Paintings With Soul

           "The Shibas," 6" x 10", commissioned double portrait of Shiba Inus done in Golden Open Acrylics on a Raymar panel. This painting is not for sale, but I would be more than happy to discuss creating something equally spectacular for you - email me.   "The Shibas" are a wedding gift - and who do you think will be the absolute favoritest guest at the reception? and for all eternity?   Portraits make for fabulous gift giving, and if you can't fathom sneaking around and collecting the necessary photos so that I can actually paint the portrait, just leave the research to the recipient. You and I will put together a killer gift certificate (killer sample pictured below).   Then you get to sit back and enjoy the perks of being at the top of your friends' A List.    Thanks so much for looking at - and sharing - my artwork with your friends and family, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com      

"Sienna Maisy," 4" x 6", Shiba Inu pet portrait in acrylic on canvasboard. I believe this one is sold, but haven't yet heard back from Sienna's person. I will hold it for her, but in case she opts to pass, inquiries may come to ksantinI@turtledovedesigns.com . The glazes in this painting are very subtle and soothing, layered together, in pale apricots and light blues. I especially like Sienna's stray eyebrow lashes that hang enticingly across her eyes - they really add personality to her infectious grin. I can't help it - this painting makes me smile right back, as though Sienna was right here in front of me. Thanks, as always, for looking. And for sharing these paintings with friends and family.
