NEW PAINTING Persimmon - and Fox Medicine drawings are now available

 

"Persimmon," 24"x30", acrylic on panel, $1300 plus s&h. You may purchase her directly here, or reach out to me for further details.

momma bears and foxes abound in these parts 


The Fox Medicine work is back in the studio! Many many thanks to Starkweather Art Center for hosting the show and to everyone who took time this last month to visit. I have been moved and so inspired by your support. Thank you.

This weekend I was very busy behind the scenes, adding the pieces to my website and making them available for purchase.

But first, can we give Persimmon a moment? this stunning and stoic bear deserves a celebration of her own. Inspired by autumnal walks in the woods and, in particular, a grove of lusciously colored bright red maple trees, Persimmon is readying for a nap with memories of past springtimes to keep her warm. You can make Persimmon your own here.

Now as to the foxes milling about her feet (perhaps that explains her patient expression!), the mixed media drawings, recycled pieces (envelopes and paper mounted on cradled panels), tree spirits and expressive paintings can be viewed and purchased via this link.

Shipping costs have been rising quickly and irregularly. Please note that I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases - my website does not accommodate this, but I will refund shipping overages on multiple purchases. International collectors please note that the shipping calculations may not accurately reflect your costs; I will handle these transactions on a one on one basis. Thanks for your understanding!!

If you have been waiting for one of the larger or round Fox Medicine Talisman paintings, I'll be listing them later this week. I've gotta pace myself!! But psst, if you want fist dibs on them, sign up here. 

Thanks so much for following along with - and supporting - my art journey, warmly, 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...
