Our Guy, Romeo___9x12 by V....Vaughan

"Romeo - Our Guy"____9 x 12 ebony on archival sketch paper___$75_L.W. has first right...! e-mail vvaughan8@yahoo.com
I have sketched Romeo before...he is our "Good Dane"...Lately he has been really "clingy", and I think it's because he got hurt a few weeks ago. I was out of town, and returned to find dear Romeo with huge blisters on his head! Romeo had sneaked into the kitchen while my husband was taking hot oil off the stove and they collided and it sloshed on the big guy's head (dog, not husband)...so now he is scabby....and clingy....see more on my BLOG

Romeo Below_8x11 pencil by V....Vaughan

"Romeo Below"___8x11___Just a drawing...$40
I ran over my phone today...crushed it nicely and lost all my phone numbers. Please e-mail me your phone number if youwere in my old data base and want to be back into my new phone vvaughan8@yahoo.com
Today’s drawing…Romeo is our "Good Dane"....we tell him he's "good" , not "Great", so he doesn't get a big head! He stays close wherever I am working. Tonight it's by the computer, below my feet as I hurried off to a football game! (Dragons rule, again!)
If you are near Austin, come to the demo Saturday at sunrise. I will bring some of the farm paintings from "Last Year on the Farm" for everyone to look through, if my demo gets boring :) Click here for details and a map http://www.pleinairaustin.org/ See all the "...Farm " paintings at my web site http://www.v-vaughan.com/ and note the many that are still available.

KMD2236 A Day at the Museum by Kit Hevron Mahoney

Last weekend I was visiting in Kansas City looking for fall tree reference. Since the fall colors still hadn't peaked we went to the Nelson Atkins Art Museum. What a treat for me, it is a beautiful museum and of course I had my camera and recorded this Mom with her 2 kids studying the large Monet painting. It was a must to paint!

Driving through Taos, and down the way from Act I Gallery is this nice little view, just off the road. The fall colors were just starting to show a few weeks ago.
IF YOU LIVE NEAR AUSTIN...I will be painting the sunrise at our old farm on this Saturday, Nov. 1. I'm doing a demo hosted by Plein Air Austin, a great group of painters that are dedicated to "getting out". Directions to the farm are on their web site. I will start just before sunrise at about 7:30. EVERYONE is invited and it's free for PAA members, $5 for visitors. Funds go to PAA. I LOVE to paint the farm, and morning is my favorite time there...I think I will do a "larger than usual" canvas...maybe :)

Trolley Tracks Acrylic 5 x 7

Since we don't have a trolley I was quite taken with it when in I was in Portland. With the fall foliage as a back drop to the city and lights of the trolley I thought that it would make an interesting painting.

ALL are welcome! There is a $5 fee to PAA for anyone who is not a member of the group. Bring your gear and paint along!!

KM2009 Golden Glow

This little oil painting was inspired from a scene while traveling in Montana outside of the town of Bigfork which is near Flathead Lake. This scene of the late day light was found between Bigfork and the entrance to West Glacier National Park. It was the time of day when the sun is going down, the day is cooling off and everything just glows.

Drive By Sandia__V....Vaughan

"Drive By Sandia"____6x8 oil on linen panel___SOLD at Act I Gallery, Taos
Did I mention that I am now represented by one of the finest galleries in New Mexico.
Act I Gallery in Taos, has my work, now and just sold this one. It's one of my FAVORITE "drive-by" paintings, and one I have a big canvas set aside for. I often use the plein air studies as reference for the big ones. Every stroke in plein air is a MEMORY of the day, and is BETTER reference than even a photo.
So THANK YOU to Anita and Dory out in Taos. Wish I was there to see those cottonwoods drop the rest of their leaves! ...oh, and THANK YOU, Irma!

"Early Thirst"___6x6 oil on canvas panel___$ 120 if you ask for it first ($10 to ship)
This one and the one yesterday were painted from sketches and from memory as I drove from Taos to Albuquerque a few weeks ago. I had been doing some business with "my" gallery in Taos. Act I Gallery represents my work there, now. CLICK to see what they have!I am VERY honored to have such fine people behind me there in Northern New Mexico. Taos is my favorite place in New Mexico...right near the heart of the most beautiful parts of the state. There are some fabulous galleries there and many of my favorite artists live there, including a special mentor to many, Ray Vinella. If you have never been to Taos, PLAN TO GO THERE! It's great ANY time of the year. My husband and I skied there first, as rookie skiers, before we understood what steep means to skiing! Every place else is EASY skiing, after Taos!

