NEW CURATED COLLECTION Skylight and Porch Pot

 

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 always have work rotating through), when I intentionally group pieces together assemblage style, or just organically as they are laid out/propped to dry. I was today years old when I realized that you might appreciate the opportunity to acquire multiple pieces, too, and enjoy the same sort of give and take in your own home that I get to experience in the studio.

So I'm going to make it a habit of offering groupings - with special pricing - to you as a way to let some of this exciting dynamic out into the world.  Collections will be available for a limited time, which I'll spell out in each newsletter. If they have not sold as a grouping during that time frame, I will then offer the paintings separate from each other.

I feel like I need to mention that each of these pieces I offer are pretty extraordinary on their own. It's when they sit with a fellow piece and become elevated, that's my motivation to group work together.

If you only have room for part of a grouping, shoot me a message and I'll get you on the list to purchase that piece when/if it becomes available on it's own.

And I suppose conversely, if you are wanting to group pieces yourself, shoot me the titles and I'll put together collection pricing.

You can see Skylilght and Porch Pot in greater detail here, view up close and in a room setting, and find 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.

This curated collection will remain available until September 17th, after which I will allow the individual pieces to go out. Like I mentioned above, please let me know if you want just one and I'll keep you in the loop, k?

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

“Katie’s Moustache,” 6x12, pet portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, $90. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . One glimpse of Katie’s face, and I was hooked. Not only did she fall into my beloved “black & white” category, but she came with a full moustache and doe-like eyes. I first covered the canvas with a variety of blues and purples, using a (mixed) light green and pink for the highlights. (Right now my palette has been expanded to include the following: pthalo blue red, azurite hue, cad red dark, alizarine crimson, cad yellow dark, and then for graying/hazing out I use light green yellow and ultramarine purple.) I lighten with titanium white and darken with one of the blues and a touch of one of the reds. As a side note, at this time last year I was really struggling with my limited palette (I went from about 60 pots of paint to 3), but I have lived the benefits – I am so much more familiar with what I can mix given just this handful of colors. My paintings are also m...

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...

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...
