"Emerge"

"Emerge" 

Alcohol Ink on Mineral Paper

Size: 9x12"

I am so excited to share that I just received confirmation that I have been chosen to SOLO Exhibit my work for the entire summer at The Footlights Theatre in Falmouth, Maine!
Special thanks to my dear friend and artist Bonnie for sending me the information. <3 font="">

Here's my note I just received: 


"Hello Kellie- Congratulations!

Well, with over 30 entries for consideration, we would love to have you "take over" the entire theatre lobby with your fabulous art work. When is the earliest you could hang your work? We have a show coming in on the 2nd of June for that weekend, then we resume our current show thru the 15th of June, followed by the opening of our summer show on the 27th of June thru August 31st. Plus we have a multitude of events throughout the summer." 

I'll be making a visit there next week to see the space and get things going. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to before I set up, so I've been painting all weekend long.  Just when you feel that you have enough art!

So I"m calling this one "emerged", as I have emerged from the Maine's winter snow and ice into spring! The trees are blooming, the birds are singing, and my bird feeder is full with many new visitor.  Let the painting and preparations begin!
Since they would like colors - as it is a theater, I"m opening up my abstract side. I'll be showing some of my newest resin pieces as well as the alcohol Inks. I'll be ordering the Larger Art Resin today in hopes to get it soon as I'll be using up my new gallon jug!  

I will be scheduling an Artist reception soon and I'm looking forward to seeing so many folks that have been in hibernation. We are like little bears here in Maine. 

For the painting above I used a white gel pen and an air compressor. You can find out more information about the compressor on my past blog post.

New Short Demo Video on my New Air Brush on Tiles!

Here is the information on the Air Brush - It's very inexpensive and I am using it to Blow air only, and that seems to work great - can't comment on how great it works with paints.

If you have been watching my Facebook page or my Instagram page last week, you know that I'm very excited about my new purchase of a Masters Air Brush.

 In this quick 5 min youtube video I demo a little blimp using alcohol Ink on a tile. I use the compressor to blow the inks making a neat looking flower-ish image.

New Course In the Works!

I'll be working on a new online course for something similar to this one using Alcohol Inks and layers of Resin to create this piece on a liquid art panel. The process creates a lot of depth in the painting, almost a 3D image look that I'm in love with and hope to share real soon with you!

Who loves you more than Mom? She has deep roots and a love that blooms!

Just got back from Florida where I got to enjoy some quality time with my wonderfully talented artist Mom, and was able to show her how to paint a tree using the alcohol inks.

 

We didn't paint all the time....there was a lot of gorgeous sunrises, red moons (incredible) and we were right on Floridian Beach! The crashing waves lulled me to sleep every night.

I miss my Mom and Dad already!

 

 

BUT....When I got home I was really excited to see my package from JoAnns! 66 new gorgeous colors of inks!
