Standing Tall
The black horse is a uniquely powerful amulet
The black horse is a uniquely powerful amulet. 24" x 20", acrylics on panel, sold (thank you!). Inquiries may come to me.
I was asked to paint a black horse, and somewhere along the way I was seduced by her magic. It's not the first time she's done this - Shadow was destined for another fate altogether when her current owner bought her from a kill pen.
And as often happens with rescued animals, they reciprocate by rescuing their new owners.

Unicorns are highly skilled at camoflauging themselves. That's why you have to search very hard to find them.

Princess Crabby Pants
"Princess Crabby Pants," another Bauble painting, 9" x 12" x 1/2", acrylics on gallery stretched canvas (painted around the sides, so she can hang directly without framing if you choose). Available to the first asking nicely, $289 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
She was grouchy from the get go. But absolutely darling, too.
Also, wanted to mention I have time to accept a couple of pet portrait commissions. Now is the perfect time to snag one for Mother's or Father's days, or even a graduation gift. Email me for details - and thanks!

Peony Diptych
"Peony Diptych," (2) 12" square gallery stretched canvases that overall create a 12" x 24" image. Done in acrylics and paint pen, featuring one of my favorite flowers, peonies. Available to the first asking nicely for $350.
I'm planning to study florals a bit more seriously in a series of smaller works. I'm paying greater attention to modeling and composition, among other things. Trying to think about the painting as an abstract object and not as a representation of flowers, if that makes any sense. And if not, that's ok, too, because you can simply enjoy the piece for the floral element!
Also, I made a number of new images available for prints and various reproductions - you can see them here.

Hyacinths
"Hyacinth," 16" x 20" acrylics on panel, available to the first asking nicely for a very affordable $200 (plus $20 s&h).
I couldn't resist these bulbs when I grocered this week. They are utterly charming in their little weathered bowl, and they smell so good. Or so I thought, until I moved them into the studio and put the spot light on them. The warmth from the bulb made them smell even better..... if that's possible!

Pink Peonies
"Pink Peonies," 16" x 20", acrylics on panel. This is a demo painting for the lesson I'll teach this weekend - my local library has invited me to share some spring inspiration with their patrons. If you recall, in the fall we painted sunflowers together, and this time around it will be peonies.
These peonies will bring a bit of spring to you, too - they are available to the first asking nicely for a very affordable $200 (SOLD - TY KL)

Leggy (the third time around)
"Leggy," 24" x 36" x 1", acrylics on cradeled panel with painted sides (no need to frame). Available to the first asking nicely, $1699 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
This particular painting has gone through several incarnations. Each time I tackle her, I bring several months of continued study and learning to the easel. And while I loved the previous versions, I am doing cartwheels over this one.
I always say, anything in my home/studio is fair game for a fresh coat of paint!
Yes, please share Leggy. Add beauty to the world!

Poppy
"Poppy," 36" x 48", from the Flores Animalum series of paintings, acrylics on panel, depicting a larger than life sized golden retriever crowned with a halo of bobbing poppies. Poppy is $3599 plus s&h. Payment plans available. Inquiries may come to me. The flowers represent the generous love and acceptance dogs give so freely. We could learn a lot from them. I started this painting last spring, then got too scared to finish it (yes, that happens to me too! far more often than I'd like to admit). It wasn't until yesterday morning, when I was actively avoiding cleaning off my desk, that she made it back onto my easel. And it's been a painting marathon ever since.

Stephen's Bouquet
"Stephen's Bouquet," 24" x 36", acrylics on panel, depicting a dark thoroughbred with a crown of blooms. This one is available via auction - but hold one - there's a story here - please keep reading. Stephen is 4. He is the nephew of a good friend. Last week, Stephen was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. His family has rallied around him, making the best of things in one of the darkest of times. I was asked to create a painting that could help raise money for Stephen's medical bills. I am honored to do so. Stephen has a dark Thoroughbred and the flowers crowning the horse were chosen to tell his story and send a message of love and support to his immediate circle. Aster - patience Chamomile - energy in adversity Cranberry - cure for heartache Edelweiss - noble courage Ginger - strength Pansy - think of me Peony - anger Primrose - childhood Sage - good health and long life Snowdrop - consolation and hope "Stephen's Bouquet" will be auctioned via DailyPaintworks.com. Every cent of the purchase price will go into his GoFundMe account, established to assist his family with medical costs, lost wages and other needs. For those wanting to donate directly in lieu of bidding, or to send prayers/karma/jujubes/warm thoughts, may you be rewarded 1000 times over. Thanks for following along with my artwork, Kim |
