Awesome!

[Kelly Blevins]

Hi folks,

A few updates:

Finished a new drawing "My Incisions", 22in x 30in, charcoal on paper. A month ago I had surgery to remove two lipomas, I couldn't draw on my big piece for a while. So, I drew this smaller one to keep me busy

I also created a brand new website that's easier to navigate on phones, and a bit less busy. Hope you enjoy: https//:kblevinsdrawings.com

Cheers

Hi friends,

Started to experiment with mounting vellum paper on MDO wood panels and constructing a thin floating maple frame. My first is a charcoal drawing of Fidel Castro 13in x 16in. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for taking a peek

Fabulous as always Kelly. The expression on his face is beautiful. You have captured what to me appears to be a mixture of sadness and reflection.

Thank you, Coach... That's exactly what I loved about the original image.

Stellar work as usual!!! :-)

[Kelly Blevins]

Hello my friends,

Recently I've picked up on a collaboration with a comrade from Pittsburgh. He does stellar framing, and has given me the opportunity to mount my paper on well made MDO wood. On top of that he frames my work in floating maple wood frames. It has been so inspiring, and I feel very lucky. Next week we'll be hanging a few in a pop up show here in Pittsburgh, so I don't have anything framed yet...will post soon with more pictures. Thanks for checking in

"Having a Crow on Hand" 10in x 14in, charcoal on mounted MDO wood paneling. (Personal drawing, NFS as the original photo isn't mine)





"Bite" 10in x 14in, charcoal on mounted MDO wood paneling.

[Kelly Blevins]

Hi friends,

Below is a collection of new works that I have mounted on MDO wood panel, and framed in floating maple wood frames. They are lightweight, and all the materials used are archival. PM me for further details

Thanks for taking a peek and enjoy,

~KB


"Winged Mime", 22in x 30in, charcoal on paper. Paper mounted on MDO wood panel with PVA glue. Framed in light maple wood, no glass. (However glass can be added by request or a framer would be able to do it easily.)


"Mine Eye", 10in x 14in, charcoal on paper. Paper mounted on MDO wood panel with PVA glue. Framed in light maple wood, no glass.


"My Incisions", 22in x 30in, charcoal on paper. Paper mounted on MDO wood panel with PVA glue. Framed in light maple wood, no glass.


"Crow Dance", 22in x 30in, charcoal on paper. Paper mounted on MDO wood panel with PVA glue. Framed in light maple wood, no glass.


"Bite", 10in x 14in, charcoal on paper. Paper mounted on MDO wood panel with PVA glue. Framed in light maple wood, no glass.

Here is an available drawing and a little bit about my dancing crows frame. PM if you're interested, and have a great day!

~KB

Description:

Ready to hang maple wood frame, sides are 1/2 in and the over all dimensions are 23 1/2 inches by 31 1/2 inches. The charcoal drawing is mounted on MDO wood paneling. The wood is sturdy, moisture and age don't have any effect on it. The MDO used on this piece and some others I have, were framed by The Andy Warhol Museum crew, and the wood is actually leftover from their framing department. If you would eventually like glass put in the frame, a framer should be able to do this really easily.

Hi friends,

Haven't posted in a while, been moving into a new home the past few months. I have kept up with some work, and am now settled in my new studio space. So, here's a little update on what I've been working on...

We found a box in an alleyway here in Pittsburgh, and it was full of photographs from the 1940's-50's. Some of them were so interesting I decided to start drawing them. There's no link to whom this box belonged to and it's been quite fun making stories up on my own. The first drawing is a work in progress still, and the second photo is of the mystery box. The third photo is of a commission I've been hacking away at of a sea turtle. Hope you enjoy, thanks for taking a look!

Hello everyone!

In January 2018, I started a charcoal drawing and have just now finished. It's the biggest portrait I've ever drawn, 5ft x 6.5ft. Titled: A Portrait of Jeff

Hope you all enjoy, and I can't wait to start a new piece!

Unbelievably good! I'm always amazed by your talent, I personally don't think there's a better female artist out there than you. I have a fantastic selection of Kelly's work in the gallery. Will always do a great deal for forum members.
