Spring in bloom painting by Cassie Kinney


This is a painting I've been working since yesterday. I'm tired of looking at it, so I have called it finished despite the many flaws that remain. The painting is based on a photo from the early 90's of my brother and I among flowering fruit trees and tulips blooming on an Easter day where we were hunting plastic eggs.

Paintings by Cassie Kinney

Here are the paintings I done for family. I'm satisfied with most of them, and I am especially proud of the landscape painting of different deciduous trees.

Acrylic painting of my Grandfather

From a picture of my Grandfather in the '70s, I drew the painting you see below. Here he is in his 30s or 40s. He has his tongue stuck out and stomach exposed, as he usually does (even to this day).

The painting was done several years ago, presumably 2007 or 2008. I highly doubt it, but I may have even painted it in 2009. I used Acrylic paint, and the size is 10x12 inches. 

As of now, this artwork is one of my few completely paintings. I hope that changes in the next couple months and in the upcoming years...

Portrait painting of my guy

When I was working with Photoshop throughout High School, I used this command called "Threshold" which distributes the picture into two colors, dark versus light to create a high-contrast illustrative look. The painting in the photo below was once an image manipulated on photoshop using the same command. Then I translated the photo into a painting.
I have done several self portraits like in the photo below, you can see one of the paintings here "Self portrait sketches, painting & etching". 


The painting below is of my partner, James, painted in 2007.


A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of dark versus light colored pixels.
