48x48, Adding in the blue tones and I grazed the texture with a hint of light grey to pop the texture. Sculpting her arm, hand and chest next. Then I’ll add subtle eerie highlights all over. This is 4ft
Adding dimension to an old 60x48 #contemporaryart #interiordesign #street #popart #modernart #gallery #art #koi #decor #kelliethomaswalker
I added in sheer violet. Heavy body paint ratio 1/2 paint to 1/2 Golden Gel medium. If you don’t have retarder you’re going to need to wet it down often as the gel dries fast I went around the Red and magenta borders with the violet to soften. Inner corner eye, bottom lip, outer rim of nostril, chin-then swipe down. Added violet around blooms. Over the whiteadded in water to my brush. Once I varnish it will really pop the colors #cherryblossom #cherrytree #geisha #modernart #art #painting #drawing #gallery #japan #americanartist #decor #interiordesign #arttutorial

finished 60x48 Koi pond/ work in progress Geometric
Good amount of work today on my 60x48 Koi Pond
Progression on the 60x48 koi pond. I’ve been studying the French Impressionist with my 13 yr old. This piece definitely has a Monet influence #art #painting#koi #koiart #interiordesign #artist
Working from the outside in, creating the water and subdued water lilies. The Koi will get details later.
Geometrics add in
Since my obsession with geometric linear art is overtaking me, I pulled one of my Geishas down to add in linear accents. Just started, more definition to come #geometric #lineart #geisha #modernart #interiordesign #asianart #painting #art #gallery

Off to their homes
Said goodbye to two of my paintings this past weekend. I love these pieces so it's was extremely hard.
Commission 36x36. Based on my 48x48. The collector loved the larger one but didn't have the space. Thick textures on the blooms
And these are my old yucky floors. My husband installed new ones. Now the kitchen is next.
Finished with a commission
Starting a new 48x36 blending portrait art, geometrics, and splatter
