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.

Squeaker

Squeaker, a Florus Animalum painting

48" x 48 x 1/2"", acrylics on panel, starring a not-so-tiny mouse sprouting a mass of wildflowers. Squeaker is $4599 to the first asking nicely. Payment plans available. Inquiries may come to me. Please and thank you.
This little one has a huge personality. And probably every color in the world is tucked into his floral crown. What a focal point Squeaker will make......

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.

Thanks for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim

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!

Thanks for supporting my art,

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)

Thanks for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim

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!

Thanks for supporting my art,
Warmly, Kim

Petal, in process

IN PROCESS: "Petal," a Florus Animalum painting, 12" x 16", acrylics on panel, featuring a 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!

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

Mum Study


"Mum Study," 11" x 14", acrylics on panel, $99 + s&h to the first asking nicely. Inquiries may come to me.

More sketching going on today, playing with some new ideas, painting from life, and dancing at the easel.

Thanks for following along with my artwork,

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.

Thanks for following along with my artwork,
Kim
