The Painting: Well, it is not quite done, but I am posting it since it is 90% at this point. It will be at the show in April so if you are interested,… now is the time to contact Pam to purchase it so it is marked SOLD as the show opens! She does the absolute best custom framing in the southwest… and a Berle wood frame would look stunning on this painting.

As my solo show approaches at great speed, I’ve been running left and right, phoning, listing, planning, scheduling, correcting, stressing, tweaking, thinking and writing ( most probably all in that order!)
The writing has been the new challenging fun part. After months of work, my book “My Colours of Graphite. Black on Grey on White”, finally boasts dotted “i’’s” and crossed “t’s” and looking (nearly) ready to greet the big wide world.
Once a date for the exhibition was set, it seemed like a nice idea to bring out a small book- a retrospective covering the last 15 years of my life. A very special and sincere way to pay tribute to all the people who have believed in me and supported me along the way.
It’s looking great, over 80 of my drawings have come together to show the world just how powerful a single pencil can be. As you can well imagine my scribble friends are on a pedestal as we retrace the 15 years we have spent together.
The launch is scheduled for the beginning of April…. Stay tuned.
If you would like to pre-order your copy please feel free to send me a note at info@sheonahamiltongrant.com

“They Stand, They Wait-Acadia” casein on paper 9 x 12″
Please join me at Åarhus Gallery for an opening reception Friday March 5th, 5-8pm for the second annual ‘44N 69W: Radius Belfast’. An all encompassing show running from March 4th through the 28th, featuring work by Maine artists. All artworks, celebrating this vast creative community, will be on view and for sale with 20% of proceeds going to food banks within a thirty-mile radius of Belfast. Last year over one hundred and fifty pieces of art were exhibited to the delight of hundreds of visitors, with consequent sales enabling a generous donation to the Good Shepard Food Bank. This year I am exhibiting a painting depicting carriage horses up at Acadia National Park, Maine’s crown jewel! We have spent many wonderful hours driving the carriage roads of Acadia ourselves. I will never tire of painting horses at Acadia! I am honored to be part of this great endeavor!

This past weekend was spent at the David Lipscomb Campus School in Nashville at their annual
Art Event. This shot is of my space at the show. It was a great weekend full of meeting many friendly art show attendees and some new area artists. One of my favorite perks of doing these shows is getting to know the artists that are set up around you. It’s a great way to connect considering that artists spend a lot of solitary time in the studio and the shows are a great way to catch up with each other. The people running the show at Lipscomb could not have been more kind or more helpful to the artists….that is so appreciated!

Consider this a postcard invitation to the online art show held by “Women Artists Of The West” …of which I am one! I feel very privileged to be a juried member of this National group of artists…even if I don’t live in the West , but in the woods of East Coast New England! With two paintings of mine in the show…..I am ‘hanging’ with a great bunch of women artists!
The past few days have been sunny and brisk around the farm, very wintry! But today dawned sunny and warmer! With temps up in the mid 30″s, way above freezing, I hiked out into the fields with the dogs and then on our way back I stopped at the barn and brushed two of our horses, old Dom and Duster our perennial 4 year old who is actually 24! My gloves and hat ..and face ..were covered with horse hair. Nell , our JRT had a grand time chasing hair clumps as they rolled around the paddock. She jumped with joy! I think I need to paint that scene!
I am working on an watercolor now of a Maine girl and her horse as they do mounted shooting. That is a equine discipline that is full of action and noise! and I am doing this while waiting for some casein paintings to dry. I am not content with only working on one painting at a time, and have to jump from painting to painting to keep my muse amused…..
Guess I have the attention span of a Parson Jack Russell Terrier!!

Please forgive me should this sound off key: not the world’s best trumpeter…
Two of my three entries have been accepted to this year’s Art Show at the Dog Show.
It’s tremendous news which has brought one beaming smile to a winter trodden morale.

Complicity and Tall Grace will be packing their bags (or rather packed into a crate) and flying off to the other side of the water, to Kansas.
Yipee!

Les straightening the pole-skirting.
The weekend flew by so fast as we flew back and both between Morrill and Augusta each day for the Equine Art Show at the Civic Center. I was so happy to have been included in this art show and for the chance to reconnect with old friends and clients…all the horse folks of Maine!! And I was so good… and did not spend any money on horse stuff…though I did lust over a few trailers there that would hold a pair of driving horses AND our carriage!!! I say that laughing because I need a bigger studio before I get a bigger trailer!!!
Today I finally got back into the tiny studio and to work on the driving painting that I am doing…24 x 48″ with casein. As snow fell over our farm, I stay cozy in the studio making headway on this small pony on a big canvas. There will be more to come…but this is where we are this afternoon.

