I'll need to sleep on it, but I do think she's done. 

I'm exhausted. Three marathon painting days. But that's sometimes how paintings are birthed.

Thanks, as always, for supporting my dream,

Warmly, Kim

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

Trouble, in process

IN PROCESS: "Trouble," 24" x 20", acrylics, charcoal and ink on panel, featuring a a kitten crowned with spray roses. On top of just being ridiculously juicy with color, this piece comes with a healthy does of personality. The painting is $599, with complimentary shipping inside the US, and will go to the first asking nicely. Inquiries may always come to me.

Warm thanks to Beth at Amazing Petals for helping me put together the perfect bouquet for this painting (and she thought brides were high maintenance!). The yellow pods (I forget what they are called) and the stabby greenery (knife something or other) were delightful to paint. And the soft greens in the spray roses..... they make me very happy.

I know this painting will do the same for a lucky collector, too.

Thanks for following along with my artwork,
