New 40x30 B&W Male

I started a new 40x30 abstract male: grey scale with drastic black pallet knife. Isn’t knife an odd word? #kelliethomaswalker #male #malefigure #malefigurativepainting #malefiguresketch #abstractart #abstractpainting #figurativeart #figurativepaintings #figurativeabstract #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #art #artwork #artist #losangeles #longbeach #artcollector #artgallery #artstudio #writer #artoftheday

2 Figures

My oldest came home on leave, so I took some time off to spend time with my family. Beautiful sunshine today! Geometric add ins, detail work on the forms. #kelliethomaswalker #artist #writer #artwork #art #artstudio #figurativepainting #figurative #figurativeabstract #figurativeexpressionism #painting #artgallery #abtractart #artexhibition #femaleartist #maleform #femaleform #geometric #brushwork

Figurative

The art fair is known, and in two months (on my anniversary too). A question that I get asked often is do I use live models or specific people. I have countless reference photos and I do this rhing where I arrange a oerson in my head—kinda like I make a new human being. I study form constantly, so it’s easy for me to let it breath on its own when I paint. —-If I dont get the ne figuratives done, then I won’t submit. #malefigure #malefiguratives #malefigurativeabstract #figurativepainting #figurative #figurativepainters #abstractart #art #kelliethomaswalker #artfair #friezeartfair #friezeartfairlosangeles #artwork #artworld #artist #artcollector #painting #abstractfigurative #lineart #losangeles #longbeach #femaleartist

2nd Exhibition/Set Series

Loads of shaping/contouring to go, and detail work on the universe she is carrying at the end of the chain wrapped around her wrist. When I hear “That’s inappropriate”, to put it bluntly—it’s freaking art people. The human form moves and changes form by the minute, and trying to capture it is beautiful, and challenging. Churches around the world have ancient nude paintings, sculptures. So, I challenge those who say that nude art is inappropriate, to educate and CHANGE YOUR VIEW on how you see things. #changeyourview #figurativeart #kelliethomaswalker #figurativepainting #figurativeartist #figurativepainter #figurative #female #femaleform #form #Jumper #jumperbook #painter #artist #author #artinfilm #screenplay #astronomy #scifi #artstudio #artcollector #artgallery #brushwork #painting #fineart

The Only Way Out Is In

JUMPER isn’t in production, but I need to have art made ahead of time and be ready. “The Only Way Out Is In” she’s holding a sphere with a galaxy inside. Just started of course, but you get an idea. The galaxy sphere will take time😉 copyright 2022 #kelliethomaswalker #Jumper #jumperbook #author #painter #artist #writer #filmset #movieset #artinfilm #screeplay #figurativeart #figurativepainting #abstractart #scifi #scifibooks #scifimovie #scifiart #space #astronomy #galaxy #painting #artcollector #california #losangeles #longbeach #artstudio #femaleartist #manifest #womeninthearts

Pumice 48x48 Up Cycle

The medium on this painting that I used to exhibit is heavy, sharp (it’s pumice medium), and lall ovwr the whole 48x48, so I decided to go with a simplified colorful approach. #colorful #color #abstractart #abstractpainting #colortheory #textureart #painting #largescaleart #art #artcollector #kelliethomaswalker #california #longbeach #losangeles #artist #writer #modernart #artstudio #texture #femaleartist #contemporaryart #contemporary #interiordesign

Up Cycling

Abstraction with a sweet touch of heated tones. The painting underneath was part of my exhibition series from ten years ago. Some of my original oldies I’ll keep, and never retouch, but sometimes they irritate me because I have grown as a person. I think creative people are hard enough on themselves, so others should just back the BEEP off. BTW, Happy Thanksgiving. I’m thankful every day for my girls, thwur significant others, my husband, dogs, tenacious black cat, bunnies, (my koi, RIP), snd tge new friends yhat have come into our life the past few years. #kelliethomaswalker #artist #writer #grittyart #modernart #artstudio #texture #texture #painting #studio #femaleartist #author #art #artgallery #artexhibiton #abstractart #largeart #losangeles #longbeach #thanksgiving #palletknifepainting #expression #contemporaryart #female
