Peek and Boo ~~ Kimberly Kelly Santini

 
 
 

"Peek and Boo," 10" square, portrait of two paint mares, done in Golden Open Acrylics on a Raymar panel, $489 to the first one asking nicely. Polite inquiries may come to me.

 
I blocked this painting in a couple weeks ago, but then got sidetracked with some other commissions. I had wanted to finish the horses for an exhibition, but the deadline came and went and there just wasn't enough hours in the day. (That's the risk one takes when practicing only the best sort of procrastination.)

 
The painting got set aside until this morning when I re-discovered it inside my in-box. I have a number of canine sketches on the docket for this week, but I wanted to work on something rather challenging for today, and these two fit the bill.

 
And a challenge I got! 1/2 way through my painting session, I realized some major drawing issues, and had to resketch and re-paint the majority of the canvas. Oh, I hate it when that happens.

 
No amount of paint-pushing can ever fix a badly drawn composition. I've stopped trying to fool myself.

 
There's in process photos on the studio's facebook page - inside the Mobile Uploads folder.

 
Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my artwork,
Kim

It's happening on more and more blogs. Someone checks in, leaves an anonymous message, and then runs away.

 
Well, the running away doesn't really happen. But seriously that's what I visualize whenever I see an anonymous comment - the fact that the individual don't believe in themselves enough to sign a name undermines their message.

 
And at the same time they completely eliminate the possibility of any sort of dialogue.

 
Isn't that one of the best parts of the internet? the conversations that play out because idea sharing occurs over blurred geographic and cultural boundaries?
