Intravenous

 

Intravenous


Intravenous, original acrylic on a handmade Bara Woodshaping cradled wood panel, sides painted (no pressing need to frame), 24”x30”x1-1/2”, $2000 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just reach out.


I was born with a seemingly absurd passion for animals, particularly horses. My parents had no interest in pets nor animals in general, so it wasn’t a learned behavior. Keep in mind, too, I grew up in a pre-internet world in a small town with very limited access to television, film and books (until I was of school age). I was left to my own imagination, and it was - has always been - filled with horses of all kinds and colors.


I am wired in this beautiful, fantastical way, to carry a deep love for horses. Over the years this love has grown to encompass the entirety of our natural world. My art has evolved to reflect this - animals as vessels holding landscape elements close to their core.


When this mare first showed up, I saw her as a portal into the deep woods. She beckoned me into their depths, reminding me of my early wanderings around our isolated neighborhood. And somehow along the way, the twining linework and leaf shapes inside the painting became a graceful network pulsing with life. It’s simultaneously complicated, chaotic and insanely beautiful.


I tucked (painted) a mourning dove feather into the left hand side of the painting (profile edge, so not pictured) as a prayer for peace. There’s also a lucky penny hidden inside the front of the painting.


Intravenous is my prayer for love, grace, peace, and a little bit of luck for our world.


You are invited to view Intravenous on my website, inside a room setting and up close, like nose to the panel up close. The link to purchase is also there. 


Let me know if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus shipping paid in full inside 12 months time). Repeat offenders, i.e. returning collectors, please use “COLLECTOR10” at checkout for 10% off the acquisition of original artwork.


Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork.

Love you, 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...
