I Am a Writer – Painterly Pumpkins
https://painterlypumpkins.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/70
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12. I Am a Writer. June 5, 2012. June 5, 2012. I am a writer. No wait…I AM A WRITER! What does this mean? Does it mean I write for a living, that I’m a published author, a reporter…what? I am none of those things today. Does it mean I write because I want to, I love to, I can’t help it? My goodness, I haven’t even updated this blog in forever! Despite hav...

Kim Werfel's Art Journal: Gypsy
http://kim-werfel.blogspot.com/2015/02/gypsy.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. While visiting my frame shop on Halloween, I snapped a photo of one of the costumed employees and finally got around to painting her pastel portrait. I decided to use my new favorite surface, suede mat board, but this one was a dark gray.much harder (I found out) to make light creamy skin tones on! Gypsy", 15" x 20", pastel ©Kim Werfel. This surface is not forgiving and I doubt if I will ever do another portrait on the dark color. Thanks for following my blog!

Kim Werfel's Art Journal: Woodland Bunny
http://kim-werfel.blogspot.com/2015/06/woodland-bunny.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. You never know when inspiration for your next painting will come from. While walking my bichon frise Summer one morning, my neighbor stopped to show me a photo of a rabbit that we believe has been eating our flowers. It hasn't been proven in court yet, but the evidence is stacking up. She got a good close-up as he was right outside her window. When I asked to paint him, she generously sent me her photo. After cropping in and playing with color I came up with "Woodland Bunny". Http:...

Sunday, August 17, 2014. Three Border Collies Commissioned Portrait. I've been busy this week working on a big commissioned piece that had to wait for my classes to end. This is the first "three dog portrait" that I've painted. Considering this was all done from photos sent to me by e-mail by the client, I think it turned out pretty well! I usually like to take my own photos and meet the dog to get a take on their energy and personality. The next dog.largest and the alpha is Isabella. Links to this post.
