Laying in Coral Field
15 seconds
Color, texture, and the power of motion.
Inspired by nature, crafted in acrylic.
Every painting is one of a kind. Kerry releases new work in seasonal collections and paints commissions for the rooms they’ll live in.
Review note: The hero now shows whole paintings, edge to edge. The soft backgrounds behind text sections are blurred crops of Kerry’s own paintings.
Current collections
New work, gathered by season. See each painting at home in a real room, or switch to the gallery view to compare sizes side by side.
Review note: “In the home” places each real painting into a room at its estimated true size. Seven paintings now hang in License to Linger’s own rooms; the small pieces still use web photos until their kitchen and office rooms are made. First pass at seasons, sorted by color. Kerry should move pieces between collections and rename them freely. Sizes are estimated from photos until each canvas is measured, and four titles are still working names.
Commissions
A small number each year, painted for a specific wall and the light in that room.
Share the space
Send a few photos of the room, the wall measurements, and any colors or pieces you love.

About the artist
Kerry Ann McFadden Channon
Art was Kerry’s first language. Long before she became a state champion swimmer, an ACC champion at the University of Maryland, or a marketing professional working with major brands in Washington, D.C. and New York, she was a kid whose drawings and paintings were displayed, exhibited, and sold throughout school.
She never stopped making. Between deadlines in the city, she studied original jewelry design under David Benlolo at Benlolo Studio in New York. When she and her family settled in Georgia, she turned to interior design. And eventually, almost inevitably, she came back to the canvas.
Today, Kerry’s original paintings live in homes across the country. She works from her home studio, where she lives with her husband Jesse, their son Everett, and their two dogs, Bowie and Birdie.

Review note: The first film is Kerry’s real clip, trimmed and compressed. The others are placeholders using process photos. Vertical phone clips of 10 to 30 seconds work perfectly here.
