Paintings With Soul

I've been working on cow paintings this last week. The ones above have just returned from their travels to New York.  Clockwise from left:  Dude, 9x12, $469, Girlie, 10x10, $499, and One+One, 8x8, $399. S&H additional, each painting is an original acrylic on museum quality panel. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases. I accept personal checks, paypal and payment plans. Inquiries may come  to me . There's a couple newer ones on my Facebook page - 16x20 canvases - up for grabs. Alfalfa and Bangs.   Reach out to me   if you are interested in either - they are specially priced at $599 each. Thanks, as always, for supporting my art, Kim   

(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   

"Maude," 30" x 30" x 1-3/4", acrylics on cradeled panel with the image wrapped around the edges. This painting was a commission, and I cannot wait to see Maude installed in my collector's new kitchen!  Original art is the best way I know to brighten up and personalize any space. I would be happy to paint something custom for your home -please  email me  and we can begin discussing your project. Thanks for following along with my artwork, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com   

Now she's finished! "Girlie," 10" x 10", acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting a Hereford cow completely saturated with rainbow hues, $499 to the first one asking nicely. This includes s&h to a US address - message me for information. My new big panel for my new big painting arrives today - I'm eagerly awaiting the Fed X truck!! (so, too, is Finnigan)

IN PROCESS: "Girlie," 10" x 10", acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting an Hereford saturated with rainbow hues, $499 to the first one asking nicely. This includes s&h to a US address - email me . I am practicing bovines for a big project..... stay tuned! Thanks for following along with my artwork, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com   

"Dude," 9" x 12", acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting a delightful red and white cow (I am so not an expert on bovines - what breed cow is this?), $469 to the first one asking nicely. This includes s&h to a US address - email me . Today, Tulsa brought yoga with a lovely sunrise, inexplicably perfect macaroons and tea from Paris (in an Oklahoma based bakery), artisanal pizza served with Australian wine, some sort of street fighting that celebrates Cinco de Mayo, the Philbrook Museum (and a long overdue conversation with Bougereau, Sargeant and Henri), a lovely evening with a new friend enjoying her home and her fab art collection, both lunch and dinner al fresco, a gorgeous late afternoon stroll through an equally gorgeous historic neighborhood, loving on some most excellent dogs, a successful couple hours pushing paint, and cementing friendships with a few wonderful artists. In no particular order Have I said lately how much I love Tulsa...

         From June 2011, "Baby Moo," 5" square, Golden Open Acrylics on artists' Ampersand gessobord, depicting a young Holstein calf. This painting is available for $239 - inquiries may come  to me .   Taking a walk down memory lane today, remembering a end-of-school-year celebratory trip to a local diary for ice cream.  We took lots of farm pics, and I hurried home to paint this little gem.   What were you doing this time last year? Two years ago? longer?   Thanks for following along with my artwork, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com
