"The Look"

Here is the first one in the latest series of nudes
I have been working on. I am really happy with this one-I love the contrast with the dark background and the figure-she seems to pop off the page. It kind of reminds me of a neon sign but with a sensual feel. To see others like this visit my website http://www.kellykehs.com/ . Which one is your favorite in this series? Wanna vote?

"Breaking Through"

There are paintings that flow easily and there are those that are a struggle from beginning to the end. I started this painting a couple years ago and put it aside. It just wasn't cooperating with me. So, I revisited it a few months ago and FINALLY I was able to complete it.

To me, this painting represents those times in life when we feel like we are in a rut. Something is not quite right and we know we have to change it. We have to break through that bubble that is confining us and keeping us from truly being happy. When I look at this painting I actually feel the liberation of bursting that bubble. Enjoy!

Wrongfully Acccused

As many of you may know, and for those who do not, I have been making my own line of mouse pads with images of my paintings on them. I have 14 standard designs and am also doing custom designs. There is one mousepad design that has BY FAR outsold the others, and that it "Wrongfully Accused." I wasn't really expecting this to be the most popular, but for whatever reason a number of people are attracted to this image. The interesting thing about this is most of the people who have chosen this mousepad are either lawyers or work in law offices. Even more interesting is they chose it before knowing the title! "Wrongfully Accused" is such an appropriate title for a lawyer or person working in law to be drawn to, but why did they make that connection with the image? I know what this painting means to me and why I titled it "Wrongfully Accused." What really interests me is what others are seeing in this image. What is your interpretation?
