Primitive Decor Abounds!

Here is what I am working on currently in the studio. Not just the paintings but, I have an idea for creating some hangers for the paintings. This is the one I did yesterday but, it seems a little flimsy.
I got the idea from my friend and artist Julie-Ann Bowden. If you have been following me for a while you know that I love Julie's work. I am saving to buy a commission from her. I am going to try something different today with the hangers. However, I am have a hard time getting anything done with all the end of the year activities with the kids.  I can't wait to have more time to work.

I did finally finish my first halloween piece of the season that I talked about in my last blog post. It is for sale on Ebay now ending on June 14th at 10:30 am Est.  I am still very excited to get things going for Halloween but, I am also having to roll some items out for Christmas as I will be advertising in the Country Sampler December issue.





This piece I think looks a little better with the hanger. Both the pieces are for sale at my Etsy Shop. Please check it out for better images.
Love to you all,
Kori

Okay, I can't wait anymore!!! I love primitive HALLOWEEN!

That must be why I have joined the group AHQU. Standing for Artistic Halloween Queens Unite. Here is our bootique!

But seriously, I know that summer just started (not officially) but, I can't wait for to start painting Halloween paintings. I love the feel of Halloween. To me it is the night that you can be whatever you want to be. I have never been one the bought into the whole scary, ghouls, zombies with fake blood thing. After all, who wants to dress up in something that is not going to make you look better!

So anyway, I just wanted to give you a sneak peek at my very first Halloween painting! A work in progress....

New Blog for Primitive Decor Lovers

I wanted to start a blog that highlights and inspires more primitive decor. I will keep this blog for my artwork and the new blog www.paintingprimitives.com will be more with my adventures. Each week, I will visit a Primitive Decor Shop in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas and feature it in my blog.
I feel that this will be great for everyone, my followers and the shop owners.  It gives the followers more ideas for displaying primitive decor and the owners free exposure.


This is the shop that I featured last week. It is the Canal Country Cupboard in beautiful, Saltsburg Pa.


This is my painting displayed with my purchases from the Canal Country Cupboard!

New Images Added to the Instant Download Library


I created this little painting some time ago. It is an example of the kind of painting that I want to get back to painting very soon. There was a story behind everything that was in the painting.  See what you can figure out. I would love to hear what you might think is going on!
Stay weird, Kori

Primitive Decor on the cheap


This weeks blog I want to talk a little about a new service that I am offering at my website  That is instant art downloads. Imagine the possibilities in being able to download a high quality image to your desktop and printing it right from your printer in whatever size and quantity that you need.

This is such a money saving break through for artists and their collectors everywhere. Why pay the middle man (the printer, the mailman)? The costs involved in printing at home has also become more affordable.   Check out Cartridge World to find some cheap ink in your area.

Every week I will make more images available so be sure to follow me on facebook, twitter, or here on my blog.

Hopefully, I will be able to do a regular feature with them. If you are interested in more information about my paintings please check out my website

New Painting


This week we are making up for lost time. The last couple of weeks, I have been very busy with visiting relatives and my son's birthday party. Now everything is back to normal and that is a really good feeling.
I have a commission to get started. However, I am excited to get started on new paintings. Nothing beats that feeling to me. Creating something new.
This painting is an 11x 14 acrylic on canvas with finished edges. It is for sale on Ebay under my id "mylittlecornerdesign" Wish me luck!
