NEW PAINTINGS Canary and Tiger Lily

 

At left, Canary, on right, Tiger Lily. Both are original acrylic paintings on gallery wrapped circular canvases with painted sides for a clean, contemporary look. Both at 12" in diameter, signed on the side and back (so you can hang in any orientation, but I rather like them this way). Each $800 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Why not go a little crazy and buy both for $1300 ($300 plus shipping overage (my website doesn't consolidate ship costs) will be refunded to the purchasing paypal account). Link to purchase is below.
 
This has been the Summer of Abstraction. I am learning so much - and falling in love all over again with my materials.

One, paint is so versatile. I can thin it down and make it all drippy, I can break apart the binder and get a fantastic mottled effect, I can build it up for impasto and tactile brushwork. I can brush it on, paint with my fingers, roll, scrape or use any one of other random tools on hand. It can be opaque marks that swallow up the surface or translucent passages that reveal or hint at the history underneath.

And shapes, oh the shapes! I'm working on paper cut into various shapes, using circular motifs, squares, rectangles. Rearranging numerous works of varying shape and size and building larger, irregularly shaped assemblages. Adding bits to the edges, layering paintings overtop each other, painting dimensionally on sculpted form.

In the process I'm also discovering new ways to approach design, how to filter and distill inspiration, and how to speak more coherently about my art.

Meanwhile, these two are now ready to head out into the world. Will they be coming to your home?
Canary can be viewed here.
Tiger Lily here.
In both instances there is the opportunity to dive nose first in to greater detail, view them in a room setting, along with a link to purchase. 

Let me know if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus s&h paid off within a year) - those are set up on an individual basis and not processed through my website.

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...
