Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 28

"Nature Walk"

11x14 Watercolor in 16x20" Mat

$200

Really enjoyed painting my mini painting late last night so I wanted to re-create something a little similar but with a few more details in a larger painting. 

Here's a picture of the mini and the 16x20 Matted one from today.

Now it's time to part up all my supplies for tonight's Ink Workshop that I"ll be teaching at Joanns in Topsham, Maine tonight from 6-8pm. Fingers crossed that everyone makes it....some are still digging out from the Blizzard of 2015!

Personal Goals 2015

Looking back on 2014, it was an amazing year! I pulled together a little video of just a few of my favorite pieces that sold this past year. I am excited to share it was my best year for sales, marketing and growth as an artist.

I really pushed myself to step out of my comfort zone and managed to get into local shops and venues with my original work as well as learning photoshop which allowed me to add prints and cards. I found myself working in some new mediums and learned to experiment without fear of making a mistake.

One of my favorite things about 2014 was teaching classes in new venues such as Adult Education, Joanns, Craftmaina, and the Seadog! Sharing what I do and seeing others learn and grow is very special to me. I think the arts are a very important part of our lives and as we grow up from childhood a lot of folks loose that experience. We all live in a very busy world full of "have too's". I think more of us should take a little time for ourselves and get creative. You would be a better person for it! I don't know how many times I've had people tell me that during my classes for those 2 hours, they  thought about nothing but the painting! They relaxed and enjoyed some "ME" time.  It's good for the soul!
 
I'm tossing it out there for all to see.....My goals for 2015 - A smart man told me that I should write them down (thanks honey) - so here it goes! I'll shoot for 10!

1. As a self taught artist I've been talking about taking some art classes. I would love to travel and take a class from an artist that I admire!

2. Continue to get healthier and make sure to take care of myself.

3. Focus on organizing my art in our small family space.

4. Take time to read at least a book a month.

5. Continue to follow a budget and use more coupons.

6. Develop more relationships with small businesses and add at least 3 more venues this year for my art.

7. Would like to complete at least 4 videos, either demo's or "how to video's".

8. Go plein air painting at least 5 times.


9. Continue focus on doing more larger scaled paintings.

10. Work with my husband Larry and get a website up and running were I can organize my works
and have a "go to place" for everything including classes and available art.


Happy Painting~ Kellie

Day 23 - THE MOM TREE

"The Mom Tree"

Click Here For Purchase Information

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! 

They are currently on sale for 50% off FYI! :)
