“Beliel” 40x30

“The most important days are the day you were born, and the day you find out why. -Mark Twain (quoted in my novel “Jumper”). “Beliel” is finished and I began submitting her. 48”x30” Her wings are made of fiber paste mixed with liquid gold & paint. #jumperbook #jumper #kelliethomaswalker #angel #art #artwork #gold #artist #writer #fantasybook #amazonbooks #figurativeart #professionalartist #artgallery #painting #writer #arte #angelpainting #marktwain #findyourpurpose

Angel highlights & Koi Work

Final highlights in my cemetery angel based loosely on a sculpture in Italy. And koi work on a textured piece. My oldest left after ten days of leave with us. I miss her already. She’s being deployed in MAy. Painting helps me

Not miss her so much. #cemetaryangel #angel #angelartwork #angelpainting #painting #kelliethomaswalker #figurativeart #figurativeartist #brush #contemporaryart #fineart #artgallery #femaleartist #artstudio #artsy

Productivity! Whoohoo!

Wow. I’m finally feeling better. After a month! I worked on six today, I am SO exhausted. The paste on the koi needs to set before I paint it. My angels wings are getting there. Fiber paste with liquid gold in her wings. #artprocess #artist #professionalartist #gold #angelwings #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbook #author #modernart #contemporaryart #koi #koiart #angel #angelart #gallery #artworks #artstudio #illustration #drawing #sketch #femaleartist #abstractart #painting #creative #paintsculpting

Be meticulous.

Cleaning up lines. If there is any advice I can give to the up and coming generation of artists it is to take your art personal, trust your instincts; and for freak sake — shut out what the world is telling you to do with your work. If you want to make a difference, you have to be exactly that—different. I have kept my outside looking pretty normal, because in the inside I am pretty damn divergent. It’s fun for me to be standing among the crowd at a gallery and quietly listening to people discussing my work. On many occasion, patrons are surprised that I am the artist. Again….it’s entertaining to kick things up. So, get out there, and be different. Oh, and don’t forget to mediate daily! Calmness is mastery. #drawing #sketch #art #artwork #illustration #kelliethomaswalker #author #writer #jumperbook #artstudio #femaleartist #modernart #contemporaryart #gallery #fineart #figurativeartist #abstractart

“Contrast Figurative Work

“We’re All Just Stardust”. I used black acrylic ink and thickened it with gloss medium which creates sort of a newspaper aged look, then I highlight minimally with heavy body titanium white. #painting #art #artwork #artist #figurativeart #artgallery #femaleartist #artstudio #author #fantasywriter #figurativeartist #fineart #professionalartist #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbook

New Koi started

Taking a few days off the figuratives to start a couple of my all time favorites koi fish. Mixed media. The gold leaf still has to dry before I proceed #artprocess #artstudio #koi #koifish #modernart #koifishart #kelliethomaswalker #artist #illustration #drawing #painting #fineart

Happy November 1st

Aging my cemetery angel. Happy November 1st! Even though im not Latina I take the day and remember those loved ones that have passed on.

Working an oldie 24x18 sketch while my husband curses out the dry wall he’s putting in our bathroom remodel 😏.

“I Watched You Disappear”

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
