NEW PAINTING Shrine

 

the Talisman paintings from Fox Medicine are now available to purchase via my website


Shrine jus completely owns my heart.  There's the sky blue silhouetting ochre gingko leaves, the two feathers (one painted on each the left and right edges of the painting, and the fact that she stands solidly despite the fault line bisecting her rib cage and shoulders. This piece inspires me to be a better human.

Shrine is 24" x 30"x 1-1/2", acrylics on a cradled panel. She will arrive wired and ready to hand in your home or work space. She is $1800 plus s&h to the first one asking nicely. Returning collectors, please reach out to me for your 10% off discount code.

Shrine, along with her sister paintings, is listed on my website under Paintings, Fox Medicine. The second image in this post identifies her sisters -  Goldie (upper left), Irish (round middle) with Portal below her, Vixen (upper right), Atlas (lower left), Leelanau (bottom middle) and Shrine (lower right). These are originals on cradled panel, with the sides painted (so no need to frame), some featuring added details on the painted sides like feathers, all bearing an additional signature and my fox logo on the verso. They will arrive ready to hang in your home or work space with an extra dash of fox magic. I can also hold onto your purchase and ship closer to the holidays if needed.

As always, I welcome questions or thoughts about my work.

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