Mum, Happy Mother's Day

Mum, a new selfie in celebration of Mother's Day
16" x 20", acrylics on panel, part of my ongoing series of self portraits. This one is not for sale - I'm going to will it to a kid with specific directions to hang above their eye level, so that I am always looking down at them, just like when they were all shorter than I...... Meanwhile, inquiries may come to me. Please and thank you.
Self portraits are a remarkable exercise. I've been practicing them at least monthly for nearly 2 years. They are an insightful exploration of mood, energy and outlook. Sometimes they aren't terribly flattering, but I'm not painting them to pretend I'm a supermodel. I'm painting them to become a better caretaker of myself.

Fiestaware

FINISHED: "Fiestaware," 24" x 30" acrylics on panel, featuring a mixed bouquet tucked into a turquoise Fiestaware pitcher. This one is available to the first asking nicely for $899, with one contingency.

I've been asked by my agent to create a few floral paintings for licensing consideration.  Which means that if she likes "Fiestaware" (or whichever of these floral pieces), I'll ship the artwork to her for a high resolution scan, after which the painting can be shipped to a new home. The scanning process should be completed by the end of March.

SOLD (TY!)

Thanks for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim

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!

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!

I'm thinking about softness with this one. A slightly out of focus, softly lit tendril of a dream.

Thanks, as always, for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim

Lush


"Lush," an original piece from the P(e)ony subgroup of the Florus Animalum series, 24" x 30", acrylics on panel, $699 + s&h to the first asking nicely. Inquiries may come to me.

SOLD (thank you!)

Forgive the glare here - Lush was photographed underneath the studio lights, as it's a rather gray day.

This piece started as a demonstration painting for a local art guild. True to form, I made plenty of mistakes while working on it with an audience. They were very gracious. Now I want to invite them over to my studio so that they can see the finished piece in all it's glory.

This is a special one!

Thanks for following along with my artwork,

The bulk of this painting was fueled by Halloween chocolate. Just trying to be honest.

Here's to a safe night for all!

Mari(gold)


FINISHED! "Mari(gold)," 24" x 30", acrylics on panel, depicting a golden retriever puppy sprouting a crown of marigolds - the flowers represent the years of beauty and joy a puppy brings to one's life, as well as the fragility of our time with each other. Mari's portrait is $699 plus s&h. Inquiries may come to me.

I would be remiss if I didn't properly thank Team Husar Photography for my photo reference. Knowing her love of goldens, I shared my concept of a Marigold Golden Retriever. She responded with a couple photos, of which Mari was based upon.

I have the best, most supportive team behind me!

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.

Sunflowers


"Sunflowers," 16" x 20", acrylics on panel, $199 plus s&h. Inquiries may come to me.

SOLD (THANK YOU!)

I taught an afternoon workshop at my local library on Saturday, and we painted bouquets of sunflowers. My students did a fantastic job painting the essence and energy of their flowers. Each piece carried it's own interpretation of their sunny faces and jumble of petals.

This is my demo piece, worked a bit further along today in my studio. I think it will be fantastic in a kitchen - or a powder room - or a foyer - or a guest bedroom........

I have been asked to do a repeat performance of this class in Montague, Michigan at Studio 2. Let me know if you are interested, and we'll get you on the class list!
