Paintings With Soul

  Chasing Rabbits, 24"x24" (circular), acrylic on a cradled round panel with a 1" profile, image painted around the sides so no need to frame, $1800 plus s&h   to the first asking nicely . Questions can always come   to me. I keep picturing this as a center medallion on a fabulous coffered ceiling  while I lie on the floor directly underneath it and just daydream. She will also be pretty darned amazing hung on a wall, oozing magic into her surroundings, while you sit across the room and bask in it. I think her magic is infection - you might even start to sparkle yourself. Here is the link to purchase  Chasing Rabbits .

  Daybreak, 24"x24", acrylic on a flat panel, $1200 plus s&h   to the first asking nicely . Questions can always come   to me. Morning has broken like the first morning Borrowed from the great  Cat Stevens . Perhaps I should have named her Eden. Or "The First Morning." Actually, maybe those are titles for the next one. Here is the link for  Daybreak Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork, All my best, warmly, Kim

  Steadfast, 18"x24", acrylic on a flat panel, $1000 plus s&h   to the first asking nicely . Questions can always come to me. Each of my paintings start with a "what if" And Steadfast began with "what if the blue sky inside  Fragonard (the painting immediately prior to her start)  expanded to fill more of the spirit animal vessel?" I set off to find out what that might look like, and along the way began to ponder about the constants in our lives that we don't really consciously think about. Like a blue sky. Or feet being rooted to the earth because of gravity. How plants grow towards the light. A loyal friend. What is a constant in your life? Here is the link for  Steadfast . Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork, All my best, warmly, Kim PS Pop in to Wednesday's Watching Paint Dry live Q&A and we can talk more about skies and other inspiring things. It's Wednesday, January 22nd, at noon eastern. Link to join is   here .

Rococo, 24"x30", acrylic on a flat panel, $1300 plus s&h to   the first asking nicely . Questions can always come   to me. I am obsessed with these billowy skies My favorite art history professor despised  Rococo paintings . They quickened my heart, but I pushed that away as he berated their sentimental, over the top, flouncy layers of clouds, foliage and fluttering textiles. After all, he was the expert, right?  Recently I rediscovered them and remembered how much they pleased me. Apologies, Dr. van Liere, but I can no longer ignore their pull. Here is the link for  Rococo . This one was also inspired by Peter Sis. I cannot get enough of his picture book for adults  The Conference of the Birds . Each spread is lush with various design ideas. Substitute rabbit for bird, add my own brushwork and color sensibilities and some Rococo skies, and, voila ( Steal Like an Artist , by Austin Kleon, not to be confused with copyright infringement, by the way). Than...

  Fragonard, 24"x24", acrylic on a flat panel, $1200 plus s&h to   the first asking nicely . Questions can always come to me. The weather forecast** is for blue skies......   **metaphorically speaking, because, actually, we are under a winter storm watch. Here is the link for  her. Jean-Honore Fragonard is one of my favorite painters. He created the most luscious, bright skies. I have a couple ongoing rabbit paintings here in the studio with skyscapes directly influenced by him. And one morning I thought, what if the sky was INSIDE the spirit animal in lieu of the expected top-of-the-panel location..... and thus was born Fragonard. I am going to try another one that feels more hollowed out, with more sky. Stay tuned for her! Meanwhile, haven't you always wanted a pony? Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork, All my best, warmly, Kim

  Delta, 24"x24", acrylic on a flat panel, $1200 plus s&h to   the first asking nicely . Questions can always come   to me. There's a story behind Delta......   There is a lovely little creek in our town that is home to a significant number of trout. One of our favorite stops on our daily dog walks (when the weather is warmer) involves lingering at their feeding and spawning holes. I so enjoy watching the interplay of looking into the waters depth while also seeing the reflection of the sky and the objects surrounding the creek's edges. It's a living painting. The momma bear in this painting was birthed of sketches done from  the bear cam  in Katmai National Park. It's my own life drawing session, watching them fish, lounge, groom themselves, lumber about. Now those rivers are much more active than our little creek here at home, but I love to imagine how they also teem with life under the surface. I married the two experiences together in Delta. I parti...

  Bonsai, 24"x24", acrylic on a flat panel, private collection. Prints are available; please see below. Questions can always come   to me. Bonsai is an easy keeper.   No after hours vet visits or escaping through a broken fence. Bonsai will be perfectly behaved, guaranteed! You can order prints of Bonsai here. Thanks so much for following along with - and supporting - my art journey, warmly, Kim

  Magma, 24"x24", acrylic on a flat aluminum panel, $1600 plus s&h to   the first asking nicely . Questions can always come   to me. Aluminum?   Several of the artists I follow have been working on aluminum panels, and I wanted to give them a try. I prefer a smooth surface, and aluminum is that and more! The reflective surface bounces light back to the viewer, making the paint seem all the brighter. There is a lovely lustrous quality to this piece as a result. Also, those lighted gray lines? they are exposed metal, which completely reflects the light as the viewer moves past, making the piece feel even more alive. Here is the link for   MAGMA . I am hosting a live q&a from the studio this evening at 7pm eastern. Please join if you are able. Here is   the zoom link .
