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

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 (
