The first two paintings in my FAMILY series came easily to me in concept. I have eight more paintings in this series planned. For each of my immediate family members, I'm choosing a photo/time period/emotional connection that most expresses my feelings about them - not necessarily as an individual; but, more like how I see them as an individual separate from my relationship with each. Honestly, it's turning out to be a lot harder than I thought and I'm wondering why it was so easy with my parents? Maybe because they are both gone from this earth and my relationship with each is frozen where they left it. I don't know; but, I'll be pondering this a lot. When I decided to do this series, I knew exactly what I wanted to convey about each of my parents. I hope the other concepts come to me and that I'll know them when they do. . . #hopewellkat #katbaileyartist #katbaileyauthor #hopewellkat #countrylife #countryartist #suns #love #flowers #joy #hope #acrylicpaintings #mosaics #lily #lilyart #grankatandlily #lilyandgrankat #concreteart #gardenart #treeoflife @katbaileyauthor @artezaofficial #colorfulpaintings #family Message for commissions & acquisitions Visit hopewellkat.com

A friend, who is a quilt artist, told me a while back that she's not interested in "joining" - she was referring to quilt guilds or other such groups. She said she just wanted to make quilts for her family and herself. I thought about that quite a bit. This trilogy took me so long - in part (largely) because I'm emotional about family in general. Losing my parents has left me permanently (I believe) a bit off kilter regarding my family. Partly, it took so long because I knew I was painting these for my granddaughter and I would pause to paint other things - commissions or other pieces to possibly sell/show. But, I understand what my friend told me now - I do want to paint for my family and myself - I want to leave a little tiny piece of me behind and hope that it survives a generation or two. . . #hopewellkat

Stairwell gallery . . I'd probably rather sell most of these; but, for now they'll be on "show" in my stairwell. . . #hopewellkat #katbaileyartist #katbaileyauthor #hopewellkat #countrylife #countryartist #suns #love #flowers #joy #hope #acrylicpaintings #mosaics #lily #lilyart #grankatandlily #lilyandgrankat #concreteart #gardenart #treeoflife @katbaileyauthor @artezaofficial #colorfulpaintings @kylamariepillsbury .

Repost . First in the series, FIVE FLOWERS; though, I'll admit that the next two (of what will be six, I think) are not quite finished. Sometimes, posting (or reposting in this case) will give me a little push. On the other hand, I've been known to abandon more than a few paintings... Regardless, this ONE is complete and was selected for the Wit & Wisdom Show in June... It's small - 8"x10", acrylic, and heavily textured. . . #hopewellkat #katbaileyartist #katbaileyauthor #hopewellkat #countrylife #countryartist #suns #love #flowers #joy #hope #acrylicpaintings #mosaics #lily #lilyart #grankatandlily #lilyandgrankat #concreteart #gardenart #treeoflife @katbaileyauthor @artezaofficial #colorfulpaintings @kylamariepillsbury .
