KMD2378 Samantha by Kit Hevron Mahoney









This is my kitty Samantha, the gentlest, sweetest little friend one could ask for. I have painted many kitties of friends and that I have photographed on my travels, but decided it was time to paint my own friend!

I am very intrigued by the light and lights that appear at twilight in the city. I very much enjoy recreating their illuminant character on canvas.

KMD2377 Perfect Day by Kit Hevron Mahoney








Aptly named, it was a perfect day when I found this scene outside of Crested Butte near the town of Gothic. Pat and I had been wandering around the area and got caught in a thunderstorm. After is passed the sun came out lighting up the entire area that was filled with flowers and the atmospheric afternoon light.

Window to Poppies Acrylic 6 x 6








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

I just had to paint this window. It reminded me of when I lived in New Mexico as a kid and most of the homes were stucco with turquoise window panes. That coupled with one of my favorite flowers, I couldn't wait to recreate it on the canvas. Enjoy!

A Stormy Embrace Acrylic 6 x 6








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H




When you are caught in a sometimes unpredictable Colorado summer downpour your umbrella is your savior. I tend to be one that embraces a storm's power and beauty, and then try to capture it's personality on canvas.

KMD2376 The Grass is Always Greener by Kit Hevron Mahoney









This big guy, or gal came over to say hello when we stopped to photograph the perfect pastoral scene of a colorful meadow of flowers with horses grazing. Apparently what was on our side of the fence took precedence over our greeting! Obviously, I am still enamored with all the inspiration from the recent trip to Crested Butte, Colorado.

KMD2374 Illuminated by Kit Hevron Mahoney










While Crested Butte is a plethora of wild flowers, I couldn't stay away from all the flowers blooming in town. The poppies were at their peak in garden after garden brightening up the world as they always do.

KMD2373 Road in Paradise by Kit Hevron Mahoney









This incredible scene was found outside Crested Butte in the mountains near the town of Gothic. A storm had just passed thru while we were out photographing (attempting, unsuccessfully, to catch with our cameras an award winning bolt of lightening).
It is hard to describe the rich and brilliant colors covering all the hillsides and this is my interpretation of what I saw! It was a piece of Heaven.

Beach Play Acrylic 7 x 5








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

Capturing the innocence of a child playing on the beach can be a challenge for me. I tried to convey how her only thoughts were focused on the water and the way it played with her ball. Hopefully, I hope I have achieved my goal.

KMD2371 A Dream Come True by Kit Hevron Mahoney










I am back from an incredible trip to Crested Butte, Colorado which lives up to its name; The Wildflower Capital of Colorado. It seemed that any direction one looked it was an array of color and abundance of so many varieties of flowers. What a state I live in! I have a lifetime of painting inspiration from just this one trip! This scene was a field of flowers found while driving into Crested Butte.

Jade Mist Acrylic 6 x 6








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

In the crisp air of the Rockies summer rain is always cold. Even when it's a hot summer day in Denver the rain will be cold when it hits your skin. When I painted this scene I had to use a lot of grays to create a summer feel and be true to the coolness of the mist.

KMD2370 Garden Bouquet by Kit Hevron Mahoney









Recently I have been fortunate to be painting some dog portrait commissions and larger Colorado landscapes in the studio, so for my daily painting I chose a poppy scene to satisfy the floral passion. I really love all these subjects and can't wait to see what we'll find while visiting Crested Butte this next week. I won't be posting until I get back and will have lots of new inspirations to paint!
