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 (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_KVttBk3u/?igshid=1qsgpc5lmlwia

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 .

Throwback... . This is an old digital piece I did based on a tiny, tiny reflection I caught in a photograph. The scene was wide with six or so people in it and as I was cropping the photo to post & tag the friends/family, I accidentally enlarged it 400%. I really love when something like that happens. This is the reflection. The photo is me, attempting to take a selfie with the gathered friends/family/pups in the background. The original photo came out alright and represented the feeling of the day well. This piece represents how the day felt for me. . . #hopewellkat #katbaileyartist #katbaileyauthor #hopewellkat #countrylife #countryartist #suns #love #flowers #joy #hope #acrylicpaintings #mosaics #lily #lilyart #grankatandlily #lilyandgrankat #concreteart #gardenart #treeoflife @katbaileyauthor @artezaofficial #colorfulpaintings @kylamariepillsbury .

Happy Mother's Day! . . Even though I don't yet exist when this photo was taken, it remains my all time favorite MOM photo. That's my grown mom sitting on my grandmother's lap among all the new babies. My paternal grandmother is second from the left, holding her baby, my Aunt Kay. Aunt Barbara, with Mark (far left); my mom's sister, Aunt Juanita with Sena, in the middle; and far right, my Aunt Betty with Frank. . I love this photo. . . #mothersday #mothersdayphotos #hopewellkat #katbaileyauthor #katbaileyartist #oldphotos #familyphotos #mothersandbabies #mothersandsons #mothersanddaughters (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXY0MGBfFD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ac6mt0p8tm1r
