Paintings With Soul

I made a conscious effort to be more present this holiday season, and that meant spending a good amount of the days mostly unplugged. At first that was difficult - I missed all of you! But I wanted to be fully engaged with family and friends this year and completely focus on closing 2016 firmly shut. And then this most wonderful side effect happened - I started to hear myself think again, in that madcap fast forward crazy ADHD way, and all the various ideas bumping around inside my brain had free rein to bounce off each other and morph into new things entirely. How wonderful is that!? So I'm back in the studio today very briefly, doing my first of 30 Paintings in 30 Days, before returning to the couch for some knitting and down time. Scroll down to see what I salvaged from our breakfast this morning.....  Thanks, as always, for supporting my dream, Warmly, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com    "Berry," 6" square, acryli...

(previous working title "Mable") "Beryl," 30" x 30" x 1-1/2" museum quality cradled panel, starring a gentle cow and her wreath of blackberries. The image is entirely painted/wrapped around the edges, so there is no need to frame - she is ready to hang! And what a focal point she will be in your room, too! Beryl is available for purchase (I accept credit cards and can structure a payment plan - just ask!) - she's $3299 which includes complimentary shipping and handling inside the US. Inquiries may always come  to me . I started this one last month and have been picking away at her slowly, waiting for my blackberries to come in so that I could paint those from life. Which they have, and I did, and now she's done!! Wishing you all a glorious holiday weekend (clearly, I was so eager to start mine that I neglected to post this prior!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!), Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com