Done a wee bit more on the “modeling” front.
The big news is that I have an extra room I can use. It’s much the same as the first one, bright and spacious. (the model is a guesstimate as it has not been measured yet…)
Overview of rooms #1 & #2
All has been scaled to 1/20 including the panels and the mini reproductions.
(Printed out my work, laminated it and then cut out each individual image.)
Each drawing was assigned a panel and stuck on with sticky tape.
As all is still temporary, found it very useful to be able to move everything around.
Panels with laminated print outs
View into room #2
Aerial view of room#2
Entrance view into room#1
Arial view of room#1
The wee men help to get a better space perspective, as chance would have it they are pretty much to scale as well.
Feel a little relieved to have such a clear picture of things to come.
All that’s needed now is loads more hard work.
Off to sharpen some pencils… Ciao ciao.

This year I have a my first solo show in many moons.
In the best location.
Nordrhein-Westfalisches Landgestüt Warendorf (The North Rheine Westpahlian State Stud of Warendorf.)
I plan to exceed expectations.
One of the things I am doing (to this effect) is create a scaled model.
Here are the first steps.
I have had two assistants: both female and both eager to have the last word. Our eldest is sick and off school and thought the idea of helping Mum quite cool and Jess well, she was in-between siestas and took it on herself to do the final inspection…
Seriously, before you all think me nuttier than I am, the reasoning behind all this is quite simply to get my head around the location. It is a nice big bright room, but one that has never been used for exhibiting anything never mind pencil art.
I believe this will help avoid a lot of complications at the time of hanging.
Tomorrow (another no school day) we will make the panels and maybe hang some mini reproductions… stay tuned

The New decade is here.
Hellooooo to you all, it’s nice to be back.
I hope you have all had a spiffing festive season.
Opened the studio doors, turned on the “puter”, paid the bills, read the snail mail and emails, sharpened some scribble friends and got back into steady action.
At this end, the year ended with cheap fireworks (some chaps thought they had the real deal and well…. at least they got more laughs than expected) and great studio news.
Drawing a Blank and Legacy will be published in what has to be the best book of contemporary equine art: Ex Arte Equinus III.

Throughout the summer, you can find my original pencil drawings and limited edition prints on display at the Health Education Building of the North Canton Medical Foundation. The North Canton Medical Foundation is one of the largest independent public healthcare foundations in Ohio, and the only one in the nation with a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) designation. Founded by Dr. Ralph Warburton, the facility has been open since 1972.
Located in North Canton, Ohio, the Foundation encompasses two buildings which include a Medical Center and A Health Education Center. Satellite offices which provide internal medicine and/or specialized healthcare services are located in Bolivar, Canton South, North Canton and Massillon.
Though a wide range of medical services are offered, the Foundation is more than just a high tech medical facility. Through their success and the continued support of faithful contributors, they are able to offer programs which benefit patients. Surplus revenue is reinvested into funds to assist those in need and to provide education programs that enhance the quality of life in the community. These programs include, but are not limited to: Charitable Medical Clinics, Prescription Assistance Program, Health Education Library, Community Education Programs, Health Fairs and Clinics and Physician Training.
The Health Education Center building, where my work is on display, is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm, and Saturday from 8:00-1:00. Artwork will be on display through September. All framed works are for sale, and brochures are available.Pencil Drawings by Kelli Swan.

I will be joining forces with the SPCA of Southwest MI this Friday night and all day Saturday in a booth on the Kalamazoo Mall during the Super Saturday activities downtown. I will be displaying and selling the images found here in the blog- originals and prints. Wish me luck- I only hope to recover the booth fee which is nominal, anything else is gravy.

Saturday evenings art opening was a great success. Great people, fabulous artwork, wonderful food, big Derby hats and a thrilling race! When we arrived there was a brass band outside dressed up in red and white stripes. The first person I saw was equine photographer extraordinaire Juliette Harrison. She made a rosette out of film for her hat. Very clever! Be sure to check out her website to see her wonderful work. Juliette Harrison Photography
That’s me on the left with my crazy Derby hat with Juliette on the right.
My derby hat. I found this hat in a consignment shop and then just stuffed it with fake flowers and rooster, turkey and Guinea Hen feathers. My roosters are not very happy! 
Juliette with one her entries.
Two of my pieces on display.The painting Eyelashes depicts an inquisitive little foal.
Below that is Power & Lightness which I have previously done a WIP here on the blog.
Tilly Strauss is a wonderful local artist who participated in the show. I adore her work as I find it both whimsical and haunting. It can catch me off guard and make me think. There is something in her work that I can really relate to. Be sure to check out her website and blog.
