​“We’re all looking at the same sun; it just has a different setting based on where we stand. May art be a unifier. In my landscapes, my focus leans toward the fleeting beauty that surrounds us. Through interpretations of place, I wish to allow the viewer a moment of respite in the bustle of our days: to celebrate the brilliance of color, get lost in the airiness of the sky, or bask in the quietude of our open spaces.”

Alyson Kinkade is a Colorado native who has been widely exhibited and collected throughout the U.S. since graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1999. Her expressionistic paintings are in the permanent collections of the cities of Paramount, California; Loveland, Colorado; Platte River Power Authority and Colorado State University; plus, collaborative painted/sculptures with Jane DeDecker at the Robinson Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Downey Theatre Plaza in Downey, California. Editorial highlights include features in Southwest Art and American Art Collector magazines. Alyson continues to create new works as a means to uplift, inspire, and connect from her Loveland, Colorado studio.

StartING 2023 with happiness

It's always good to start the New Year in happiness. The first pieces of the year are from my Happiness Is series of custom pet portraits. I've painted a few gifts for some people I admire as a token of gratitude for what they have contributed to my life.  ​I am releasing prints of these happy pups with proceeds going to the non-profits of their owners. (I'm awaiting written permission before publishing any names.) Just know you're helping the world be a better place when you live with my artwork.   Since the start, I've contributed a portion of every Happiness Is purchase to animal welfare non-profits and annually donate at least one portrait to fundraisers. My best way to contribute to the greater good is through my art.  This year, my goal is to double what I gave last year. Thank you for your continued support in my art and efforts to help others.

Sky's the Limit Commission

It's always nice to be commissioned for a custom painting, because it means people want to live with your art, which is always an honor.

Below is the full commissioning process of "Sky's the Limit".

​Feel free to contact me to commission something specific for your space.

Picture
Picture
The client shared an image of the space to fill. To determine the right scale of canvas - I superimposed some options. 72" wide by 50" or 40" high. We went with the narrower choice. 
After talking more with the client I learned more about what past work of mine they were drawn to, then compiled some digital sketches and sent these to get a feel for what composition best fits ​with their wants.
I was fortunate to be commissioned for a custom painting that would hang above the client's bed.  Below are images of the full commissioning process, feel free to contact me to commission something specific for your space. #LiveWithArt #CommissionYourOwn #AlysonKinkade #AKFineArt #Painting #Oil #Sky #Horizon #AbstractLandscape
​The sketch that appealed best - with a request for more emphasis on fluffy, bright clouds inspired by Colorado skies.

Picture
Once we figured the scale and composition they provided a deposit and I ordered the stretcher bars and linen, then began the painting process, first by stretching the linen, the priming with a series of coats of gesso that protect the fabric and begins to build the surface. I often work on multiple canvas' at once.

Picture
After Gesso, I switch to some colorful coats in Acrylic, continuing to build the surface and starting to introduce colors that will impact the final layers of paint.

Picture
The composition starts to develop at this stage in acrylic. Then I switch to oil for the remaining layers. 

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The client opted to have the piece framed so I provided more options in place, a floater frame, silver, or what they chose - a simple deep black.

Picture
The painting process continued until I was ready to send an image for final approval and set a time for delivery after some drying time and once the frame arrived.

Picture
The frame arrived, in a very large box. I framed, wired, then packed the painting for transport. *since I was driving it, I only protected the frame edges with bubble wrap.

Picture
It just fit in the gallery's vehicle. We learned 72" long is about the max for an Escalade. Then we were off to the client's home.​

Hanging the piece was fun with the client's cat Sumo helping. His approval meant the world to me.

The finished painting is called "Sky's the Limit" matching the character of the two, both as a couple, and individually. They are driven and ambitious people who continually look to dream big (clouds) and make great strides toward their next goal (horizon). The focal point is where dreams and aspirations meet.
