Interested in a commission?

Posted by Kim Haskins on

Are you interested in commissioning a painting from me? If so, make sure you're on my commissions mailing / waiting list by messaging me via this contact form. I'm about to start scheduling commissioned paintings for completion later this year so will be emailing everybody on the list with latest prices and information about the process PS This was the last commission I painted before taking a little break - it's of Puschi, Fusslo, Schnuddi and Ta-Zuma who live in southern Germany. It's 30 x 40cm, acrylic on deep canvas

New posters! And framing suggestions...

Posted by Kim Haskins on

I've just released four new high-quality poster prints at just £9 each - the collection is growing! Three of my popular love-themed 'ink' designs are included in the set: Loving Feline, You're Purrfect and Sweetheart. As these are a commercially-standard A3 size (precisely 29.7 x 42.0cm / 11.69 x16.53 inches, or 30x40cm / 12x16inches if you prefer to round things up), it's quite easy to find affordable frames and mounts for these posters yourself (eg try IKEA).

Copper and gold leaf on 'By Your Side'

Posted by Kim Haskins on

'By Your Side' features a blue tabby with gittering gold leaf eyes next to a fluffy gold kitten. It has a luxurious background of resin-coated copper leaf.  Copper leaf turns out to be a bit trickier to work with than gold leaf - it seems harder to transfer from the wax paper onto the canvas. But the effect is stunning, and I particularly like the contrast against blue colours, like in this painting. I have coated this with clear resin too for an extra tactile and glossy effect.Painted on 6x4" canvas in 2016; signed, varnished and unframed. Can be hung framed or unframed, or stood...
