Acrylic on approx. 8x11 gessoed watercolor paper.This great lady saw it all come down on that dreadful morning of September 11, 2001.
The purest of blue Autumn skies was turned gray with smoke and red with flames.
The terrorists laughed and applauded while America cried.
America changed forever.
Now we are told to leave out the first responders...and to leave out prayer and mentions of God at the 10th year memorial gathering.
You all must do what is in your hearts.
I must do what is in mine...I shall remember....who the heroes were....who the villains are...and who our Holy Savior is.

Dragon Slayers II, A Lesson Painting, Part II ~~ by Kimberly Kelly Santini
If you are joining us in progress, here's yesterday's post to get you up to speed. And what I should have done yesterday which I totally neglected to do was give a shout out of tremendous thanks to fellow artist and friend Julie Bender for sharing her Vizsla puppies with us. Please forgive me, Julie!  You'll see that the changes in today's steps are a little less dramatic - that's because I am making smaller marks and adjustments, given the bulk of the work has already been done. I'm also using glazes (layers of translucent paint) to soften or brighten my values and edges. Oddly enough, though, this stage involves more care and consideration, and thusly more time, than what I established yesterday.  I love the final, final bits, when I get to add dashes of unexpected color here and there. And suggest a few whiskers. This is it, all done!  Detail of "Dragon Slayers II," 10" square, Golden Open Acrylics on a Raymar panel, the second painting in my series of ever-so-brave Dragon Slayers. This painting is $489 - inquiries may come to me. Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family. Enjoy the weekend!!

Dragon Slayers II, A Lesson Painting, Part I ~~ by Kimberly Kelly Santini
To combat the gray and gloom outside my window (and literally in the news and everywhere I seem to go), I decided today's painting had to be lighthearted and fun.
Here's the beginning of the second painting in my Dragon Slayers series. This one is a 10" square Raymar panel.
I started with a rough outline of my subject, as I was making some shifts from the original reference photo and wanted to make certain the square format was going to work. (Yes, I could have done a thumbnail sketch and prepared more conventionally for this, but I was too anxious to get to work) After sketching, I laid down a bold wash, using warm colors for the foreground and my subject, and a cooler green at the top to help my background fade into the distance.
Grabbing a wide flat brush, I started roughing in my focal point, working from it outwards. I'm not focusing on anything other than defining values and starting to carve form. My marks are sloppy and my color is not nearly precise. I work quickly because the majority of these marks will ultimately be covered with other layers, so I am not going to stress or slave over them quite yet.
(Nope, it's not your eyes - my pic is blurry - sorry!)
Once I covered the majority of the canvas with a layer of marks, I went back in and redrew the faces very carefully. Now I am paying better attention to form, relationships, and color. And making sure I leave plenty of strategically placed "peek a boo pockets" - those bits of boldly colored underpainting.
Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family,
Kim

Carol Marine Many of you will recognize Carol's name, as she is one of my long time daily painting mentors. A fabulously talented artist and equally gifted instructor, she and her husband David have never been less than exhorbitantly generous with their support of the art community. So it was with great sadness that I learned her home - and studio - burned to the ground over the weekend. It was just one house of hundreds that have burned - and are burning still - as the wildfires rake their way across Texas. If you are so inclined, a fund has been set up for Carol and her family. There's also various organizations that are stepping up to help displaced families, and of course, animals, too. The flooding in the North East is heartbreaking, and there are hardships all around us - we need not look far. If you cannot give financial assistance or volunteer your time, please consider sending prayers and karma in their place. Compassion is always greatly appreciated. |

Daily Painting 1306 Twilight Forest gumbo limbos
I had no idea what to paint so I thinned my paints way down and made the background, letting the oil paints flow like water colors. I looked at the result and I could see the trees so I removed some paint and added more and started having fun. I think they look a lot like gumbo limbo or tourist trees. This wasn't planned it just happened that way. Do you know why the gumbo limbo is also called the tourist tree?
Its 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite, $100.

Today's Quotation: "Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."
I just completed this painting and it was still on my easel when I asked my daughter, Joy, if she would 'studio sit' for me that evening and greet visitors. While she was sitting in front of the canvas, she said she had a sense that the horse was behind her whispering in her ear....This is what she heard........I have recorded these words on the back of the original painting....
Never said goodbye
Till next time
Will miss you
Hush
I heard you

The Jubilee Carousel
  |
"The Jubilee Carousel," a 5-1/2 x 15 painting of carousel horses. This one is done in Golden Open Acrylics on an Ampersand Gessobord. It's available for $499 to the first one asking nicely - inquiries may come to me. At the Jubilee this last summer, I was SUPPOSED to be watching my daughter on stage, dancing. Which I did, so don't go getting all judgemental on me. But I also watched the carousel, which sat in my peripheral vision. And in between dance numbers, I wove a fabulous story about the ponies being undercover agents exposing a conspiracy involving genetically engineered carrots. And then the dancing was over and we had slurpees. Blue ones as I recall. But meanwhile, be grateful for those pony spies. Nothing gets past them.

To find out more about how to purchase this original art work, please click here.
Its finished! I learned a lot about working on this surface with colored pencil. Actually, I think clayboard is better suited to graphite than to colored pencil - but I am happy with the outcome.
It is a pretty vivid piece, and would look fantastic framed and hanging in a small space! I'd love to send it your way! Click the link above to find out how.
