My first art show

SOLD!

Hello,

I'm giving a bit shout out and thank you to all my friends, colleagues and the general public who came to look at my art @ the Sportsplex. I made only one sale but I kept a guestbook and had some positive feedback. I was told my art is very ecletic. It was also great to see so many different artistic styles and to talk to other artists about their painting methods.
Please keep posted... I will be updating my gallerywith all the work from the sale.

Cheers,

Karen

Preview of Nov. Art sale @ Nepean Sportsplex

I've been working too much recently and haven't been drawing/painting as furiously. My new mat cutter is amazing, and my hand is getting steadier after ruining a few mats. It's been nice to finally mat watercolours that have been sitting in a plastic bag neglected for years.

Where: Nepean Sportsplex
When: Saturday, Nov. 25 @ 11 am-6pm
Sunday, Nov. 26 @ 10 am-5 pm
What: Paintings (watercolour, acrylic), sketches, digital imagery posters

Please come out if you know me or see a painting you like on here.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre.

Thanks!

New art

I haven't updated in a while. I'm preparing for an art show/sale, and finally painted a watercolour after probably a 10 year drought. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Watercolour is a medium where you have to be fearless with your first touch.
ArtSpace gallery is at http://public.fotki.com/visualkin/art_gallery/ (please don't steal images).

Cheers... KC

Thanks so much for all your support

Thank you so much to all my friends, colleagues and total strangers for all the support and the positive feedback. It really means a lot to me. It's always hard starting out: I made my first sale through this site, and I am encouraged to have a springboard for my name/art. Please feel free to leave me a message--especially if you've bought a piece from me.

I look forward to hearing from you and am very excited about the opportunities that will come my way.

Biggest painting ever!

I just started painting the biggest painting ever! How big you ask? Well, the canvas was so big it didn't fit in the trunk of my poor Sentra. How did I get it home? A random painter between jobs stuffed it in his Ford truck! It was too funny. I'm painting a 36 x 60" picture of a VW Golf: it will have an almost cartoon like, Japanese art inspired background that has a somewhat skewed perspective. What I love about acrylic is how fast it dries, and its transparency like watercolour and its ability to be similar to oil paints in texture.
Here's the photo I'm working from.

Starting out

So here I am starting out--looking for ideas, welcoming commissions and the opportunity to meet creative, interesting people or just people in general. Art can be beautiful or butt ugly to different people; it's all in the eye of the beholder. It can mean different things to different people.

I just want to develop a side of me that's been neglected for my 4 years of studying kinesiology at UW. Science is great but...

Photo of the Day: Movement

Cool photo showing the body in movement.

Paintings galore

Peggy's Cove in Technicolour

More acylic art

Some of these paintings will be for sale in the near future. I mostly paint in acrylic but did do a lot of watercolour. It is always hard to part with art, because I feel like I'm selling something personal.
I welcome any critics or fans :) ...positive or negative comments.
