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

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 (
