The Painting Formerly Known as “Barbie Pink”
Remember that hideously pink painting I posted a while ago? (If not, you can see it in all its pinkness here: http://karinkohlmeier.com/2013/08/pink-base-layer-for-my-next-multi-layer-painting/) Not that I have anything against the color pink per se…but seriously, wow–that was BRIGHT! A layer of Crackle Paste, a wash of paints, and a layer of Glass Bead Gel later, and […]
Stumbled Onto a Solution–and I Love It!
I’ve been wanting to find a way to photograph my paintings “in context” so that people looking at them online can get an accurate sense of their size. But as I have no well-placed wall space in my apartment (much less nice furniture that would make an attractive backdrop), I have been stumped on what to […]
Another Layer on the Painting
Another layer has been added on top of the Barbie Pink. A couple more to come… And here’s another view: A layer of glass bead gel will go on top of this…then the real fun will begin!
Pink Base Layer for My Next Multi-Layer Painting

Multi-Layer Pour Painting, Phase 1
I’m working on a painting that will be made up of multiple layers of poured paint. Here are the first two layers. I’m having SO much fun with it already!
Guess How Much I Trust My Cats…
Yes, there is a painting in there somewhere. I’ve been doing a lot of paintings in which the paint is poured onto the canvas and dripped or swirled, so they have to dry flat. The first (and last) time I left one on my table to dry overnight turned into a bit of a debacle…to […]
Blue and Silver Abstract 6
I wanted to share a painting I just completed. It’s a 16 x 20″ acrylic on canvas. I experimented with a variety of new (to me) techniques. It didn’t turn out AT ALL how I expected–but I like it even more than what I meant to do! And here are a few close-ups so you […]
Lovely Labels for my Note Card Sets!
