Sometimes the hardest part of a painting is deciding what on earth to call it! Goodness.... I just fell in love with the light :)

Beaver Skull

Just painting something familiar. It's been incredibly strange around here lately, so I guess I'm painting a skull to stead myself :)

Fawn at Dusk

16"x20"

A little fawn, caught on the trailcam just as night has finished falling- the light of the flash reflecting on bright eyes, horns all soft and velvety. Something magical.

Little Clown

Still experimenting with my little dailies :)
And very much trapped in the house. Geez, I wish my truck wasn't stuck in the ditch.... and that it was springtime. Springtime would be AWESOME.

Bright

5"x7"
click here to purchase

Something pretty, to take my mind off the psycho Snowpocalypse thing. My truck is in a ditch and will most likely stay there till Monday when we can get a tow truck on site, and I won't be able to do the Carrboro Art Walk at Steel String Brewery on Friday like I wanted to....
But I am home, and warm, and we still have electricity, and that's a lot to be grateful for. Love y'all/

So this is.... different. And very interesting. And a lesson in why I love the whole daily painting Thing- it encourages experimentation!

Portrait of Albie Mahone

36"x36"

Check this gentleman out! I dropped him off at Steel String Brewery in Carrboro today when I picked up Revelation to get her to her new home....
If you're interested in this painting you can email me at kelliemarianhill@yahoo.com . He is $400, but I am NOT planning on shipping something this size (USPS shipping becomes extremely expensive past 24") so we'll need to be able to meet up to get him to you :)

There's frozen stuff covering.... everything.... the whole world is shut down, and I'm having trouble focusing. So I took a break from the big paintings I'm working on to do a nice bright summery little piece. Love it, especially the blue halo effect!

I love this one. Love, love, love. Took it to Merfest, but then brought it home and put a lot more work in, glazing and really making everything "pop" and now....
