I’ve had requests to see what my “process” is. I do lots and lots of tracing paper mapping of sections, & when I get everything exactly where I want it I transfer the mapping and dive in with painting. Any other questions, just let me know!! :) xoxo! #wip #workinprogress #paintingprocess #art #painting #popsurrealism #acrylic #illustration #modernart #stacksofidolcows
The “Kristen Method”= ya get stuck on one painting, move on to the next one, then on to the next one, then on to the next one, the back to the first one, repeat until all are finished. #workinprogress #wip #art #painting #acrylic #popsurrealism #modernart #animalsinart #exhibits #galleryshows #imaypaintslowbutatleastimpainting

Daisy DingDong Stupidface will only hiss at me when I do this. So I do this a lot. She’s the angriest cutest 5pound kitty on the planet. (at Happy Hell)
I drew this in 1984 when I was 8 years old. Please note the shotgun pointed at the crying mermaid while dolphins playfully jump in the ocean in the background. I apparently have always made uncomfortable art. #tbt #art #drawing #childhooddrawings #ivealwaysmademeanart #mermaids #shotgun #ithinkthereissomethingwrongwithme

Happy Mother’s Day to my most amazing, patient, wonderful mom!! Thanks for not smothering me in my sleep (b/c we all know I totally deserved a good smothering many times over)!!!! Xoxoxo
Monkey Monday!!! This happens all day everyday because my dog is crazy. #monkeymonday #chiweenie #puppies #spazzypuppy #mydogiscuterthanyourkid
I love it when things I forgot I planted bloom. It’s like I planned way in advance to give myself surprise flowers. #gardenporn #flowers #ilikemybackyardmorethanpeople (at Happy Hell)
