Paintings With Soul

  "Elder," 15"x30", acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, with the image painted around the sides, so no need to frame. This painting may be offered at a future date with a small collection of similar pieces.  Reach out   with any questions and thanks so much for your interest in my artwork. I have always been enamored with sky holes. You know, the little peeks of light that break into a tree's shape? Well after the last few paintings where I totally and completely lost myself in the making of the trees, I began to wonder if my love for sky holes was actually a love for the trees, the shapes that embraced and made the sky holes. The tree has to convincingly play supporting actor in order for those sky holes to shine. Thanks for taking the time to look at my work, With peace, Kim

In process, "Paisano," 16" x 16", acrylics on 2" cradled panel, depicting a foal emerging from the shadows, $849 to the first asking nicely. View In Process Photos I am rather protective of my creating time and hardly answer the phone during work days, let alone schedule field trips. But when  Laura Locke invited me yet again to spend a day working in her gorgeous studio, I couldn't pack my paints quickly enough.    We talked about work. And life. And our friend Margot whom we miss dearly. And I came home with a very happy heart. And a half decent painting started, too. THANK YOU, Laura. You are a beautiful friend. Thanks, as always, for following along with my artwork, Kim
