KMD2421 Montana Light (Landscape, barn, oil painting, Montana)








I took another break from China and painted this scene that I found in Montana several summers ago. The afternoon light was exquisite as the sun started down leaving long, warm shadows. I have painted this scene many times as it always takes me back to an incredible moment that was shared with my friend and fellow photographer Pat!

Memory Lane Acrylic 6 x 6 original impressionist urban painting








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

I know that sometimes when I am walking in the rain I take a walk down memory lane. It usually makes me think of my early years in Albuquerque, where rainy days were very rare. When it did rain from the heavens I was always splashing around in it and somethings don't ever change. I am a rainaholic!

KM2419 Washington Park Boathouse (landscape, Denver, CO, lake, original oil)



This painting was done "plein air" at Washington Park here in Denver, Colorado. The boathouse in this painting is an historic landmark that was built in 1913. In winter, it served as a warming house for ice skaters. It is located on Smith Lake and has a two-story lakefront façade and an open pavilion over enclosed boat storage. Currently, in the summer, boats are rented out from the boathouse to paddle around and enjoy beautiful views around the lake.

KM2417 Reaching Out (oil painting, child, China)



I had such fun painting this little Chinese girl who was helping her Mom with the daily chores. They were cutting and cleaning vegetables and so engrossed that this little one hardly noticed the sound of cameras firing off all around her from all the artists and photographers in our tour group. Although she sat on her haunches to help, I'm happy to report that her Mom was sitting in a chair! I can't wait to look through my reference for more of the children to paint. Doing some figurative work is a fun, new experience for me.

This painting is for sale in the 19th Annual Holiday Miniatures Show at Abend Gallery here in Denver and is sized 10"x8".

KMD2417 Reaching Out (child, origina oil painting)



Everywhere I travel I am fascinated or even mesmerized by the little children, they are so pure and full of wonder. China was no exception and the parents were all so proud of the little ones, just beaming, as we photographed them.

KMD2416 This Little Piggy (original animal oil painting)



We found this cute little piglet with his siblings while venturing around the outlying villages of LiJiang on my China tour. All the other piglets were shy and ran out of sight while I photographed this fellow. It was amazing morning light that lit up his pink ears!

Capital Gold Acrylic 7 x 5 urban impressionist original of Denver Colorado








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

The capital is a major landmark in the Denver skyline. It is one of the only gold plated domes in the country. Currently, it is in need of some serious restoration efforts but none the less it is a very worthy subject for a painting!

Lightly Treading Acrylic 6 x 6 Urban Impressionistic Landscape








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

I tried to create atmosphere in this urban landscape. Sometimes the feeling conveyed in a painting is the more important than how well I executed the painting. I wanted it to evoke a mood of romance rather than the hustle and bustle of a busy city street. Hopefully, one can sense the mood my brush is creating.

KMD2412 Just Glowing (Garden, floral original oil painting)









I have been so busy painting China for last Friday's show at Brushstrokes that I am finally coming up for air and have lots of new subject matter to explore in the days to come. This little floral scene is still China, at the end of the day in a marketplace where these mums were lit up from the setting sun.

A Thousand Stars


A Thousand Stars

A thousand stars
rain down
into her dreams

Each one a wish granted
Each one a dream fulfilled
Each one a kiss against her skin

She smiles
filled with the sparkle of their love
and she takes her place among them

Where she belonged all along

©2009 Deb Kirkeeide

My first attempt at poetry - and my first attempt at painting in a few weeks.
Be gentle please....

Wok to You Acrylic 6 x 6 impresionist interior landscape








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

Kit Mahoney, my partner in the gallery was so kind as to let me paint this from a picture from her recent trip to China. She said this chef was preparing her lunch during a break from plien air painting. Kit could smell the food he was cooking the whole time she was painting and just had to stop and taste this man's art. I can only imagine how delectable the food tasted when prepared by such an artistic chef!

KM2400 Glowing August Day ( landscape original oil, Montana, fall scene)



I haven't found time to paint my little ones as I am still painting for our upcoming show this Friday in addition to supplying my galleries with new work. This, of course, is not a complaint......it is wonderful to have such a variety of venues to show my work and such variation in subject matter. I painted this for my gallery in Evergreen, Colorado: Evergreen Fine Art
I have painted this barn in a variety of compositions as it such a beautiful scene I found outside of Bigfork, Montana while visiting a few summers ago. It is available for sale from Evergreen Fine Art or online.
