"Full Moon Rising"

It's been a busy last month.  Ran a new barefoot 1/2 marathon PR in 2:55:00.  That was the Summerfest Rock n Sole on June 23.  A week later I spent vacation time biking and running with family in 100+ degree heat.  Last week I was kayaking and camping in the lovely BWCA.  Not sure how many river miles I put in, but just to keep running in the mix I ran in between loads on the portage trails in my water shoes, sometimes with water still in them.  Got in some swimming, took lots of photos, tested my painting skills using guache (opaque water colors), and made it out just shy of a few drops of rain starting to fall on the windshield of my car.  Once home and unpacked I completed my new business card design from start to finish.  And to top of the end of a great 2 week vacation, I painted this picture today.  I'll be dropping it off, along with a few other works, this week to The Waxwing in Shorewood.  Opening Night Reception is Friday, July 20th, 6-9pm for anyone interested in seeing my new works in person.  They'll be on display for sale through September 18th or so.  After that, contact me if you're interested in buying any of them - I will have my new website up and running by then!  www.ArtByKelli.net

Live Painting June 9 Recap

For those of you who missed my live painting this past weekend, here's a few of its stages taken over the 3 hour session.  The completed painting took about 6 hours total.  I've been playing around with some yoga themes lately - this one features 3 different poses.
