Seguin Lighthouse

Original Mini Painting 4x6" Mat 

SOLD

Maine's second oldest and the tallest Lighthouse, and it is said to be haunted, yikes!

It's located on Seguin Island right off the Kennebeck River.

Well today's the last day of the 30 in 30 challenge! Ok, I'll admit it....I wasn't ready to do the challenge right after the holiday's but it's always a great way for me to re-focus on painting everyday.  I didn't complete one a day like in the past challenges - but I came pretty close. I'll be posting a collage of them tomorrow. 

 I've been holding a number of workshops and classes and getting ready to re-stock my prints and card orders for retailers, so I'm feeling really accomplished, plus I had a terrific sales month.

Can't wait to do it again in September!

Today I'm working again with Alcohol Inks and if you scan down through my Facebook post's you will see that I'm a big fan of dragonflies and I paint them A LOT!

Speaking of which...if you are on facebook - please head over and "LIKE" my Kellie Lynn Art page - you'll be added to my monthly drawings! I'm also on Google+, Twitter, and Linked-In!

This may be in-appropriate, but I just had to share. This summer we stayed at a lake house and I captured these two dragonflies in the act! Found it amazing to see that while they are "Doing it" they make a heart. Awe...right!

January 2014 "30 Day Painting Challenge Collage"

Put together a collage of the paintings over the past 30 days. Have to say it's been really fun working with the Alcohol Inks on Yupo, I've been really happy with the progress from abstract to detailing a little more. 

Once again I really enjoyed the challenge! It's been great having so many folks following along and making comments! Funny, just when I thought I had run out of creative steam you all would send me a sweet note or make a comment that recharged and motivated me, thank you!

A number of clients have been inquiring about prints, so here is my thought, I'll be taking RAW form photo's of all the original 30 Day painting favorites, not every piece will be available for prints, just  ones with the most likes from you Facebook Fans!  

My plan will be to put the high quality images up in my Print Gallery as well as having cards made up. So make sure to look and "LIKE" your favorites on the Kellie Lynn Art Facebook Page! XOXO

I'm off to get back to work on my clients Dog portrait! It's a gift, so no progress reports I'm afraid. 


                   It is amazing what one can accomplish when doing it every day!

SOLD - Day 24 "Renewal" Peacock

"RENEWAL"

SOLD
Prints are available HERE

I tried for a more realistic looking Peacock this time! I really like how this one turned out. Somehow I  managed to keep my style a little loose but with some details in the face.

This time I used a pencil instead of an ink pen to draw  out the basic shape of the peacock bird. I learned on my last piece that the pen ink will run when the alcohol touches it....should have seen that one coming!

You may also be wondering what all the paint dots are underneath the bird. I made myself a ink chart. This is a great way to help determine your color choices! I can see them laid out in front of me before I drop them onto the Yupo paper. 

The colors are not exactly as they are on the labels. Well, they may have started that way but inks are messy and before long most of the labels are covered with ink making it hard to tell! Before I would pick up any old blue and go with it!

I started out by painting the background first, then added the layers of color over once it dried.

I'm still planning on doing a video demo in February....so if you have never tried AI you can see a few tips that I've learned from trial and error.

Stop on over to my Kellie Lynn Art Facebook Fan Page - would love to have you as a FAN!

Day 4 of the 30 day painting challenge!



Love trying new looks/ techniques and such so figured I would just continue to play with the colors! Looks a little like I've painted with acrylic or oil! This one is quite a heavy paint for watercolors and not my normal style but it was a blast just having fun with it. Really digging this whole 30 day challenge thing, thanks again to Leslie for changing my thinking! Letting go and having fun - who knew.Of course each day before I start, I'm nervous about what I'm going to have to post! We all know that not all our paintings turn out perfect! Well, I should speak for myself.....at least mine don't....that is  until I've played and tweaked them for sometimes like (FOREVER)!

Day 3/30 "FRIENDS" Red Cardinal Birds - SOLD

"FRIENDS" 

 5x7" Watercolor/Gouache

SOLD

Day 3 of the 30 day painting challenge!

I knew today's painting would be quick because after being stuck sick in the house for what seems like forever....I had a ton of errands to run!

So this morning while I was sipping my hazelnut coffee and checking facebook on my new Christmas present (google nexus) I was thinking about what today's painting would be. Lucky for me, while looking up to glance out the window, my eyes wondered to the little tree in the corner of the yard. They were so still, but you could see the magnificent tones of bright red.  Love it when my little red cardinal friends stop by on a cold winter day in Maine. Thanks for sticking around to let me paint you today!
