Droplets of Sky, fresh off the easel. Upon closer inspection, you will discover that one eye is the sunrise, the other is my Grandmother's blue. A small nod to the sheer awe of our natural world and the constant of love. She’s 16x20, acrylic on panel. #originalart #blueskies #blueskyart #dailyart

Baby Blue, 16x20, acrylic on panel.

Enchanted, new painting, 18x24 acrylic on panel.

Pondering these two. #originalart #blueskyart #stunday #equineart

Starting to think Fox might be a facet of myself. I’ve been dreaming of and encountering her pretty regularly the last 5 years. Today I decided to invite a younger version to join us for a walk in the woods. #blueskyart #dailypainter #foxmagic

Detail of a larger than life painting. I am so in love with her. #blueskyart #equineart #originalart #makeart #painting

Detail of an in process, larger than life, double equine portrait. The magic is deep in the studio. #blueskyart #equineart #originalart

I’m calling her Denial. Just how little kids shut their eyes when they don’t want to see something. She’s blocked out reality and imagining a magical alternative. I’m creating a number of paintings as I work through the lesson plan for my next online workshop #foxmagic #denial #blueskyart

who is that bird? What is happening to this branch - how can it be rootless, twisted and broken, yet still bloom? Is the blue sky actually rent in two - and is it pushing through that veil or being and stuffed away? Impossible, 36" square acrylic painting. #chickadee #originalart #blueskyart

May your heart be filled with light and love. Happy Valentine's Day. #foxmagic #love #valentinesday #Painting #dailypainter #originalart #eyecandy #blueskyart

Love comes in many shapes and sizes. Happy Valentines Day. #rosegarden #davidaustin #equineart #painting #dailypainter #blueskyart

She’s turning into quite the tower of petals. I’m intrigued as to where she’s taking me…… #intuitivepainting #followyourgut #fragmented #goldenacrylics #wetpaint

New lesson on my youtube channel on exploring ideas using the framework of working in a series. Enjoy! youtu.be/aGz6JUbnNw4

When your hs bff comes for a sleepover, of course there’s a late night studio sesh making paper dolls. #paperdolls #foxandrabbit #sweetdreams #besties #bffs

@bsky.art Thinking of my rose arbor. Yeah, I know it’s only February. But it’s the promise of spring that will pull us though the coldest months, right? Fireflies, 18x24, acrylic on panel #wetpaint -#englishrose #davidaustinroses #skyporn #landscapepainting #floralpainting

I gave myself permission to wander about in all the things I loved about a little rose bush from my garden. I don’t know what it is, but for me, reaching for the things I love results in work that cracks me open. #sweetheartroses #pinkroses #floralpainting #floral #wetpaint #painting #art #dailyart

Currently on my easel, I’m calling this one Get a Grip. 16x20, acrylic on panel. #painting #contemporarylandscape #barren #dystopia #artwork #dailypainter

Did this one take me on a ride! I signed her twice then returned to make massive shifts to the concept. Is the third time the charm? Let’s hoe so! #art #painting #dailypainter #fox

Found myself doodling today (have been loving alcoholmarkers lately) and this came out. #accidentalart -#runrabbitrun #currentfeels #artreflectslife

Next up is to correct those ears and soften the relationship between Fox and the background. #foxmedicine #wildlifeart #painter #largerthanlife #acrylicpainting #goldenpaints

At the vet with this little bundle of sweetness, who’s got a double ear infection. Glad we caught it early on. I’ve promised her a bed of warm towels when we get home. #studiocat #monalisa #studiokitty #tabby #rescuekitty

Holed up in the studio today drawing and thinking about change. #butterfly #speciman #metamorphosis #change #drawing #ink #inkdrawing

Making progress on this 66”wide painting. Loving how smooth this linen is and the scale - my brush is dancing across it! #equineart #disruptedrealism #largerthanlife #originalart #art

Check out the newest Art Ladders podcast! It’ll inject a little bit of magic into your day. #artist #painter #artpodcast #podcast

Meet "Calabasas." She was painted last week to reflect a sliver of the devastation currently happening in our world. Not all art is meant to be easy to look at - the best art makes you feel something, even uncomfortable. I see despair but also a simple request to witness and take action.

