"Helper," 30" x 13", portrait of a Golden Retriever, done in acrylics on 1/2" birch hardwood, $899. I see some drawing corrections and a couple other tweaks to this one before I'm 110% happy with it. But he still needs a home for when I'm finished - email me for purchase details.
This is quite the diversion, painting directly on wood, but it's something I've been thinking about doing for a long time. I still have some kinks to work out - like being patient enough to sand the clear gesso down prior to painting - but I'll get there.
I'm very fond of the combination of wood grain and painterly brushwork. And the depth inside the snowy ground is wonderful fun to lose oneself in.
Loads of in process pics on Facebook.
Now who wants to add Helper to their collection?
I'm off to fire up the grill!!
Thanks so much,
Kim

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe suis très heureuse de vous retrouver après mon absence durant ce moi de mai...
Je suis heureuse aussi d'admirer cette dernière peinture. Un très joli rendu sur le bois. Je pensais que ce genre de support était difficile à travailler. Je vois que vous réussissez parfaitement bien.
Gros bisous à vous
Martine, oh no, this piece was VERY difficult to do - don't be fooled!! But the difficulties were worth it - and I am learning more so that next time I choose this substrate, I can manage the surface better so as to best support the level of detail I want!! Welcome home! :) Kim
