Oil on museum grade canvas panel 10x8 Purchase Information The quintessential American breakfast:  sizzling strips of bacon, fried sunny side up eggs, and golden toast with a dollop of butter melting into the nooks and crannies.   www.kristinekainer.com #breakfast #sunnysideup #friedeggs #toast #bacon

Oil on Canvas Panel 6x6 SOLD - Commissions welcome This painting was inspired by an email inquiry.  Someone had seen a painting I did in 2009 and was interested in a print.  Alas, I didn't know how to photograph my art correctly at that time--any prints would have a low resolution.  Seven years later though, with a DSLR camera,  one of my favorite subjects, and (hopefully) and bit of improvement in my painting techniques, this painting was born and I now have a new client in Connecticut.  Thank you, Internet! www.kristinekainer.com www.kristinekainer.blogspot.com

 The 30 days of January went by pretty fast! I am going to try to keep doing a small painting each day. Not stop on 30, so this begins 28 days in February! This is T-Bone, my daughters sweet little dog. It is painted with oil on an orange gessoboard. The next one is our china cups. I painted it on a black gessobord, experimenting with different backgrounds. I really prefer red or orange. The quail is painted on a black under painting also. We have been having blue quail come in the yard to eat. They are so pretty. This one was perched on an old chair that we have in the yard.

Yay! I made it for 30 days! I hope i keep painting a painting each day. At least as much as possible! These are available, through me or Dailypaintworks. They are 6x6 oil on gessobord. Suzy_pal2000@yahoo.com

 Here are days 23-26. All 6x6 using oil on gessobord. These are antique dishes that I have. I love both of those bowls and would love to have more  pieces like it! These are $50 each, and you can purchase them through me or http://dailypaintworks.com

Copyright Kristine Kainer 2014 6x6 Oil on Canvas Purchase Information It's the weekend--time ease into the day with the sights, sounds, and aroma of bacon sizzling in the black cast iron skillet, eggs gently frying in a melted dollop of butter on the next burner, and bread in the toaster turning a golden brown.  Just add orange juice (sorry, I still don't like coffee), a newspaper, and fluffy slippers--the perfect start to the day!

© Kristine Kainer 2014 6x6 Oil on Canvas Purchase Information Thanks to my last blog bestowing accolades on the incredible egg, I have been craving them day and night.  This painting was today's breakfast (yes, two eggs--I couldn't resist).  They are from my two chickens--organic, free range, etc.  What could be more scrumptious?

© Kristine Kainer 2014 6x6 Oil on Canvas SOLD What did you have for breakfast this morning?  Hopefully, it was something delectable and nutritious like an egg.  Did you know that the vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidants from an egg aid in brain function, muscle strength, weight management, and sustained energy?  I never truly thought about it.  Sounds like a "no-brainer" to me.  Guess what I am having for breakfast tomorrow?

 I started out with an under painting, trying to come up with a lesson for my watercolor class.  We have been working on some under paintings, and as I got into this drawing with the pears, it just wasn't working for me. So...like I have done in the past, I just collaged it.  Even though it is on watercolor paper it still works out ok. I have done several like this.  I am working on a demo for Portales NM, and this one will work for what I am planning.  I am also having a workshop March 28-29, and there is still room for more if you are interested.

 Flower Cart Devils Food  Suzy 'Pal'Powell Blog I got these done at the Lubbock TX arts festival. I was ask to demo again. It was fun, but was tiring. It was Friday thru Sunday.  This is Torn Paper Collage on Canvas. The Flower Cart is 14x14 and the cake is 12x12. They are both available.

Party Time 12x12 Suzy 'Pal' Powell Blog See a lot of my Torn Paper Collages here: I was asked to do some more cupcakes, so here is the newest one. I have some more drawn off. Is not always easy to come up with different ways to do something...like a cupcake!

Suzy 'Pal' Powell Blog Another attempt at making glass with torn paper, Magazine pages.

This is new for 2012! Looking forward to summer! Especially since we had about 3 inches of snow today! Everybody has had a fun summer drink with the little umbrella in it! I wanted to see if I could do the glass 'look'. I think the black and yellow/orange really works well together. Next week I am flying to Tyler, TX to teach a 2 day workshop. I know it will be such fun. Am looking forward to it.

'Dreaming' ' Wine? ' 'Grapes anyone?' by Suzy 'Pal' Powell www.suzypal.com I love sketchbooks, and am going to try to do more in 2012. These were chef figurines, i took pictures of somewhere. There are 3 separate ones. I just collaged the group in Picasa.

Oil on Canvas Panel, 6x6 -- Commission Painting #3 of a 5-painting commissioned series is one of the most indispensable ingredients in my kitchen:  a head of garlic.  This particular model will join several more for an indescribably delectable garlic soup.  I first discovered this unsung pleasure while dining at a Spanish restaurant in the gaslight district of San Diego sixteen years ago.  Though my attempts at recreating it were futile at first, I happened upon a recipe in a cookbook that is close--complete with a fried egg in the broth!  Heavenly.
