KM2042 Duke

SOLD
Here is a commission of Duke, an incredible Australian Shepard rescued from a shelter by loving parents to whom he gave so much love in return. He visited our mountain place here in Colorado every summer and was quite the loyal herder, keeping track of all the people that ever went hiking or walking. It was a big job as the hikers never stayed together, but Duke got lots of excercise as he kept track of each every person until they returned home.

KM2039 Listening and Waiting

SOLD


This little robin caught my eye and camera one spring morning. He is perched with such a look of anticipation that I hope I caught in the painting. Bird photos are a challenge but I am out looking for more all the time and know with the advent of spring I will have a great time just looking and photographing them to paint.

KM2015 Laughing in the Sun

SOLD

Last May while in Greece, I probably photographed every poppy that was blooming. They were not as prolific as I had hoped but such a beautiful contrast to the ruins where they would sprout and decorate the centuries old cities.

It is 7"x5"

KM1072 Paris Reflections

SOLD

This is one of my favorite scenes from a trip to Paris a few years ago. It was a picture in the making when the sun came out right after a rain shower leaving brilliant reflections that engage the viewer.

KM2047 Ocotillo

SOLD

While visiting Tuscon, Arizona several years ago I photographed the blooming Ocotillo. They are one of my favorite desert blooming cacti with their brilliant red orange flowers just sitting atop the long stalks of the cactus. The blooms may be small in size but not in the attention they bring to themselves with their luscious color.

KM2038 Growing Wild

SOLD
Every spring I seek out new places where the poppies are growing. I am drawn to the wilder gardens that have little structure letting the poppies and whatever is growing with them decide the textures, patterns and compositions that I may then photograph and put on canvas.

KM2024 Summer Glories

SOLD

Flowers are of course one of my favorite subjects to paint. I have been fascinated with painting more intimate views by looking close up and giving importance to the individual flowers I see. This viewpoint is created with vibrant color and texture to reflect some of the wildness in the garden.

KM2037 Vibrant Poppies

SOLD
I suppose my title for this is a bit redundant as poppies are naturally vibrant which is part of the reason I am drawn to paint them again and again. They are just nothing but a joy to paint as much as look at and keep me in such a good feeling place. I only hope they do the same for all who view my interpretations.

KM1057 Columbine and Paintbrush

SOLD
Our state flower, the Columbine is such a delicate beauty in contrast to the hardy and brilliant Paintbrush. These are found in Colorado in the mountains during the month of July in the higher country.

KM1058 Meow

SOLD
It seems there is no subject that is not my favorite. Being an animal lover I paint everyone I can get a good picture of. This was a commission for a cat owner

KM1054 A Blaze of Glory

SOLD
This Aspen scene was incredible. I found this area on top of Indpendence Pass on the Way to Aspen where my husband likes to ride his bike to the Maroon Bells while I stop every 3 feet finding yet another composition to photograph.

KM884 La Barca

Venice and boats!!! They are so seductive with such sensuous lines. I am drawn not only to their beauty but the reflections in the water that seem to double the beauty as well.

KM1047 Warm Silence

SOLD
Colorado provides an abundance of wonders in nature. Fall is especially magical when the Aspen turn to the multitude of ochres, yellows and oranges. Kenosha Pass, where this was painted is one of my favorite places to go.

KM1048 Last Light

I went through the Sand Dunes National Monument at dusk while driving home from a visit to Ann Buell Fine Art gallery in Ruidoso, NM where I show work.
Needless to say, my trip was slowed to a halt while I spent an hour photographing the incredible dunes with dusk light upon them.
SOLD

KM2033 Textures of Fall

SOLD

While on my daily walk with my little dog Farley, I saw this scene in the park where we go often. He was bored as I spent time taking pictures to help me remember the incredible mixture of warm oranges, reds and yellows contrasted by the more muted mauves. I am anxious to create a large painting of this piece in a more abstract interpretation rich with texture.

KM1020 Poppies Along the Wall

Poppies Along the Wall was inspired from a scene while visiting Telluride, Colorado last summer. It is a high mountain town filled with charm and I came across this scene while wandering around some of the side streets.

KM537 Spring in the Cotswolds

SOLD


Several years ago I discovered the Cotswolds in England thanks to my great travel companion Pat who finds wonderful places that we can immerse ourselves in behind the eye of the camera. This was just one of more than I have a lifetime to paint!

KM2032Along the Path

SOLD

This landscape painting was created from a photograph I shot while visiting Greece with my husband Jim. We visited last May when all the flowers were starting to bloom, both in the luscious potted flowers along the cobblestone streets and in the fields out in the countryside.

KM2003 Siesta Time

While on the island of Hydra in Greece and lost in the maze of winding paths I saw this burro leaning into the wall of a shady spot oblivious to our plight. He took my mind off of being lost and late for our boat's departure while I stood and photographed the sleepy guy. We did make it to the boat on time!

KM832 Spring's Warm Light

Late day always has magical light, especially in Provence, France. In my usual wandering with a camera in front of my face this was one of many beautiful late day scenes I found.
SOLD

KM1089 Greek Poppies

These red poppies were found in Greece on the Peloponnese where we visited last May.
European poppies are such a vibrant red, unlike any I find here in the states. They seem to grow anywhere from fields to cracks in the stone steps.
This painting is a study for a larger version that I plan to do and is posted on my website:.
SOLD

KM1055 Endless Summer

These wildflowers were blooming the summer following a forest fire. They are testament to the power and glory of nature.
SOLD

KM2016 Gazing

SOLD

Gazing is another inspiration from my trip to Montana, but this little guy was found when we went up to the Canadian side of Glacier National Park. The town we stayed in is Waterton and the deer are part of the small town that is surrounded by water and nature.

KM1056 Evening Descends

This painting is from a trip to Provence in the spring. I am enamored with the Olive tree orchards and love the mixture of the blue green leaves of the trees, the knarly tree branches in contrast to the brilliant red poppies swaying from the ground.
SOLD

The Aspen Stand

SOLD

This was a scene found outside of Crested Butte, Colorado one of my favorite spots to find incredible wildflower reference, but the Aspen in and amongst the whole area provide a plenitude of painting ideas both in the summer and in the fall.

KM2012 Grazing Time

SOLD


I painted this little guy from a photograph that I took in New Zealand while traveling with my husband a few years ago. I have so many photos from my many ventures abroad that I am planning a series of small paintings that are from all my favorites. It will be a challenge just to sort through my vast collection of photos, but stay tuned!

KM957 Paris Street

Paris is a city of a million paintings! This colorful scene was in the Opera district of Paris right after a small rain shower and just as the sun started to peek through the clouds.

I chose to paint this child, for he seems an inspiration to me carrying a load I never knew as a child.
