Final touches

Had to omit her rump, because twitter will flag it, not sure if IG will; although it’s the best part of the painting. Busy summer: three gallery exhibitions in two months. When I’m not painting, I’m writing then cooking, because good food makes everyone 😊 smile. I’ll add in some transparent highlights, but overall composition stays intact. Funny thing happened, I had a brush blow out on her bottom…not the best place for that to happen. I had to paint over it.

Mom/Daughter Art

I had forgot that I had submitted to the California Open, until I got a call from

The curator yesterday saying art drop is now. Whoops. It's at El Camino College Gallery. Reese has two portraits, I have three angels. This is the second time that she and I have exhibited together. Reception is July 8th. #art #artist #artgallery #artexhibition #artist #artlovers #kelliethomaswalker #artcollector #artworks #artstudio #painting #portrait #figurativeart #charcoaldrawing #illustration #modernart #losangeles #longbeach #southerncaliforniaart #southerncalifornia

My Graduate

Our beautiful third born Kameryn Nevae graduated high school today. The past three years, as well as some of middle school I homeschooled her through iLead Exploration. You did it kiddo. (With the help of our Weenie dog Ricki ❤️

Psychology of Color

Psychology of color. Bringing in elements into your home that sooth and invigorate your mind are crucial and should not be taken lightly. I painted this 5ft koi piece years ago for my home, and enjoy it every day. Blues and greens with contrasts of magenta and mandarin orange yield differences throughout the changing angle of the sun. #kelliethomaswalker #artist #psychology #psychologyofcolor #interiordesign #homedecor #homeimprovement #decor #painting #artsy #artcollector #writer #jumperbookseries #jumperbook #contemporaryart #femaleartist #modernart #artwork #longbeach #losangeles #california

Mercy

Be patient with your progress. This one has taken me over a year, and I still haven’t finished her. #kelliethomaswalker #artist #painting #angel #lightworker #angelart #angels #artsy #artwork #figurativeart #gallery #artcollector #writer #writing #jumperbookseries

Dialogue

Chapter 7 is off with circles of engaging dialogue. Tip: print out your manuscript script (recycled paper!!!) periodically. It helps to see the whole, and it’s healthy to get away from the screen. Please where blue light protection lenses. #kelliethomaswalker #artist #writing #writer #jumperbookseries #jumperbook #scif #scifibooks #fantasy #jumperbook2 #author #jumper #femalehero #femalelead #amquerying #amazonbooks #targetbooks #barnesandnoble

Art in Films

A handful of my colorful abstract prints will be on set of the upcoming movie “Little Miss Sociopath”. I’ve homeschooled my third born the past few years as the public school system was largely inadequate to provide her assistance for her ADD and anxiety, and now that she’s graduated I’m moving myself from part time artist/writer to full time. Teaching Kam in high school has brightened my mind and open my thought process, and this was a beautiful affect I didn’t anticipate.

The originals of the prints are on hold and not for sale until filming wraps. Prints are available, just go to contact/purchases page on my site.

Ocean Painting

Brush work, touching up some cracks in the pour I did for a special person (doesn’t know yet) who was a vital role in my family’s life. Note: my acrylic pours are priced lower than my other work because they don’t take as much work to paint. 12x24. #pourpainting #acrylicpainting #abstractpainting #abstractart #art #artist #kelliethomaswalker #artgallery #fineart #fineartist #ocean #pacific #oceanart #oceanpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #modernart

Rework of 48x48 Cherry Blossom

Repaint! Those who know, me won’t believe what I did. This painting had a huge profile of a woman. I blanked it out, reworked the blooms, branches and added in three hummingbirds. The paint on the birds needs to dry before I detail them. #repaint #paint #painting #artist #author #art #writer #jumper #jumperbook #kelliethomaswalker #cherryblossom #cherrytree #cherryblossompainting #illustration #longbeach #losangeles #gallery #artwork #contemporaryart #floral #floralart #hummingbird

Happy Earth Day

“Tribute” has been in over 10 gallery exhibitions. Paint pen on gallery wrapped canvas. Fun fact about me: since I can remember I’ve been intrigued and slightly obsessed with various Asian cultures. Any piece of work that I create with an Asian theme comes from my heart and ultimate reverence to the beautiful cultures. We must love and respect one another on this blue ball we call Earth. #earthday #artist #author #writer #art #jumper #jumperbook #lifelessons #kelliethomaswalker #drawing #illustration #streetart #losangeles #longbeach #modernart #gallery #artwork #artgallery #penart #penartdrawing #draw #drawings
