Welcome to Martha Kisling's Art With Heart!

As we are settling in to our new home state of Tennessee I have been overwhelmed with the friendliness and southern hospitality that surrounds us. I have found two new art groups to participate in and they could not be more helpful and accepting. One of the ladies has even taken me under her wing to show me all that the Knoxville area has to offer. Art has always been a way for me to connect to people in new surroundings and it has not failed me here!
Be sure to visit my blog to see past postings and more of my art and you can also subscribe to this newsletter if you haven't already. 

                                                                                   Happy fall!

Grandbaby Shower!

Our daughter Lisa and I gave a baby shower for Laura and Eric last month at their home in South Carolina. It was a coed shower so that all family members, friends and neighbors could help us celebrate the impending arrival of Ansley Grace. The weather was perfect, we grilled out on their deck, there were so many cute baby gifts and most importantly they were surrounded by love!

Invited Back To Breckenridge     Watercolor Collage WorkshNew DPW Auction
Creative Corner!
Acrylics & Collage

For my Creative Corner this month I combined acrylic paints and collage for a whimsical mixed media piece. I alternated between applying acrylic paint in a random fashion and glueing on decorative papers to create a fun and colorful bicycle. Yellow rice paper to suggest the sun and the word 'ride' stamped were the final touches!


Creative Painting Blog

Aspen Trees

I try to post to my blog several times a week to keep everyone updated on my art. One of the fun things about a blog is that you can view present and past paintings by topic or category - see all of my IRIS posts here

Oak Ridge Art Center

We are currently living in the small town of Oak Ridge, TN outside of Knoxville until we find a house and I was VERY excited to discover their Art Center. It was established in 1952 when Oak Ridge was founded for the Manhattan Project and there was a need for a facility to socialize, entertain and provide creative stimulation for the 'secret city'. It has been a lasting presence for the visual arts community and offers many programs and classes for artists along with a museum housing a world class art collection and rotating exhibitions. 


New in My Etsy Shop

As much as we are loving our new home state of Tennessee we still love the beauty of Colorado and will miss the crisp, cold mountain winters.

Collectors

Here are a few of the watercolors that were purchased during my Back To School Sale last month. I shipped paintings off to North Carolina, Texas, New York, Ohio, Kansas and Australia!


Fresh From My Studio

I began this painting by wetting both sides of the paper and working quickly to keep soft edges.
