Awakening 2

Here is another in the "black and white" series. These paintings are so different from my other work but yet when looking at it you can definitely tell it's one of mine! I am very happy how these pieces came out. I would love some feedback from you! Comments welcome! Enjoy!

Transition

So, something made me want to do a series of paintings with mostly blacks, grays and whites with small areas or color. Most of my paintings have so many layers and varieties of color, I wanted to challenge myself by using very little color. So, this is one of 3 in a small series "Transition." Ironicaly, I feel in retrospect that this small series of paintings IS a transition from my previous large series of boldly colored paintings from last year to the latest series from this past fall/winter that are rich in color but still unique from my earlier work. As I see it, life is a series of transitions- each one leading to the next, each one teaching us and making us stronger. I find this to be true in my art as well-each series of paintings teaches me something, making my work stronger in the end. Enjoy!

It's been a while!

I haven't posted to my blog in quite a while. I have been overwhelmed with starting the new clothing line BeatRed Designs and preparing for art exhibits. So, for those of who who haven't seen anything bew in a while I apologize! Here is a new piece for you to view. This one is dedicated to my Grandmother who recently passed away. Hope you enjoy it!

More Collaborative Art

For those of you who do not know I have started a series of collaborative paintings with my 5 year old nephew. This is #2 in the series. He does the drawing and I add the paint. I really like how this one came out-I am going to get to work on some more in this series-I believe there will be a 7 pieces all together. If you look closely you can see one of his little people in it. He also worked his name in there too-see if you can find it! I love children's art and I adore my nephew. When I told him my idea he loved it and went right to work on the drawings. I don't have titles for these yet-I think I will work with him on that after they are complete. Some more will be coming your way soon! Enjoy!

Another dose of BeatRed Designs

Here is another clothing design from BeatRed. This is available on t-shirts, bandanas, mousepads, and other items in the future. I wanted to do some designs that were typical tattoo designs with my own twist. I would love some feedback from you! Tell me what you think. Enjoy!

Alignment

Getting our lives to the point where everything is aligned properly, where everything is balanced just right seems impossible sometimes. We may be at a point in life when everything seems out of whack. I am sure most (if not all) of us have been there.
When we least expect it, everything starts changing and everything falls into place. It's as if each aspect of our lives is it's own planet-as one shifts into place another follows until all of our "little planets" are perfectly aligned in our "little universe." All is right with the world. Hope you enjoy this one!
*"Alignment" is currently on exhibit at Wired Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. Please stop by if you are in the area! If you are interested in purchasing this piece contact me at kkehs@hotmail.com.

Convergence

As I would usually give some background on the meaning behind the painting, I am going to do something a little different this time. I am always more interested in how others interpret my paintings. That is what I love about abstract art-it means something different to each person. So, I leave you to view "Convergence" and hope that you will send me your comments, feelings & interpretations. Enjoy!