KMD2235 Joyous and Free by Kit Hevron Mahoney

I have painted a scene from this garden before but am drawn back to it because of the brilliant reds in the poppies surrounded by a wild, grasses and foliage. I love gardens that are just a little out of control that seem to express themselves as well as the intent of the gardner.

"Morning Meal"___4 x 4.75 oil on canvas panel____$120 to the first to ask!
Here's a juicy little painting that might take a few days to dry! I should have done an auction, since a wait will be needed before I can ship it. The paint is so thick :) It has been a golden fall, and FINALLY cool here in central Texas. Great time of year to enjoy family and football games (my son's Dragons won tonight!)...AND outdoor fall festivals! Join me in Waxahachie, TX on Saturday at the Texas Country Reporter Festival. I will be there on the courthouse square. I forget the booth number :(

Calvert Sunrise 2 __ __ V....Vaughan

"Calvert Sunrise 2"___6 x 8 oil on linen panel___v....vaughan __ $150 to the first to ask!
e-mail me vvaughan8@yahoo.com
Saturday's sunrise in Calvert, TX yielded two small paintings, both of which show the great color and atmosphere of the morning. See yesterday's post on my BLOG. Below is a shot at the easel and a few folks in the group...thanks for the pics, Charles!
The thing that caused the "ahhHA!" in this painting, was the scene itself! Someone in the group noticed the REFLECTION of the sunlight on THE GRASS! It helped that the grass was really damp from the dewy fog, causing reflection, but even dry grass would reflect the sunlight when it's this intense!
HEY TO FRIENDS IN the DFW area! THIS Saturday, Oct. 25 in Waxahachie is the Texas Country Reporter Festival! It features great food and music and some special guests (like me!). I will have a booth full of selections from "Last Year on the Farm", and a few other surprises! Please come see me on the courthouse square!
Have you checked the paintings on my son's project web auction site, Texas Louvre? Bargains will be there for just about 2 more weeks. I am adding a few more there tomorrow!

KMD2234 Lone Star by Kit Hevron Mahoney

I am beginning to catch up a bit and have been wanting to paint this little poppy since my September trip in search of the turning aspen here in Colorado. This poppy was so hardy and the last one left blooming in the cool fall days sitting adjacent to some aspen trees that I came across early in the morning in Crested Butte.

Buffalo Toddler Acrylic 5 x 7

This is another painting inspired from my friend's photography. This little guy was bounding around the grassy meadow heading west up the canyon from Denver. There is a buffalo ranch not to far from here where sight seers can pull off the highway and watch the buffalo. Rob Munger took some great shots and I am grateful for him letting me use them for my daily work. Thanks Rob!

Never More - October Raven

Never More Raven painting by Deb Kirkeeide
6x6 Oil on canvas board
$120 + $10 S/H

This little Raven painting was fun to paint. I used a knife this time. I'm liking the textural quality it gives the painting. Very visceral and somehow fitting for the season. Plus it's a painting exercise that pushes me out of my comfort zone.

To see more of Deb Kirkeeide's paintings please visit her website and blog. Thanks!

Downtown Calvert, TX___V....Vaughan

"Downtown Calvert, Texas"__8x10___ $350 unframed CLICK to see Brushwork
Saturday was a workshop day. My first in Calvert, Texas. Calvert is a neat old Victorian town on HWY 6 , between Waco and College Station/Bryan. It's not a ghost town, but each of these old buildings houses restaurants, shops and galleries. We met at Sonny Moss' Pottery gallery (beautiful work, Sonny! I love the piece I bought!), and chilled out after several hours in the field, starting at sunrise. I had a WONDERFUL and FUN group of 11 guys and gals...good painters ALL! This was a very strong group of "draw-ers", so I almost put them to sleep with a lesson on perspective. Part of the sleepiness was that we were reclined all over Sonny's sofas, and it was after a hearty meal at The Wooden Spoon, which is the yellow building in my painting above. I painted this one after our afternoon siesta....more about all that tomorrow!
Remember to check Tanner's auctions on The Texas Louvre today! Only two weeks to get great small paintings for micro prices! Help a college kid's project! See the galleries to "buy it now" BEFORE the works go to auction.

KM2030 Bursting in Vibrance by Kit Hevron Mahoney

This small oil painting is a looser interpretation of one of my favorite flowers-the poppy. I have painted many of these red European poppies and each time I do I like to look for new ways to interpret them. This floral was painted in a more abstract manner leaving the background loose in shape and form and letting the brilliant color of the flower to carry the composition.
