Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to Kate Tangney studio

Please take a look around and enjoy!

Packaging this little gem up today, to be sent to a lovely collector tomorrow 😉 This is the finished piece from my most recent timelapse, and I'm SO happy it found a good home because it's one of my favorite little dudes 💙 @jworiginalart it will be there soon! 🙂 .⠀ .⠀ "Untitled" 6x6" acrylic and ink on canvas.
I was tagged by the wonderful @pamelajbates to share my favorite tools, and I thought it would be a fun post for a Friday! My favorite tools are a mix of old and new. I love working with tools that are sentimental to me, and a lot of those belonged to my Dad. He was the one who taught me how important it is to care for tools so they last. So every time I don't feel like washing my brushes I imagine him giving me a big lecture 😆 ⠀ .⠀ • I paint primarily with palette knives, and these are my go-tos. They're named Big Bertha, Little Bastard, Pipsqueak, and Spike. Because I'm totally normal and name my tools 😜. ⠀ .⠀ • My trusty water jar that was my neighbor's (she lived across the street from us when I was growing up, and gave out lollipops to the neighborhood kids until she was in her nineties. Now my sister owns that house, and I live next door!)⠀ .⠀ • Tiny hammer that my Dad got me when I was 4 (I insisted on having real tools, so he searched everywhere to find a real, tiny tool set. This is the only remaining piece but it's super handy for installing hangers)⠀ .⠀ •House painting brush that I use for gesso. ⠀ .⠀ • Uniball Signo pen. I buy these in bulk 😂⠀ ⠀ •Not pictured: my Yankee Drill that I use to wire paintings, since I am terrible about keeping my cordless drill charged. That was also my Dad's, and is a wicked handy tool to have around!⠀ Sorry that was long winded, I have a lot to say about tools apparently 😂 Happy Friday friends!
I'm just going to leave this here... 😉 . . Link in bio 👉
Sneak peek 👀 Detail of a new work on paper that will be available @thehandmadepopup in November. There are a ton of seriously rad makers in this group you guys, and I'm already saving my pennies so I can buy all the things! #thehandmadepopup #shopsmallbusiness #mycreativebiz
So friends, I'm having a shop update on Thursday! This will be a partial shop update, because I decided to just do the damn thing instead of waiting (indefinitely) to have every. single. painting. ready to list. I'm posting all of my Ocean inspired pieces from this summer (including some new pieces that weren't posted on Instagram), as well as some fun handlettered swashes. Link to my Etsy shop in in my bio! . . Sidenote: I've gotten a bunch of inquiries about the Vortex paintings I've been posting lately - those will be listed at another time, once I can get them all photographed, and all that good nonsense. But if you're interested in a piece that you've seen in my feed, just DM me and I can sell it to you directly! 😉
