Rework
Reworking three this next week.1 0f3. “Praying”
A few retouched
Slight retouch of this koi 48x48, added in more dimension and bright contrasts. I like to think the koi I lost last month are living inside this piece. #abstractart #abstractthought #koi #contemporaryart #modernart #art #decor #gallery #exhibitionseries #americanartist #japan #largeart
Added gold leaf to the outer edges
this is a new ballerina I started
Popped her kimono to a brighter green and pyrole red. Better call this was done ⛩ oh and three in a pic of my painting buddy. She loves her mama so much #artofinstagram #art #figurativeart #kimono #geisha #americanartist #painting #contemporaryart #kelliethomaswalker #modernart #gallery #interiordesign #artist #artwork #artwork #instaart
In order to provide our home with 6 of us more room, I’m going through old art I outgrew and am repurposing them. Below I’m working with gold leaf on three old ones
this one isn’t old, it’s for my niece’s Grad present
My 1st ballerina painting. I’m going to redo her. Make her better
“Reborn”
I think just a few more touches to soften and add dimension and then she’ll be done #geisha #art #painting #americanartist #contemporaryart #modernart #interiordesign #figurativeart #japan #kimono #kelliethomaswalker
Almost done with the rework of “Reborn”. Decided to go edgy.
Rework of old Geisha. I have to rework the face because I accidentally smudged it 🙄 #figurativeart #geisha #kimono #art #workinprogress #painting #modernart #contemporaryart #california #americanartist

Good days work.
Working all angles
It’s my birthday🤪 my husband fixed up my Koi pond and were going Koi shopping since my koi died with the pump malfunction. He bought a better pump, made me a little waterfall, added some succulents.
Very quick sketch on # 2. I ran out of black so my mom is running to get me some😘. Probably can’t see it (but I can) it’s a ballerina laying down legs stretched out, from neck down.
Going thru some emotions right now. Just saw pictures of the house I grew up in burned to the ground in the Carr fire, so I decided to re work an old one. Retitled it “Praying” 36x40
1st on Figurative Series
cleaned up get legs point shoes and background. Added in flective lines the. Some sheer paint for dimension. I always line up my painting with the grooves of the wood floor when doing lines. It’s so easy to go crooked on accident. I used my smudger for the lines and highlights on her legs with quick flicks of my wrist.
Figurative Series
I’m doing final work on muscle definition and her tutu. Point shoes are done. About to start a second piece of my figurative exhibition series. I will have prints available. Feel free to share #kelliethomaswalker #workinprogress #gallery #ballet #balletshoes #figurativeart #modernart #pointeshoes #ballerina #dancer
In attempting to occupy my mind while The Carr fire rips thru my hometown. I painted and made a cheesecake for my oldest 18th Bday.
found solid video that my childhood home has burned.
Prayers for Old Shasta
Please pray for the residents of Old Shasta. This is where I grew up. My father who I haven’t seen in twenty plus years still lives there in the House I grew up.
Starting muscle definition
tutu layout, lining the point shoes, and starting her legs