It's a #fillyourfeed sort of day - This video short contains selected daily drawings from during 2020s Covid pandemic. #artheals #actsofart #drawing #mixedmedia #disruptedrealism

It's a #fillyourfeed day - This is "Try Me" from November 2024 - she sits in a private collection (THANK YOU!), but I sure do love revisiting her - that steely gaze and waves of energy coming off her are inspiring.

Today is a #fillyourfeed sort of day. This one is "The Struggle is Real," a self portrait I think from 2016 or maybe 2017. I try to do self portraits regularly, not out of vanity, but as a means of recording my own life journey. #artheals #selfie #originalart #selfportrait

New art journaling lesson about walking through the fire and rising from the ashes is on my YouTube channel. If you are looking for respite or a reset, I highly recommend art journaling. Lots of free content on my channel @kimberlykellysantini

Having lived in LA for 8 years, I cannot get the devastation of the wildfires out of my mind. There’s something burning everywhere metaphorically too - Our world is a dumpster fire. Off to make some homemade chicken soup and try to cure my blues. #climatechangeisreal #paintwhatyoufeel #artfromlife

New art journaling lesson is up on my youtube channel. This one is about processing loss/fear and rising from the ashes. #artjournaling #persist #artheals #actsofart #actofart

Starting something new. Go big or go home, right? #artstudio #painting #lifesized

A painting about leveling up. Realizing there’s another threshold we hadn’t imagined prior. #metamorphosis #persist #change

detail of new prints added to my print on demand shop over on FineArtAmerica and Pixels.com. Add some spice to your walls!! buy art or reproductions and support creatives instead of big box stores. #thankyou

I’ve developed two new processes the last couple weeks that I think are impacting the quality of my work in positive ways. This little one is an example of what happens when trying new things launched from other bits that thrill you. #painter #takerisks #paintpusher #trynewthings

Another breakthrough painting! Inspired by passages in other pieces and steered by a limited palette and value centric decision making, this one is part of the live demo happening next week in my online class.

Reworked a painting today. Simplified values, palette, shapes and settled in to some of my favorite drawing approaches with a paintbrush in hand. Meet Indigo, 16x20, acrylic on panel #alwaysastudent #equineart #indigo #disruptedrealism #heirloomroses #goldenacrylics #secondtimearound

My email provider implemented two factor authentication yest and the email on my laptop stopped working. Spent over 3 hours today trying to get it to work. I might as well have just beat my head against the wall. Sigh. At least it's not Monday.

Breakthrough day with learning the oil paints in that I’ve now got a handle on the new array of colors (spent a month mixing color charts) and utilizing my palette surface to maximize one of my favorite things - nuance!! #forwardmovement #learningoilpainting #paintingpalette #color #colormixing

Got to play with my oil paints today. Study on paper is oil, inspired by my acrylic painting on the right. #painting #oilpaint #acrylicpaint #fox

Rabbit Rabbit 2025, 16"x20", acrylic on panel. This is a rabbit painted overtop another rabbit painting, filled with poppies, injected with some borealis coloring, done on the first day of 2025. She is my prayer for our world in 2025. #rabbitrabbit #paintitout #prayerforpeace #newyear2025 #newyear

I've been struggling with making a habit out of posting here. Resolution - be more attentive to spaces holding positive vibes!! Here's a painting of mine overflowing with good vibes. Om is 18x24 (this is a detail) acrylic on panel. #goodvibes #manifest #painting #foxmagic

Rabbit Rabbit - Happy New Year!! let's dig deep and make this one matter. #rabbitrabbit #happynewyear #originalart #intuitivepainter #justpaint
