Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

2017 has been full and a crazy exciting year!

Funny, when you look back at your year you realize all the accomplishments and goals that you met AND.... all of those that you have to add to your to do list for the next.

While I sit here with my glass of BOXED WINE,  (psst...I drank the good stuff on Wednesday as you may have seen on my instagram post) I ponder and take this moment to reflect.

I want to say how thankful I am for all of you that follow me and my passion and for the many of you that have taken my courses online, and locally. I am thankful for all of you that decided to purchase my prints and original art this year and for supporting my small business.

Many of you know that our family is completely debt free and we own our own home without a mortgage. We struggled and went without new cars, going out to dinner much or taking big vacations for a number of years to get here, but it was so worth it. The stress has melted away and my art has become my main source of income and now I can enjoy the creative process with out any worries.

I managed to reach my goal creating 12 courses this year, and it makes me so happy to see and hear that many of you are being creative and enjoying them!

Next year my focus will be on creating more courses, posting more tutorials on my Youtube Channel, and connecting with others and building a page that offers more creative ideas and items for you on my Facebook and Instagram page.

I know that TIME is the most important thing, along with my Family & Friends. They are what make my world go round. So, I"ll be giving them lots of hugs and taking time to enjoy them over the next few days and I hope you are able to enjoy yours!  BIG hugs to those that are missing someone this year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,
From my family to yours....we are wishing you all a Happy, Healthy, and Creative New Year.

~Kellie

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wonder - Gentle Caterpillar

Day 4 "Wonder"

Caterpillars usually signify a need for gentle and quiet approaches to our activities and endeavors. They can also signal a surprise or gift about to be offered to us, or that can be beneficial to our future if we take advantage of it. Caterpillars herald a time of good news, new birth, and creative inspiration, signaling a time to get ready to start a new project or initiate a new endeavors. -Andrews, T. (1999)

Pure Passion Of Color - Sunset

Has anyone really ever seen a sunset like this one?  The fun thing about my creative emotions with ink art, they are a pure passion of color. What do you feel when you look at this vibrant red and black sky?

For me it was warmth. It evokes a strong emotion of Love, after all Red is the color of passion! A passion for the holidays...my favorite time of year.

Playing with Acrylics today!

It's been years since acrylics have made an appearance on my easel.  My husband bought me an incredible Winsor Newton Artists Acrylic Bamboo Box Set, just because he loves me! It's been driving me crazy not to use them, so today I pulled the kit out!

Acrylics are a lot different than painting with watercolors and it's taking me a little bit to get the hang of it again, but having so much fun and making a big mess to boot!

Can't go wrong with a coastal Maine scene right?!

On another note.....Some of you may be aware of my business called PartyPainter. My mother and I created and developed back in 2007. We love our jobs and feel incredible to be able to share and create with others, it is just so rewarding. 

Anyways, A client friend sent me a note on facebook that made my day and I wanted to share it with you all. She said: "What you do is bring out the creative side of people, a side that some never knew they had and that, my friend..... is a great talent." How sweet is that, music to my ears!

Thanks and hope you all enjoy the day!
~Happy Painting,
