3 Deer at Sidley Lake, Molson, Wa. - Acrylic painting by Artist, Kelly Kyle

  "Three Deer at Sidley Lake" ,  by Kelly Kyle.     
                    ORIGINAL, 20x 24 framed FOR SALE -  $2,500.00 
Here is one of my latest paintings from the "Oroville artist's challenge" 2011.  All 15 people from the Oroville, Tonaskat, Loomis, Chesaw, Molson, areas, made their artistic interpretation of an inspirational photo by the local, late Mr. Hughes, 3 deer at Sidley lake.

All the artists were given 2 months to paint the photo their way and return it to hang at the ART GALA in Oroville, WA.  The town response was great, with 70 people turning out to come meet the many artists who were there to give a brief description of their piece. The Oroville Friends of the Library put on the ART Show and donations were given towards the building fund and operations accounts. All in all the night was a success, and money was raised to help the Friends of the Library succeed. A good time was had by all.

My next showing could be online with EMG = Everywhere Media Group, ...or a couple different Restaurants, community centers, etc... in the area.....and possibly at Soul Food Books in Redmond. Keep checking in for more details.

THANKS!

Killer Whales in the PNW - Acrylic Painting by ARTIST: Kelly Kyle

 Killer Whales in the PNW. This SOLD for $250.00 in 2009.
Who doesn't love the Orcas here in Puget Sound?  The LOCAL PNW Orca resident pods all have distinct markings on them and unique numbers and of course names too. In this painting, there is an adult male in the foreground with two females and a baby. They are all just swimming off into the sunset. A metaphor of life perhaps...but just the way I like it, in my world.

I was once on a whale watching boat, in the daytime, and the orcas did come this close, actually closer to our boat. It was an awesome experience, that I will not soon forget. Maybe that is why I love to paint them so frequently. This is one of eight I have done. All different, yet similar.

Do you love orcas like I do? Let me know why....at.... blondee7333@hotmail.com
Thanks for reading.

Wood Duck on a lake

I completed this acrylic painting in 2007 - one of my first 5 paintings.
This is a WOOD DUCK - I gave it to a friend, 3 years ago. It hangs in his law office hallway in Fall City, WA. I guess I would value it at about $275.00,  if it were ever put back onto the market.
I used some fun techniques and some great colors.

Friends of the Library - Art Gala in Oroville, Wa.

So you want to know about my weekend in Oroville, Wa. Many people have asked to see the photos and hear the stories. ok....I'll fill you in on the details. I had 3 months to paint. As you guessed, I procrastinated till the very end....and had only 4 days till the show. So, one night about 11pm, I got out my acrylics and told my hubby, see ya in the AM when you get up...as I will most likely be up ALL night painting.  Most pieces take me 8-12 hours to create...this one just came outta nowhere....BAM- 2 hours!

Ellie Braman has been working on the "friends of the Library" fundraising for many years and she is the town go-getter, so click the link above to see more on the event.  All the Artists were given the same 5x7 color photograph to do a painting or something. We were given "creative liscence" to do whatever we wanted, but it had to be of that photo. As you can imagine, all 15 entries turned in were COMPLETELY..... and TOTALLY different. All Creative and wonderful.

We expected about 40 people, but were thrilled when we had 70 people in the room enjoying the art. $5.00 donations were taken at the door, and ballots were given for a "people's choice" award and picking the next picture for the next event. A large chocolate fountain with different fruits, doughnuts, and pretzels around it, stood in the gathering area and was enjoyed by all. There are some really talented artists in the community, of which only about 1/2 came out and participated in this event. Each artist was invited to come forward and talk for a few minutes about their piece that night, which made for a great summary of each artists journey.
We picked the next piece, and Ellie is hard at work getting all the details ready to do it again, soon. Count me in!...Wa-hoooooooooooooo.

Painting with COLOR

Painting with color. Is this a redundant statement? or is it obvious?...I do not know the answer to it. I just know I like COLOR...and it makes me feel good. Depending on my mood, I like some colors on some days better than others. Does this happen to you? Let me know.... leave me a comment.... Thanks!

My First Post with Creative ART by Kelly

This is my first posting from my new Blog....Creative ART by Kelly.
I invite you to learn more about me and why I LOVE ART.  Art is the glue that holds me together. I have to create things...quilts, photographs, paintings, and more. I think it is crafting taken to a larger level. So I invite you to come with me on this journey of self discovery.

Let's experience ART together:  What do YOU see...???
The photo here is an azalea in my yard. It caught my eye this spring because of the beautiful colors I saw coming out of it. When you look deeper into the flowers you see 4 -5 colors. Pink, blush, magenta, wine, etc...etc... Then you see the same thing in all the greens, browns, golden tones...RICH, fun....exciting. A photo like this makes me want to use all these colors in something fun. THAT painting is yet to emerge from within me...but it will come. I am getting the urge to paint...right now as I write this. See you later on more BLOG posts...in the future. I will post painting, quilts photos, etc..all things I love to create.
