Pastel/charcoal 24x17. “I Watched You Disappear”. Disappear is a sad word, isn’t it? It means to vanish, poof! Gone. #sketch #figurativeart #figurativeartist #figurativesketch #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbook #author #artist #art #contemporaryart #drawing #fantasybooks #charcoaldrawing #disappear
blanked out her face, and started the re-paint. I kept her nose though. Also darkened her hair, and brought her skin back to grey like the sculpture. #repaint #paint #painting #brushwork #portraitart #figurativeart #artwork #artist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #artstudio #kelliethomaswalker #numperbook #author #fantasybooks #scifibooks #figurativeartist #gallery

“Right By You”
This is the true joy in life: being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, being a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

Jupiter & Saturn
Since I can remember I’ve been nuts about our universe. I’ve been studying it for fun my entire life. Last night we brought out our Celestron to check out Jupiter & Saturn. Jupiter will remain close until December. 2nd image I had to lighten, never use a flash when using a telescope or look at a bright phone. 2nd pic is my daughter Kam.
We were able to see Jupiter’s moons, and stripes, and Saturn’s rings and pastel color was brilliant. I messed around and spied the sky randomly while my husband picked up youngest up from a football game. We live in the suburbs, so visibility was poor. #telescope #astronomy #jupiter #saturn #celestron #skyguideapp #kelliethomaswalker

New Angel based on a Cemetery Sculpture in Italy
Started a 48”x36” angel based on a cemetery angel located in Italy. When I begin a figurative painting I always start with the eyes. It’s also another depiction of the painting that is mentioned in my book JUMPER.
Over the past year I’ve been studying sculpture to enhance my knowledge in painting and drawing. Cemetery sculptures have hypnotized me. To my knowledge America doesn’t have an extensive amount of cemetery sculpture art, however, I have read that New Orleans does. Feel free to PM me if you have any tips where I can study cemetery sculpture.
