Painting a Dog a Day - Thursday, October 23rd

[Kim Santini]

"Harry," 5" x 7", commissioned mixed breed pet portrait, acrylic on board, private collection (THANK YOU!). Inquiries may always come to ksan...@turtledovedesigns.com.

 

I wish you could all hold Harry's painting in your hands, and see the layers of paint. Lots of wet-on-wet and really fun brushwork - this painting was a party!

 

I am especially enjoying the very nice gray I can get with ultramarine and cad red light. One of those mixtures that shifts warm-cold easily, and seems especially reactive to it's surroundings.

 

I've been told my domain name (www.turtledovedesigns.com) will be mine again within 24 hours. It sure will be nice to ditch webmail and get a couple pages of data up on the web. Thanks again for your patience during this transition.

 

And thanks, as always, for your time in looking at and sharing these paintings with your friends and family.

And a huge happy birthday to my Evan, who turns 11 today!! WAHOO!!

See you tomorrow,

Kim

 

PS Yet again I will push the new book ("will she ever shut up over this?" most likely not for a while still!). Painting a Dog a Day - the First Year is available, and it is GORGEOUS!.
