Ladybugs, In Process ~~ Kimberly Kelly Santini

"Ladybugs," an in process painting of two Great Dane pups from Ohio Great Dane Rescue (OGDR), and the latest addition to my Gratitude Paintings series. This piece is 12" square, and will be available for purchase when completed (tomorrow?), with the proceeds going to OGDR.   If you are interested in purchasing "Ladybugs," I suggest you get in line now by sending me an email. I have this feeling that these girlies won't be around for long.   And yes, I know that the general idea is that I complete a painting each day.   HOW-EV (said with attitude - my kids are teaching ME stuff these days!), some paintings demand more than a day's effort, and these two darlings asked nicely for extra time. How could I say no? they are behaving so well in the studio. The ladybugs, on the other hand.....   A few in process pics are on the studio Facebook page, if you are interested.   Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family, Kim ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com     COMING UP ~~ PAINTING WORKSHOP "Mixing Color Not Mud": Saturday, October 8th, at the Orion Art Center in Lake Orion MICHIGAN. Email me to get on the early bird list.   Just a few of the things happening around these parts:   THURS: grownUPs Journalling at Little Monsters in Lake Orion, Michigan, 6-8pm   SAT: Live paint demonstration at Raining Cats and Dogs in Frankenmuth, Michigan, 1-5pm   SUN: The Man Child leaves for camp, which means I'm down 1 kid for the week   NEXT TUES: final kids journalling class of the summer at Little Monsters in Lake Orion, 6-7:30   NEXT WED: Football Camp begins for The Caped Crusader - another kid gone!   NEXT THURS: Wild celebrations scheduled as The Princess and I take over the house   Email me to reserve a spot at either of the journalling classes.
