"So Not Returning" By Kelli Miller

So I bought these shoes at Target with the intention of returning them as soon as I had painted them. After the painting was complete I thought hmmm they are kinda cool. All it took was for a fellow artist to tell me to try them on (they just happen to be my size). I am so not returning them!

"Sugar Berries" By Kelli Miller

The best thing about painting still paintings is getting to eat the set up! Most of my daily paintings are 6x6. This one is 6x8.

"Chillin' with Cherries" by Kelli Miller

I found this cool little bird in a garden store for only 6 bucks! I am sure he will be in many other paintings.

"54 Strokes" By Kelli Miller SOLD

Last year I went to Carol Marine's workshop. Which was fantastic by the way! She had us count our brushstrokes. That way each stroke had a purpose. It was a great lesson for me. So, this little pear was done in 54 brushstrokes. :)

"Emily" by Kelli Miller

8x8 oil nfs

What do you do when your daughter graduates college, moves across the country, thus making you a true empty nester? Paint her portrait of course! I snapped this picture of her last month when we were in Disney Word visiting my other daughter, Anna, (she works there). And now EMily works there too!

I typically don't paint people. This is maybe my 5th or 6th attempt. I still don't know how I did it.

"Angel of Patience" by Artist Kelli Miller

A fellow artist gave me this Angel. I have put her in several of my larger still life paintings. But I thought she deserved to be the star of the show!

"Trio"

This trio of fruit nearly painted itself!
