New Reproductions

 

Pictured are the images I have just made available inside my print on demand shop. Questions? just reach out.

 

 

The studio has been open for 25 years - we all deserve a slice of cake to celebrate!! It's a milestone to have a small business for this long, even more so that very few artists are able to make a living from their work. It is such an honor to reach this milestone and I have heaps of gratitude for everyone who has made this happen. I feel like I am just getting started, too - there's so much more for me to paint still!

I have done a LOT of artwork during that time, particularly given that 19 of those years I have been a daily painter. That's a lot of paint, brushes and panels adding up.

It has been my policy that once an original sells I make it available inside my print on demand shop. A shop that I just updated this weekend with new images (you can see the new ones right here). Overall, I have nearly 600 images available, just waiting for you. 

These digital reproductions are priced a few dollars over cost. I don't make much money on them but that's not the point. The point is that they are there, affordably priced, because I believe we all should be able to live with the art we love no matter our budget.

So go shop - have fun - order one of your favorites, shoot, order a couple of them. Grab something for a friend. Update your cell phone case. Get a few notecards and go old school by writing a letter (the notecards are pretty enough to frame, just don't write on the back side of the front to preserve the image).

And thank you so so much for your interest in my artwork for all these years.
Now go have some cake!!
Love you, Kim.

Creativity documents our voices and builds community, something profoundly important right now. How can you help elevate and keep artists' voices alive? It's simple: 


Your support keeps the arts alive, which means future generations will understand our perspectives long after we are gone.

“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...
