Artistic Expressions

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I’m one of the artists selected for a new art book “Artistic Expressions”, which can be seen at http://www.pixelatedpalette.com/recommendedreading.html It has more detail than the direct blurb link http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/256861

You might recognize the Imagkind art and artists. I titled the book (won a contest), did the reddish background art and we each have 3 pages of art + bio.

Thank you Elizabeth Edwards for putting this together!

Candy Chips

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I’ve created a small piece of art that I’ve put into RedBubble.com titled “Candy Chips”. It’s available as a card and it will probably primarily be a promotion piece, as it’s typical “Art by Kinnally”. Therefore at this time I have no intention of making it available as a large giclée print; just cards, brochures and the like.

 If you like the look and the colors of this art, then you will probably also enjoy my award winning piece “Gooey Chocolate Caramel Nougat #1“, posted in this blog on April 26, 2008.

The Coasters

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

This particular artwork was named in honor of the singing group, “The Coasters“. Some of you younger people might not know them but they had some great hits way back when… (way back, way back - click the link and select an album of theirs and you can listen to a few musical excerpts.)

But they also remind me of fabric circles, like my mom and grandmother used to make before they sewed them together to make those wonderful quilts!

The color scheme of this artwork with its rainbow of colors, both muted and bright, works very well and the whole piece comes together in a wonderful harmony. The 3D effect of  each ‘coaster’ and the layering of one on top of the other in a beautiful spiral pattern gives a dramatic look to the art and adds lots of visual interest.

 Comments to date at Imagekind are: Absolutely fabulous! All the Best. - This is my favorite! Very cheerful, lots of motion! - Wow your work is amazing. I love fractals and you have mastered the technique :)  - Fantastic work!  - lovely ! nice colours  - Very cool  - Captivating and mezmerizing image!  - Amazing.

 Needless to say this sort of reaction to my work pleases me very much! I hope you enjoy this as much as they did!

Shellfish Dream

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Those of you who haven’t visited my galleries lately at Imagekind may not have seen some of my latest artwork, so I’ll include some of my latest in a few of these blog posts.

 This latest I call “Shellfish Dream” and it took me a few weeks to complete. It was a bit difficult to get the segments exactly how I wanted them to look, and to get the reflections to look as if the surface had some depth to it, almost like porcelain. No such shell exists, as it’s composed of four spirals not one. I hope you enjoy it!
