Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 21 Lupines

Hoping to have my third online Watercolor course called Lupines up and running on Udemy! If all goes well, fingers crossed that it's published within a week or two!

My first course took 3 months, the second went much smoother and the third....well I'm happy to say... so far so good. I've even added more details than from my Live classes. The nice thing about online course's...you can stop, pause, and rewind. Plus it's a lifetime course, so that means take it as many times as you like!

After working 8 hours today on the painting, then some video, and audio editing I ran out of steam for painting another for painting tonight, so I'm counting my Online Course scene for today's.

Daily Airport Paintings - Portland International Jetport

Wells Beach, Maine 

Original Watercolor 8x10 Mat (available)

 I've been holding my Art shows at the Portland Jetport this summer every Sunday and Monday and it's been a great! I've had such wonderful feedback from folks being able to buy Made in Maine gifts right outside the DownEast Marketplace.

 Mohegan Island, Maine

Original Watercolor 8x10" Mat (Available)

Last summer I noticed that folks were really busy and there for weren't holding a lot of private painting classes so my plan was to paint like crazy on my off days at the Jetport. But for some reason (Due to the Paint Nites and Muse classes that it's sparked more business for me during the summer months) I ended up working 7 days a week in July! 

Sunset on Sebasco, Maine

Original Watercolor 8x10" Mat (Available)

In order to get my painting time in I've been doing a Daily Painting at the Jetport everyday I'm there during the slower time frames between the flights.

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer too!!!

Crafts Fair and Daily Paintings

Had a great week, somehow managed to fit in 3 craft fairs, finish my daily paintings, and work on some pet commission painting for the holiday! I have 2 down and 3 more to go!

 SOLD

This is my first chance to post on my blog for a few days, so here are my three paintings I missed for the holiday special.

 "Little Niagara Falls"

I don't think I'll attempt the daily paintings right before the holidays again next year...it's been a little overwhelming.

My dog portrait requests have taken off this year as well...I'm super happy about that. I really enjoy capturing our little family members. Currently I have 3 that I"m trying to finish before the holidays....they are gifts, so I'll have to post them at a later date.

"Reflections"

Thanks for the name Terry!

 

I'm off to paint some more~

HOLIDAY SPECIAL November 26th - December 20th!

Since the 30 day painting challenge in September a habit has sort of developed for me, painting everyday! Hmmm, wish I could do the same thing with exercising!

In any case....my mother and I may be crazy, but we decided to do it again...too soon you say, not sure, but we'll see! The holidays are just such a great time to give or receive a special one of a kind item. I know for me Art is so personal....it has depth and meaning behind it.

So from November 26th - December 20th, we'll be completing a 5x7 painting a day for the holidays! Each Daily watercolor painting will be priced at only $50 and will come with a FREE 8x10 Mat.

Each Daily painting will be posted first on Kellie Lynn Art Facebook.

If you have any idea's or something special you would like to see please send us an email!

Not sure if I'll have a theme.... but if you have followed my blog for a while...you know I don't tend to stick with one thing for very long.

My work will be available on Esty and HEADS UP....the Esty Maine Team is having their CASH MOB Sale  online Friday November 8th, 2013 if you want to get a head start on your HOLIDAY SHOPPING! I'm currently working on a coupon for the event so keep your eyes open for one! I'll post it here and on my facebook page!


Happy Painting,

Right Brain - Use your imagination in this fun watercolor style!

$60.00 + Shipping

Today's Daily Painting #44 (Year To Date 2013) was fun and unexpected. I was excited to video tape the progress and hope to put the video up once I get the editing done on it.
 
My first step was to use clear plastic wrap to create a fun and interesting design and then go from there.

It's never been a challenge for my brain to see something in the color patterns. You have to use your imagination or your right brain for this exercise. Look for a pattern in the colors. It may be difficult at first, but with practice you can get the hang of it.

I remember as a kid sitting down just starring at the wood panels on a wall.....if you looked at the knots in the pine you could see all kinds of interesting little things....eyes...creatures, fairy's....my imagination would go wild.

So try it out and use your favorite colors and see what you get. If you can't see anything...show a little one...they are really good at spotting things! Then start to paint them in.

"Sand Dollars" Daily Painting #34 2013 -SOLD

"SAND DOLLARS"

SOLD

Here we are in the middle of February and I'm currently on Daily Painting # 34 for the year!

Must be all the snow lately but I've been thinking of the warm days of summer, and I'm ready for it. Really, just another reason to love Maine, the four seasons! When you are ready for a change....all you have to do is wait a couple months and it's all brand new.

Hard to say what my favorite season really is. In the spring it's the fresh smell of the earth and the excitement of new flowers and trees budding.

In the summer, it's the warm breeze off the coast, the sandy beaches, collecting sand dollars and sun kissed faces.

Fall, well how can you not love the gorgeous colors of the autumn leaves and the morning chill, pumpkins, and apple picking!

But here we are in the winter...snuggled up in our homes hibernating with home made soups and the warm fireplace watching the snow covering the earth like sparkling diamonds. 

I guess I just can't pick one. What's your favorite?

Happy Painting,
~Kellie

Watch My New Video - Daily Painting - "Through The Blizzard"

  "Through The Blizzard"

11x14 Watercolor/Gouache

I think I may try this Abstract Mood Painting style as a daily warm up each day....it's a nice way to work with the colors and see what I'm feeling for the day and best of all (think I said this yesterday) it's my FAVORITE type of painting.

