Trillium

 

18”x24”, acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas (with image painted around the 1” profile so no pressing need to frame), $1400 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. View her in a room setting, get your nose right up into her business, or make her your own right here. Trillium is available to ship late December. Payment plans available on request - 30% non refundable deposit reserves the painting, with 6 months to pay off the balance plus s&h. Questions can always come my way.

make her yours

I thought she was done the week before Christmas, when our heavy blanket of snow from the prior two weeks was melting. Temperatures shifted to the 40s, with rain predicted. While I knew it wasn’t a true end-of-winter melt, spring couldn’t help but creep her way to the easel. I am a rabid optimist after all.

However, I got my due. Today I added a bit more magic to her along with my signature, all while blizzard conditions raged outside. Which makes her all the more glorious - soft, summer night skies sprinkled with dancing pansies and trillium. A stark contrast to the drifting snow and wind battered bare trees.

What will show up on the easel tomorrow? will it be more spring, or something a bit more seasonal? I guess we shall have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, thank you so much for your interest in and support of 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...
