Newest paintings

11 X 14 acrylic and gouache on cradled panel by Kerry Steele "Satsuki Rain"
I have completed a few paintings recently. The abstract above sat unfinished for at least a month and I got back to it after the craziness of juried show submissions was over.
This one is in a regional show...
16 x 20 mixed media by Kerry Steele "Figure 2"

This is in a nationally juried show...

But alas, it is a difficult business and  up to the taste of the juror. These two were not accepted.

This last one makes me laugh because no one I know likes it. My husband calls it "Freaky Zombie Girl" !! Hahaha.
I'll be painting some rather large scale things in the near future. I am excited to stretch some raw silk on a 32 x 36 frame once the fabric arrives.

  2. I really love your newest one. I find this so brave of every artist. To just put your work out there and have everyone judge you....publicly.

  4. Yep, the last image, "Freaky Zombie Girl" is a perfect name for her. My favorite is the second image..."Figure 2".
