Paintings With Soul

  Otis Lane Farm, (4) 6"x6" original paintings, acrylic on panel, done plein air. Through 9-24 these 4 are available as a curated collection with special pricing of $560 plus s&h. After 9-24 they will be available individually for $200 plus s&h. Individual pieces are titled "Red Roof," "Pole Barn," "Tree Line" and "Goldenrod."  Link to purchase is below.   Please reach out   with any questions. These pieces were part of my plein air painting adventure last week. Our rental house nestled into the arms of a working farm, which provided some rather bucolic views. I delighted in shifting my easel every so slightly and settling in to study an entirely new vista. Most of the farm studies I did were of this small 6"x6" size, but I have a couple 8"x10"s too that you'll get to see later this week. Meanwhile, these four can be seen in greater detail   here ,  viewed up close (you'll get a better sense of the pa

  Dune, 12x12, acrylic on cradled panel with approximately a 3/4" profile, image painted around the sides so no need to frame, $800 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Link to purchase is below and questions can always come  to me. I created this painting in the studio a few weeks back.  I spent this last week on a painting retreat smack dab IN dune country painting them from life. There is something about this color palette that is so soothing to me - and to be honest, I think it is in part because I have so many pivotal life experiences that happened to involve exactly these colors. I think it merits mentioning, too, that while I could paint the landscape representationally (and did so last week via   little pieces full of color notes  which are available here ), I prefer (at least at this moment in time) to paint more of an experiential landscape. I want to paint an image that speaks to how I recall or soak up the elements of a particular space without organizing said elem

  McIntosh, 11x14, acrylic on flat panel, private collection (thank you and congratulations to my new collector). Link to purchase is below and questions can always come  to me. McIntosh started out last winter as a demo painting.  She was packed with organic linework and rich earthy color. Last week I wandered past several apple trees and became enchanted with the sinuous, tangled pattern of branches. They had something in common with the linework in this bear, so of course I needed to marry the two. You can see McIntosh in greater detail  here,  view her up close (you'll get a better sense of the paint quality) and in a room setting, and find a link to purchase. Let me know if you would like a payment plan on any of my work (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

  Hibiscus, 23x30, acrylic on flat panel, $1300 plus s&h. Link to purchase is below and questions can always come  to me. This painting was stubborn (which is entirely on brand for a Shetland Pony).   She showed up back in May as a demonstration piece for my online classroom. During the demo she grew wings, and during subsequent paint sessions I got so hung up on the idea of Pegasus that I stopped listening to the painting. As a result, the piece was overworked and boring. Ultimately I stripped her of her wings and set her on the shelf. I bemoaned the loss of her spark while she oversaw what played out on my easel for three months. Yesterday I decided to give her another try. The stars were aligned properly or maybe it was just that she was waiting for the hibiscus to be fully in bloom. Whatever it was, the magic came back over the course of the painting session.  I brought some of what I learned in my summer workshop to play - thick, painterly marks, broken and blurred shapes, and

  I am pleased to offer a curated collection comprised of two paintings, both acrylic on flat panel. At left, Skylight, 18x24, $1000 plus s&h if purchased alone, on the right Porch Pot, also 18x24 and $1000 plus s&h if purchased alone. In this arrangement they collectively measure 24x36 (without frames). They will be offered at special collection pricing of $1400 plus s&h until September 17th, 2023. Afterwards,  they will be offered individually at the prices listed above.  Inquiries may  come to me  or you can  use this link . I am swimming in work from the summer months  and the paint is continuing to fly. It's a fruitful and exciting time to be in the studio, as long as I keep a path clear on the floor for the dogs to safely come and go. LOL.  As the artist I always have the distinct joy of seeing my work as a collection. Groupings of my paintings, intentional or otherwise, have conversations and elevate each other. This happens in my peripheral (the studio walls alw

  Three new pieces, acrylic on flat panel, a curated collection of original art available with special group pricing of $700 plus s&h.

These will be offered as a group until September 9th after which I will parcel them out at the individually marked prices above. Inquiries may   come to me   or you can   use this link . Direct from my garden to your walls If you follow me on socials ( FB   and   Insta ), you may have seen the various groupings I've been doing with the abstract paintings this summer. I collect a handful of them and then play with various arrangements and overlaps on the studio floor. It's a fantastic way to reframe the designs and allow the paintings to have conversations with each other. I've also discovered that some of the paintings feel stronger when they are together. Not that th

  Citron, 18"x24", acrylic on flat panel, $1000 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Link to purchase is below. Another Dahlia inspired painting.

This dahlia will bloom year round for you!
