Artwork for Super Hero Day at Chickfila!

I was hired by a local Chick-fil-a in town to paint their windows for their Super Hero Day event next Saturday. It is a great event celebrating the local police, EMT, Fire Department and military. People can dress up like Super Hero's and meet some Super Hero's and eat chicken!
Last Year I was hired by Chick-fil-a to paint the windows and large superhero banner's.  (Click Link to see post from last year http://kati-yates-art.blogspot.com/2012/09/chick-fil-superhero-day.html) This year they were able to reuse the banners and I painted the windows again with military emblems and public service emblems.

 In total it took about 12 hours to do everything.  I drew on poster board the emblems ahead of time to hopefully save time at the store and prevent spacing issues. I taped the poster board on the other side of the glass and then I outlined all the lines in black and began filling in with colors. I removed the poster board and painted white on the other side of the glass to provide a good base and keep the white from getting mixed up with other colors.

 If I had a little more time and height (I was feeling really short and pregnant while trying to reach the top paintings on the windows) I would have added a little more to some of them. Thankfully I had some wonderful help keeping me safe when I used the large ladder to reach some of the really tall places.

Super Hero Day!

Whole thing!

Here are four of the panels I painted last year.  There are two more panels not hung up yet.

Critique of Southern Collectors Paintings

BEFORE: This woman wasn't pleased being so small against the pitcher.  Having your work critiqued can be quite difficult at times. I had the opportunity to work with a writer who gives the best constructive feedback I have had in a really long time. She didn't nit pick, but rather gave helpful advice and things I could change in the paintings. AFTER: Painted over with her face instead of showing her entire self. Having to complete these paintings so quickly having her help was essential in getting the works done. I was  asked by the Thomasville Center for the Arts to complete this project. Before I left to go to Taiwan they asked to see my progress on the paintings. Unfortunately they weren't able to see them in person, but I was able to send them photos of the paintings. Most of the Southern collectors they know very well and some of the women I am working with are actually collectors themselves. While the Center is not commissioning me to paint these p

Baby girl painting

Image
My friend and I threw an Anne of Green Gables themed baby shower for a sweet friend of ours and I painted this for her girls room.  This painting is of a scene from the Anne of Green Gables movie.   This painting is a lot different then my usual subject matter, but I enjoyed painting it and most of all I am glad that it worked well for the room. One thing this painting brought to my attention is I need to continue to practice painting landscapes so I can get better at them.   Here is a picture of the painting in the room, I love how it looks with the color of the wall and the lighting is better in this picture. If you are interested in having a painting done for you or for a gift please contact me. I am reasonably priced and can work within your budget to make a great painting for whatever you may need.

Anne and flowers

I recently painted a series inspired by Anne of Green Gables. A buyer from out of state commissioned these after finding this very blog and seeing my previous work. She has commissioned  five additional compositions containing scenes from the book. I painted the work twice.  I am too appalled by the first one I made to show it to you. Let it be said that it is just horrible and I am glad I started over. Thankfully the other paintings started better than this one.   Close up of face Detail of the flowers  I am very happy with how the finished piece turned out and I am excited to be working on the rest of these paintings. I love this book so much, it makes me want to get the book out and get reading (when I should probably be painting!).
