artist, instructor, daydreamer

Clockwise from top left, "Spruce," 24"x30", acrylic on cradled wood panel, $1200 plus s&h; "Bare," 15"x30"x1-", acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas (with painted sides featuring a pink feather) $1500 plus s&h; "Northern Lights," 24"x30", acrylic on cradled wood panel, $1200 plus s&h; "Winterberry," 24"x30", acrylic on flat panel, $1200. These pieces will be available for purchase at 3pm eastern Marcy 5th, 2022, via the Available Paintings page on my website. Please read further for details.

I can't believe it's time for another Studio Sale, but I'm running out of room to store new work!

This small collection of new original paintings will be available to purchase directly off my website Saturday, March 5th, at 3pm eastern time. If you would like to see detailed images of the paintings, please use the links below:

Spruce
Bare
Northern Lights
Winterberry

How will it work? Well, at the specified time, the paintings pictured will be added to those on my "Available Paintings" page, with an "Add to Cart" button (interested buyers will click on the image of the painting they wish, and on the subsequent page choose the "Add to Cart" button). The paintings will sit there until a collector completes the sale (once the sale has been completed, the "Add to Cart" button is no longer available). First come, first serve.

You will not see the new paintings on the page until 3pm on Saturday. However, I will say that there currently is a wonderful collection of available work currently on my site at the moment, and I would be happy to combine shipping on purchases.

INTERNATIONAL COLLECTORS: My website does not have a means for me to correctly charge international ship costs. For international shipments, I fully expect there will be additional fees beyond what the system calculates at the time of sale. My current plan is to address this surplus cost via a separate invoice after the paintings' sale and we have a final weight for the parcel. I am happy to discuss this with you at any time.

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

See you Monday!!

Be well,
Fondly, Kim

“Katie’s Moustache,” 6x12, pet portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, $90. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . One glimpse of Katie’s face, and I was hooked. Not only did she fall into my beloved “black & white” category, but she came with a full moustache and doe-like eyes. I first covered the canvas with a variety of blues and purples, using a (mixed) light green and pink for the highlights. (Right now my palette has been expanded to include the following: pthalo blue red, azurite hue, cad red dark, alizarine crimson, cad yellow dark, and then for graying/hazing out I use light green yellow and ultramarine purple.) I lighten with titanium white and darken with one of the blues and a touch of one of the reds. As a side note, at this time last year I was really struggling with my limited palette (I went from about 60 pots of paint to 3), but I have lived the benefits – I am so much more familiar with what I can mix given just this handful of colors. My paintings are also m...

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...

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...
