Isis

 

Isis

 

24"x36", acrylic on cradled panel (no pressing need to frame), private collection (thank you so much to my returning collector!). Click on the image or here to be transported to my website where you can view the painting in a room setting and zoom in up close to the image. Questions? just reach out.


Domestic cats have been showing up  everywhere for me lately, and while I don't often paint their larger cousins, I was pulled to do so this week, so that's what I've been doing - Plenty from a few days back, now Isis, and I have a couple other ideas but am not quite sure how to even start them yet, so they are going to simmer for a bit.

That's one of the most challenging parts of my job, harboring patience while an idea solidifies. I tend to want to jump in and chase the adrenaline rush of the unknown. But I've learned to temper it just a bit - enough so that I'm not entirely blind to what I'm signing up for, with enough left undefined that there surely will be an adventure ahead.

Which I guess means I'm looking at an afternoon of computer work, which I've been putting off for weeks because my muse has been calling so loudly and insistently. Unless I could try one little thing first, since my palette is already set up.......


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...