We've had a lot of snow lately - well, the biggest Blizzard ("NEMO") on record actually! This one reminds me of what snow would look like in color!

Oh, and I just added a cool link to my Kellie Lynn Art Channel on the blog (see it over on the right hand side of the page?)!!

30 Day Challenge Photos

 

Here are 25 of my 30 days - for some reason I couldn't get them all in on the create your own image on PicMonkey this morning...maybe too many artists are doing the same thing :)

Hope you all are having a super Friday - I am wondering how many artists have taken the day off from painting? 

DAY 30 - LAST DAY OF CHALLENGE - "Winter Glow"

 

 "Winter Glow"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache

Holy Cow...I did it! Day 30/30 of our Daily Painting Challenge.

This challenge was cray fun for me. I had a blast even though painting daily was hard. I realized that not every painting has to be perfect. It was about the process of painting and letting go of the perfectionist in me! One of my biggest problems this month was coming up with my subject matter, although I did manage to step out of my box here and there! Some of my favorite paintings consisted of the close up view points. They always seemed to be food based for some reason. Maybe it's the post holiday diet mindset - if I eat only a portion..it's not so bad for me! So therefore my thinking is... if I only paint a portion - it can't be that bad....hmm.

Happy to say that during this process I manged to paint my all time favorite painting, so that is super exciting! Drum role...it was the Blue Lobster, and it also happens to be one of my largest paintings to date. Also, my Lobster prints are now available on eBay. My plan is to continue on this route now that the challenge is over. I'm looking forward to painting  more detailed larger painting instead of sticking to my normal 5x7.  You know what this means....you may not see a post for a while.  

Another note....not only have I painted everyday - I managed to Blog everyday the past 30 days too! I think that was a bigger challenge for me than the painting itself. Said this before but I am NOT a writer. Posting a picture is great...but finding my words, well, not so much. My husband is a Senior online Marketing Manager and he is always telling me I need to write more in order for the search engines to find me. So I have added this to my goals for this year. Note to self...try not to ramble too much.

The traffic as been incredible this month - I have over 8,000 visits to my blog now. Many of the new followers are fellow (very talented) artists! It was so nice to chat with so many you this month and hope to continue. Some mind blowing work from these 250 artist that took the challenge along with me!

Big thanks to Leslie Saeta for putting this all together, and if you have the chance please check out the other artists fabulous work! 

So happy to have you follow me here!

Daily Painting 24 "LOBSTERMAN'S BEST FRIEND"

"Lobsterman's Best Friend"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache/Ink

Day 24/30 of our Daily Painting Challenge.

A friend of mine posted this adorable picture of her yellow lab, Finn on facebook the other day and I just had to paint him! I should have asked permission first,  but I just couldn't help myself! I sent her a note this morning asking if I could post it, and lucky for me she said yes! (Phew)

I thought it was such a classic Maine sight....a lobsterman with his best friend....heading out to set traps for the day. According to Jodi, Finn was patiently waiting to go!

Special  thanks to Jodi Galvin for the reference photo!

Slice of Blueberry Heaven - Day 23 Daily Painting

  "Slice of Blueberry Heaven"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache/Ink

Day 23/30 of our Daily Painting Challenge.


Today was a crazy day! I had a workshop today and got home in the afternoon in 11 degree weather only to find I was locked out of my house. Some how my lock on my door seized up and the key wouldn't go in! So after 15 minutes of trying and freezing my buttocks off.....I ran down to the neighbors. Finally got in long story short.....but didn't get a chance to start my daily painting until this evening and I had no idea what I was going to do. Well, food always seems to work for me - I found a neat picture of a slice of blueberry pie and cropped it!  Just finished it and now I'm off to watch American Idol! Have a great evening everyone, and if your are in Maine or New England...stay warm!

"Little Cupcake"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache 

Day 18/30 of our Painting Challenge.

Daily Painting.  #18 "Little Cupcake" Talk about a tasty food - cupcakes are one of my favorites! Mini little cakes are a piece of heaven aren't they? I mean, who doesn't like a cupcake? For my dear friends Birthday this year I made these delicious Banana Split Cupcakes, with butter cream frosting and topped with lots of goodies.  Lucky for me I snapped a picture for her to post on facebook before we ate them all. Seems like a theme here....I am always eating my painting objects, hmmm.

What a cute little painting this would make for Valentines Day!

VITAMIN "C" FIX - Daily Painting #17

 

"VITAMIN "C" FIX"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache 

Day 17/30 of our Painting Challenge.

After spending so much time on the Blue Lobster this week I'm having a hard time squeezing in my daily painting. I didn't have to go far this morning for my inspiration though...it was sitting on my kitchen table. I thought this would be a great warm up for the day along with my Daily vitamin C fix!

I have painted a lot of fruit, but found this orange to be some what of a challenge for me.  To get the texture or denting in the peel was a hard feat to achieve and I am not quite sure that I completely grasped it. I have been staring at it for a while now and going to let it goes as is. I am happy with the shading and depth. Looks good enough to eat, and by the way....I did, again (Apple memories)!

I'll post the progress tomorrow - wish me luck. Hate dark circles under my eyes!
