Frying Egg by Kristine Kainer

This egg is from my suburban chicken, Creampuff. Her eggs are exquisite (especially the golden yolks) and worthy of immortalization in art. This piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. It comes ready to hang.

Rooster

Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade)
6x6

Ten years ago, my family moved from the Washington, DC area to a farm in a rural part of Texas.  Of course, we wanted chickens.  Thrilled to learn that roosters are not necessary for eggs, we happily purchased a variety of young hens and soon began to enjoy the "fruits of their labor."

One day, a friend of my husband's announced that he knew someone who had too many roosters.  Would we be willing to take one?  Halfheartedly, we said we might be interested.  A week or two passed.  Then, our lives changed.  Upon returning from a day of errands, we saw a newcomer among our flock--a scrawny, white leghorn rooster.

This bird had issues.  It was mean.  And it didn't sleep.  The crowing began around 2 AM and lasted throughout the night -- ten minutes of the most maniacal screeching followed by twenty minutes of an uneasy quiet.  Then the peace would be broken again with more ear-piercing howling.  This lasted for eleven days--ten days too many.  Needless to say, it was me or the rooster.  I won.

As we ponder a return to the farm on a full-time basis in a few years, the thought of having a rooster has returned.  They can't all be like that first one, right?  Surely, the one we got was possessed, correct?  Please feel free to convince me!  Meanwhile, enjoy this colorful, QUIET rooster painting.  You'll have a great night's sleep.

Miniature Painting/ACEO Art Card #10 - Sunny Side Up


Acrylic on Bristol Series 300
2.5 x 3.5
SOLD

I love my fresh eggs--especially cooked in butter!  This egg, fresh from a neighbor's farm, was savored bite by bite early one morning with some homegrown, sauteed tomatoes on the side.  Mmmmmm....

ACEO/Art Cards - Sunny Side Up


Sunny Side Up
3.5 x 2.5
SOLD

As I mentioned yesterday, I have several irons in the fire.  Greeting cards (in the infancy stage) are a new way to introduce people to my art.  An even more exciting approach (in my opinion, of course) is my line of "art cards" which feature ORIGINAL works of art.

Art cards, also known as ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) are miniature original artworks that equal the size of baseball cards (3.5 inches x 2.5 inches). They can be collected, used as actual cards, given as gifts, or even framed and enjoyed for years to come.  (Ultimately, I hope my works will enjoy the latter idea.)


I began selling art cards on eBay (a common locale for ACEOs) a few weeks ago and have gained many new clients, both here and abroad. A few have purchased more than one for their own personal use.  Needless to say, I am quite pleased with the initial results.

I will post more of these little paintings in the coming days/weeks/months and provide links to the pieces that are currently available.  

Enjoy!

Two Fried Eggs

What could be better than a fresh egg, fried in butter?  Two fresh eggs, fried in butter, of course!

Fried Egg


Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
10x10x5/8

Fresh eggs from backyard chickens have spoiled me.  Their color, texture, and flavor are incomparable to store-bought cartons of questionable origin and ethics.  In honor of those hardworking hens, I have immortalized  one of their incredible gifts for my breakfast plate.

Egg Yolk, No. 1


Oil on cotton canvas panel, 6x6--Purchase for $100
Eggs must be my "comfort food." Though I've painted them numerous times (and am usually pleased with the results), I've labeled this as "number 1" because it is the first yolk I've done as a daily OIL painting.

Release: Cracked Egg, No. 1


Acrylic on Masonite, 6x6--View eBay Listing

I spent too much time on this one. A daily painting should be quick and precise (unless you are "into" impressionism). After six hours and numerous changes, I finally settled on this (and it looks impressionistic). I call it "Release" due to the fact that I was finally "released" from the personal chains that bound me as I struggled with this one, then finally shouted, "No more!"
