New 48x48” piece . Bringing the electric forest to another time of day. Maybe a new season.
A friend who was visiting said it transported him places when he was wearing his glasses AND when he wasn’t. I think that must be good.

The difference between day and night. Things change in different lighting. My feelings on a piece often change the same way. I still sometimes make things face the wall until they decide to behave but less frequently than I used to . I guess I must be a more stringent painting disciplinarian these days or something.
Studio this week .

One of my draw pieces in its home . The transformation of a piece when it changes place is amazing.
I have another draw happening on Monday so there’s still plenty of time to send me your screenshot of a charitable donation dated between November 15 - 22 to get in on the draw.

Moving this new 5x6‘ around was tragic for my pants . There was no gust of wind to blame it on even.
Nonetheless I like the light and the space in it. It’ll be one of my electric forests when it gets a name .

New charity draw piece . Send me a screenshot of a charitable donation dated between November 15th and November 22 and you’re in . The draw will happen next Monday evening November 22 8 pm EST. The piece is 10x10” , oil and acrylic on panel. If you win , I’ll send it to you wherever you happen to be.
I’m trying in a small way to recognize and address the struggles of people around me.

Welcome to daylight savings at my studio . The light changes so much and so dramatically at this time of year . I think it’s the angle of the sun and the rapid shortening of the days. The lack of humidity in the air and enhanced clarity play a part too.
The clarity is evident here because you can see right across my studio. ( photo reality may have no resemblance to studio reality) its captured in a momentary glimpse of relative order. Chaos is coming in right behind this photo.

Very wet paint. More colours than normal . Making me a bit uneasy . I always think a little discomfort is a good thing.
It’s another electric forest . 30x40” .

The other piece that was delivered to @diannawittegallery last week. I’ll post an installation shot soon . It too is 4x4’ .
Always exciting to see pieces in a different environment where they have space to breathe.

Three lake walk interpretations, three palates and three details. Each is 36x18” . Having fun with skinny verticals with sky and rocks and tees and water.
Early pandemic habits of walking by the lake in whatever weather continue. As the Norwegians say ‘ there is no such thing as bad weather , only bad clothing’

Was trying to photograph this new 48x48” square with one of the 36x18” pieces . Alas , it just didn’t work out so well except in pieces. So I show you some pieces .
Really enjoying these 36x18” verticals. Going with it . They primarily at the moment are of my lake walks but these things are likely to change suddenly.
UPDATE: the wet painting has made its way to @diannawittegallery . You can check it out there but not too close . Lookers beware !

Was talking about this piece to a friend of mine the other day. It’s simple but there are so many things we liked about it. The shadow , the line the subtle variation of colour, even the pink. 18x18”

Another recording of one of my walks down by the lake . For some reason the way the light hits the trees and the water right now feels very tropical. This may be a slightly less fanciful interpretation of that but don’t you worry. Plenty of fanciful is happening. 18x36”

Back to a still life for a minute. Nearing the end of these home grown still life’s from life for the season . Not certain what’ll happen once the garden dies back, it’s remaining still life production is dwindling. I’m still enjoying these explorations. This ones 10x10”

Seems like a time for tropical dreams. The days are getting shorter and feeling greyer. I think it’s that mist in the air that seems to linger on days like these .
We’ve had a lovely extended stretch of warm weather but as immortalized by ‘game of thrones’ , winter is coming.
This tropical dream is 36x18”

I’ve been 👀 at this piece a bunch lately as it’s being considered for a book cover . It looks rather like my garden right now but the satellite discs in the background are gone.
It’s called Urban Web from my Studies in line and form series , is 48x40” and is available @bugeramathesongallery

A new 48x60” piece underway in the studio. Building up layers , hoping not to lose the luminance.

Here’s a new forest interior, 40x30” . I can’t quite get it all in on this format so I show it on a wall as well.
Not certain why I’m painting portrait format and squares recently but knowing myself , this too will change.
Still trying to determine which piece to use for my next draw . I’ll figure it out soon .

I’ve been planning and making these for awhile . These are my ‘art for groceries’ pieces. I started them when the world was turned upside down initially and I thought all my galleries were closing and I had to do something.
I’d never worked so small and it was challenging. While working on them I discovered that it wasn’t so bad. I liked how accessible the pieces were and they helped me work through ideas.
Here in this next version of art for groceries, I’m donating 10% of these sales to the food bank and including shipping in Canada . The 6x6’s are $185. And the 8x8’s are $300. They’re be available on my website www.kimatlin.com tomorrow . I’ll also be doing another charity donation piece soon too. Just waffling over which piece.
