RECYCLED ART Pink Barbie Foxes

 

A selection of mixed media drawings ranging in size from 5x7 to 8-1/2x9, all on recycled paper. Priced by size ($85+). Questions can always come to me.
It seems as though Barbiemania has taken over the world. While I have not yet seen the movie (we took in Oppenheimer first and didn't have the stamina to do both this weekend), my kids all did and are strongly encouraging me to go.

Little known fact - i don't often go to the movies, nor do I watch much TV. I prefer books and the noise inside my own head, lol.

So anyway, I thought it would be fun to indulge even more so in pink for a bit. And given I'm preparing a new fox-centric solo show this fall, I decided that the next batch of warmup drawings would be Barbie pink foxes.

These are done on things pulled from my paper recycling bin - a kraft paper colored card envelope (lower left) with a Tomie dePaula stamp (love him!), the inside of security envelopes, and a surface collaged from a notebook page to-do list.

You can see these foxes in greater detail here, along with my other recycled art pieces. These are darling slipped into a standard frame (just put a sheet of colored paper behind them to accent the irregular edges) and add an immediate fun energy to your space. Hang a collection of these together for a contemporary feel or add a little one to a gallery wall for a touch of delight. I can also see them looking fantastically chic in a floater frame of just glass.....

The recycled art pieces are a fantastic affordable way to bring original art into your home.

Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,
All my best, 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...
