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
