Artist Spotlight: Kelley MacDonald

Sandi found Kelley MacDonald at Daily Painter Originals (tons of wonderful artist over there!).  Her work is just beautiful.

I was taken in by this lobster (I do have a love for almost all things ocean related!).  

Then I found the donuts! Oh happy day!

 

And, of course, I'm a sucker for paintings with dogs.  This is part of a little series from a dog show she went to.

On her blog she posts new paintings anywhere from 3 - 6 times a week.  Amazing!

She lives in Rhode Island and has several sea inspired paintings.   

I really love the series she's created with rock pebbles picked up along the shore.  What a wonderful idea for a still life!

So go check out her blog.  She gives a little insight into each painting she posts.  And it's a lovely place to get lost for a while!

Artist Spotlight: Mincing Mockingbird

The Mincing Mockingbird is one of my absolute favorite artists.  His paintings, done in acrylic, typically have a lot of negative space and a lot of emotion.

I Have Only Heard the Moon Laugh Once, and Once Was Quite Enough

His titles are my favorite.  They actual enhance the painting - giving a little insight to the subject.

Sinister Acts to Which Only the Moon Bears Witness

He has a wonderful blog, which he shares with his equally talented wife.

Attaining Godspeed

And check out his flickr for even more works.

Moments When My Gaze Goes Vacant

Five Years Spent Chasing the Horizon

And of course his current works are available in his etsy shop!
