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

Maybelline Occasionally Over-Accessorizes

We all have friends like Maybelline, don't we? they just don't know when to stop......

Pinkie, Reworked
FINISHED: "Pinkie," from The Beribboned Series, 12" x 16", acrylics on panel. Available (when finished) to the first asking nicely, $579 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
Pinkie got a facelift, literally. I put all my references away, including the ribbon setup. I redrew her features from memory, then decided that she needed to be a lighter value than the ribbon. Then I adjusted the bow a bit, too, and tucked her ear behind, so it all perched perfectly on her head.
Because I was able to listen to the painting (instead of being married to my references and original concept), Pinkie's portrait turned out far nicer.

Minnie Loves Playing Dressup
"Minnie Loves Playing Dressup," (yes, that's a bit of glare on this one as it's a gray day and I'm working under studio lights), 16" x 20" x .75", acrylics on cradeled panel (and painted around the sides, so no need to frame!). $699 for this dear little mouse, including s&h inside the US. Inquiries to me, and thank you so much.
Minnie made me laugh all day long. She's got a great sense of humor.
She is also done overtop another piece that had lots of texture, which is delightfully showing through. Harlequin patterning and various scratched in lines/patterns.

Chickie
"Chickie," from The Beribboned Series, 16" x 20", acrylics on panel. Available to the first asking nicely, $649 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
Nobody paints chicks like Alecia Underhill. They are BIG and soft and full of yummy color. Here's a little print of one of my favs of hers, Grumpy Chick.
I gave my chick a good try, nonetheless, with her blessing. And I had a great time! You can bet there will be more of these.... it IS almost spring, after all!

Wilbur Embraces His Feminine Side
"Wilbur Embraces His Feminine Side," from The Beribboned Series, 18" x 24", acrylics on panel. Available to the first asking nicely, $799 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
That skinny bow nestled on top? it reminded me of a spider for some reason, hence the pig's name "Wilbur." Charlotte's Web was a favorite read when I was younger.

Violet
"Violet," 18" x 24", acrylics on panel, from the Beribboned series. Available to the first asking nicely, $799 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
The Princess's gentle lionhead bunny modeled for this painting. Everyone in our family, even the four legged members, has to earn their keep!

Eenie, Meenie, Minee, Bow
"Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Bow," roughly 18" x 18", acrylics on panel, from the Beribboned series. Available to the first asking nicely, $799 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
Special thanks to a super wonderful young lady for sharing pics of her wee one's with me - hope I did them justice Islay!! Thank you also to MR for the best title ever.
Also, SUPER excited because The Princess gets to tame and train a mouse in her zoology class this term. Which means OKeefe (the studio hamster) will have a friend!! So happy!! (it doesn't take much to make me happy these days!)

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!

Proud
"Proud," a Florus Animalum painting, 11" x 14", acrylics on panel. This piece is available for purchase to the first asking nicely, $599 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
This mare is strong, unapologetic, a force to be reckoned with. The tangle of roses on her back are thorny, yet bountiful with blooms. Read into it what you will, the overall composition is one of sheer delight and glorious color, and this painting will make an exceptional focal point in your space.
Yes, please share this image. Our world needs more beauty!

Petal
"Petal," a Florus Animalum painting, 12" x 16", acrylics on panel, featuring a tender mouse nestled in an abundance of peonies. This piece is available for purchase to the first asking nicely, $599 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much.
A difference in opinion does not mean one person is better or lesser than another. Nor is one right and the other wrong. Today is a struggle for many Americans who are afraid of the future. Be kind. Be gentle. Listen to hear, really hear their voices.
I am seeking understanding of how my country has become so divided. I am scared of what we are doing to each other, not just here in the States, but all over the world.
And in the midst of this turmoil, making art might seem trite. But it is what I do to find my own inner piece. To process events and emotions in a healthy manner. And to give others a small bit of beauty to add to their days.
This mouse in this painting is timid. Mice are timid. But, you see, there is an army of beauty at her back, visualized as peonies. She knows they are there to catch her should she need to retreat.
I define beauty as dignity, grace, moral character, joy and love. I am blessed to have just such an army in my circle.
Thanks for having my back, and, as always, for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim
OKeefe
"OKeefe," a Florus Animalum painting, 16" x 20", acrylics on panel, featuring a baby hamster crowned with peonies in a nod to her namesake Georgia OKeefe. This piece is available for purchase to the first asking nicely, $749 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much!
OKeefe is my new baby. Well, the inspiration behind the painting is my new baby, not the actual painting. Although artists often do refer to their paintings as babies....
Also, life drawing takes on an entirely new meaning when your model is rolling around the studio inside an exercise ball. OKeefe doesn't understand yet how to hold a pose.

Bijou, in process
IN PROCESS: "Bijou," 24" x 36", acrylics on gallery wrapped panel, available for purchase to the first asking nicely, $1299 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much!
Take a wilted armful of spray roses from the clearance bin, add a box of vintage crystal drops, throw in a couple thrift store pieces of costume jewelry, and you have my inspiration.
I'm working fast, because the roses are starting to tire. Sometimes speed painting turns out better because I'm not second guessing or overthinking everything.
Can you feel the magic already?
Thanks, as always, for supporting my dream,
Warmly, Kim
Midas, Finished
"Midas," 24" x 30", acrylics on panel, available for purchase to the first asking nicely, $899 (includes s&h inside the US). Thank you so much!
I should charge double for this one. Those ribbons took a damn eternity, so many repaints I lost count, and I'm freaking cross eyed from the stripes.
BUT - here's the thing - I stuck through it, asked myself why things weren't working, found the answers through trial and error, and made it work.
So yesterday's crappy paint day? No longer matters my friends!
Thanks, as always, for supporting my dream,
Warmly, Kim
Peppermint
"Peppermint," 16" x 20", acrylics on panel, featuring a lop eared rabbit crowned with a delightful candy cane striped bow. Many thanks to Cornelia K for allowing me to use her bunny as inspiration for this painting. Peppermint needs a home - she can be yours for $749 - the first asking nicely gets to adopt her! As always, inquiries may come to me.
Not much to do while the snow flies but sling paint. Who should I crown next? hmmmm......
Thanks, as always, for following my art,
Warmly, Kim
The Best Gift Ever
"The Best Gift Ever," 12" x 16", acrylics on museum quality panel, featuring an adorable and snuggly Golden Retriever puppy with a giant candy cane striped ribbon. This original painting is packed with texture and subtle color - it's truly a remarkable piece. And it can be yours for $629 - as always, inquiries may come to me.
Gotta give a shout out to Karen Appleton, who's painted presents I have always loved. I'm sure you will love her work too!
Thanks, as always, for following my art,
Warmly, Kim
