  • Dear _____, (so sorry I can’t remember your name!) Look what I found the other day!! LOL! Remember when you wanted to buy it and I searched and searched and finally decided that I must've painted over it. Welp...surprise! It only took me 16 months to find it. Better late than never! If you’re still interested, please DM me! LOL! And yes, I do have an inventory management system. But apparently I need to put a location device on each painting. 😀 Has this happened to anyone else??? P.S - keep flexin’ those muscles on the daily! . . Flexin’ - $4997, 40 x 40 . . #honestart #freedom #expressyourself #abstractartist #abstractexpressionsim #keepitreal #liveboldly #artist #jodiekingart #creative #artistsoninstagram #allthefeels #atxartist #artgallery #artlover #creativeprocess #modernart #internationalartist #originalart #rebel #danceitout #danceandpaint #liveoutloud #badass #artistatwork

  • Are you curious about the “Honest Art Retreat”? Here’s a few sneak peeks at our gorgeous retreat center on 290 acres in Upstate NY. The entire space is reserved for our group...but in an effort to hold space for authentic connection, we are only taking 15 people. BTW, don’t you think that studio space (scroll left) needs some paint splatters? Join my email list (link in bio) to be the first to sign up tomorrow morning! @drkathleenfunk we’re gonna have a blast!!

  • Bob Ross and I agree on a few things: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Learn how to use what happens.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Have nothing in mind when you start.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s where ol’ Bob and I disagree:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “If you feel good about yourself and the world….it’ll show in your painting, and all these good things will happen.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Really Bob? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cuz I can feel all good and happy with myself and stuff and my painting can still go to sh*t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know if you can relate, but while his hair was a-mazing, I think his way of thinking had me second-guessing myself for a long time...that maybe I wasn’t a “real artist” cuz 100% of the time my paintings would get dicey.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I know better: Expect it to get tricky.

  • I like my studio worn in like a good pair of shoes: A pair that you can run and jump and play in without getting blisters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's also a place of comfort and safety. A place to escape. A place to play. A place to laugh. A place to cry. A place to dance. A place to shake off the world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And most importantly, a place to sling a LOT of paint. #freedom⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #honestart #expressyourself #abstractartist #abstractexpressionsim #keepitreal #liveboldly #artist #jodiekingart #creative #artistsoninstagram #allthefeels #atxartist #artgallery #artlover #creativeprocess #modernart #internationalartist #originalart #rebel #danceitout #danceandpaint #liveoutloud #badass #artistatwork
