KM2221 Colorado Fall









Here is my first of many to come from my trip here in Colorado in search of gold! I can't wait to get to more of my photos to keep living the incredible weekend of being surrounded by warm sun glowing thru all the yellow, orange and red Aspen leaves.

Also, the Daily Painters are all posting a painting with orange on Wednesday so go check it out there as well: Daily Painters Website
I realize I have more yellow than orange, but no one said how orange, so think of my colors as orange-yellow!

KM2220 In Morning Shadows by Kit Hevron Mahoney
















I have just returned from Aspen, the Maroon Bells and then Kebler Pass and Crested Butte, Colorado where I saw some of the most awesome fall scenery and colors. You will be seeing some of what I found later this week.
I painted this scene from a place in Provence, France, but I cannot remember where it was! I have so many pictures that now and again I pull one out that I have always wanted to paint but forget where I was as I seem to be enamored everywhere I am!

State's Gold Acrylic 7 x 5








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

Sometimes when I pick a composition for an urban painting the architecture is the focus of the piece. That happens to be the case here. The challenge is simplifying the building enough to make it compliment and fit in with the rest of the composition. By George I think I got it!

Made in a Shade Acrylic 5 x 7









$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

I am pretty taken lately with twilight time in the city and the effect the jewels of light have on the mood of a city scape. I was also intrigued with the figure in this scene because she still had her shades on when it was almost dark. Oh what fun to be so cool!

KM2219 Blue Door by Kit Hevron Mahoney
















I found this scene last year while in Greece wandering around the island of Hydra.
We arrived there by boat from Napflio, our home base. We spent the morning exploring the many narrow cobblestone streets where there are no vehicles and only burros for transportation. We were so entranced that we actually got lost and almost missed the boat home which wouldn't have been a problem for me as I still had lots more pictures to find!

KM2218 Afternoon Glow by Kit Hevron Mahoney

















The late afternoon light casts such great shadows and just kisses the tree tops. This moment was found outside of Lake City, Colorado last July. We headed out and ventured up Engineer Pass as the sun was going down into the last warm glow of the day.

Rocky Point by Deb Kirkeeide


This is another little scene from my trip to Lake Superior. Painted one afternoon on the beach. My biggest fan was a beautiful young girl and aspiring artist. She kept coming back and checking on my progress. I hope she gets the paints she wants for her birthday.

KM2217 Warm Afternoon by Kit Hevron Mahoney

















I did this painting in oil from another of those photos found in my home studio while doing some much needed cleaning and clutter clearing. I am easily sidetracked and had to paint this so there is much clutter to attend to still!!!
Anyway, I love the simplicity of this landscape with the arroyo leading you back to the cluster of trees.

KM2216 Afternoon Stroll by Kit Hevron Mahoney

















This little scene reflects how I am feeling here in Denver this perfect September day. Is there nothing more heavenly than a fall day when the air is crisp and the skies are blue? I just love the feeling of the days that have lost the edge of the summer heat and now the sunshine on your shoulders is welcomed in anticipation of the cooler days ahead.

KM2115 Dancing with Delight
















Another poppy painting? But of course, they are just such fun to paint and look at that I love doing them in between new ideas that are brewing. These poppies were growing wild in our Colorado mountains surrounded by wild grasses all of which were dancing in a gentle breeze.

KM2210 Vast Skies by Kit Hevron Mahoney

















I seem to be into skies recently. Here is one from an early evening outside of Crested Butte, the area that has provided an abundance of painting materials for me in my passion for the landscape. Later this month I will be going to Aspen and Crested Butte in search of the brilliant changing Aspen scenes. Hopefully the weather will hold and it will be a year of color!

KM2009 Lone Tree by Kit Hevron Mahoney
















I have painted over the original "Lone Tree" painting that I posted several days ago. I am striving to loosen up my brushwork which I accomplished in this painting but it felt unfinished to me. I have added more contrast to the painting without comprising the looser brushwork and I am very satisfied with the results of this little painting.
Let me know your thoughts!

KM2008 Carribean Skies by Kit Hevron Mahoney
















I came across some photos that I had taken quite a few years ago in the Bahamas. I was particularly drawn to this one because of the dramatic skies filled with the threatening storm clouds of ominous color and contrasting light. The out islands of the Bahamas have a lot of low growth so the beauty of the scenery for me is the luscious turquoise waters contrasted storm clouds, a result of the fast moving weather systems that blow through.
