've been so caught up in my easel time and making all sorts of other connections with respect to my work and studies (yes, I am always learning!) that I've not prioritized writing.

But I have:

shoveled and chipped ice and snow until my body ached
updated the offerings on Fine Art America (prints and reproductions), including all of the Talisman pieces that have found new homes
been honored with a second place award at Starkweather Arts Center in their annual membership AND earned an honorable mention in the International Society of Experimental Artists members' show
created a wonderful video lesson from Snowglobe (the glass rabbit in the snowy woods, which was the last piece I wrote a newsletter about) that's been updated to my Patreon (online classroom)
been on my yoga mat daily since the beginning of the year
continued drawing foxes, foxes and more foxes, with plans to reveal them at a solo show this fall (I'm so excited - this is my first solo show in a couple of years, and I am really diving in to my work)
and signed 2 other bear paintings that I'll share in the coming days......

I will list some new Talisman paintings for sale in early to mid March, too, once I get a couple more pieces completed. So stay tuned for the details on that.

Thanks, as always, for following along with me and my artwork.

Be 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 (
