it is now 3:04am. this is the third nite in a row of a 3am bedtime (and no, the yellow poster board does not call for a 3am bedtime:)). i just sent my e-newsletter. if you’re not signed up to receive it, then you can see it right here!
Louise Hay + Kelly Rae = FULL BODY YES!
(Newish work, available in a variety of sizes here) I believe in making space. Sometimes, most of the time,...
thank you for your words. they so resonated with me. i just adore that new painting as well!
beautiful work dear kelly rae!!! you should certainly feel proud and i’m glad you’re letting yourself enjoy all the amazing work you’ve offered up to the world in the last few months. maybe your confidence and joy are just reflections of growth into new parts of your art/ words/ living and with that growing comes beauty and peace… and blooms. yes, blooms! so hats off to these paintints and spurts of growth and peace and contentment and blossoms of being proud. it’s joyous!
it’s really really good.
i love this painting. suddenly, your stuff seems so klimt-y to me. what beauty!
This has lightness and whimsy beyond, beyond, beyond. Your muse is a night owl.

Hi Kelly Rae — I love the colors on this painting too. I also wanted to say that I’ve seen a shift in the tone of your blog posts of late. You speak with greater authority now. I wonder if this has to do with having finished your manuscript? Or entered into that deeper season that’s beyond the “new artist” season you talked about a number of posts back? Anyway, it’s really cool to see that strength emerging from you, and I just thought I’d point it out, in case you hadn’t received that from someone outside yourself yet. 🙂
PS: My hub and I are considering Yosemite at New Year’s this year, and I thought of you and your hub while I was tooling around on the Yosemite website today. I may have read somewhere in your archives that you two have been there a few times for hiking, but even if I’m just imagining reading that, I can totally picture the two of you guys, in all your active glory, there.
surfing the web I found your blog and I just loved your work, it’s really beautiful, all your paintings, all of them are reasons to be proud of yourself!!!
Greetings from Spain!!!
I saw Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) on Oprah the other day and someone asked her about being selfish in the pursuit of a better life. She pointed out that in Mandarin Chinese there are two words for selfish: one meaning caring and nurturing for yourself and the other being hording and greedy. She said it’s unfortunate that the English language has morphed those two meanings into one word. I thought that was a very important thing to keep in mind.
Have a great show this weekend!!

3:00am bedtimes are a rather common occurrence for me, night owl that I am. But I’m trying to break myself of this habit. It wreaks havoc on trying to live in a world that doesn’t cater to such a schedule.
I’m glad you can allow yourself to feel proud of your work. It’s a gift we should give ourselves more often.
Kelly, I have admired your work in Cloth, Paper Scissors over the last two issues and just now discovered your blog. Today when I was looking through the issues again, something about your work just jumped out at me and the article in the Sept/Oct 07 issue seemed to be speaking right to me. I needed this today. Thank you for creating such beauty in the world.
very nice work! i like the texture of the pieces..
Kelly, I love this painting! Will you have prints?
We’re going to try to make it to the art fair this weekend. We have my niece and nephew this weekend, so we have to play it by ear.
I hope you’re getting some sleep. xoxo
