KM974 The Baby Bunny



SOLD
I found this baby bunny during the summer while visiting my gallery in Estes Park, Colorado. He or she was hiding underneath some plants in their garden. Photographing him was a challenge before he got spooked and hopped away.

KM2035 Wildflower Meadow




SOLD


The view atop Kenosha Pass in Colorado is spectacular anytime of the year. I am partial to the wildflower season in July where the abundant wildflowers are giving the illusion of a purple stream! I travel and photograph this spot every year and this particular year was the only time I found them in this abundance.

KM2103 Bursting in Orange



SOLD

Sometimes it is fun to close in on subject and just see it for its singular uniqueness. I was drawn to doing this little composition because of the new buds, seemingly drooping but ready to burst forth with new life and flowers.

KM2102 After the Rain



SOLD

"After the Rain" is inspired from my first trip to Paris with my friend Pat who got me there in the first place. We walked and walked and photographed every square inch of the areas we saw. This scene was on Boulevard Les Italiens and was so full of life and color which is doubled by the reflections in the sidewalk caused by a small rain shower.

KM2100 Rise and Shine



SOLD


Here is another painting of the bright red poppies I photographed in Greece at Olympia in the ruins. They were rising to the sky while staying cool in the shadows with just a hint of light touching them.

KM2101 Morning has Broken



SOLD

This little scene was found one morning while painting outside of Taos, New Mexico - the enchanted state and that it is. The light there is magical especially in the early morning and evening when the whole world there seems lit in a golden glow.

KM2099 Sunlit Poppies



SOLD

This brilliant garden was on Queen Anne's Hill in Seattle, Washington. As one who lives in Colorado there is much envy for all the moisture that creates the incredibily vivid, prolific and abundant gardens found in the Northwest. However, I wouldn't trade all of our sunshine for the rain! Therefore I continue to keep the memory of the great gardens found in my travels alive on canvas!

KM2098 Fall Road




SOLD


Fall Day is a departure from all the florals I have been doing this spring. This scene is near Mount Evans here in Colorado. I am always drawn to paths and roads in my compositions. I love the unknown of what might be around the next bend which is never a disappointment here!

KM2096 Nature's Variety



SOLD


Back to the flowers! I think I love to paint them so much as a means of keeping them blooming forever and they are one of the few things that do nothing but add color and joy to our lives.

KM2095 The Morning Chat



SOLD

Doing daily paintings gives me the opportunity to explore so much of my reference materials with a broad spectrum of subjects. This painting is a scene seen found one morning while in Tuscany in Italy with my studio partners John Harrell and Anita Mosher. We painted for our second anniversary show from the pictures we took on this trip. Of course Italy provides a lifetime of painting ideas and this is only one. There will be more!

KM2094 Night Bloom















SOLD


I was photographing late one afternoon into the evening at the Denver Botanic Gardens here in Denver when I came upon this brilliant water lily all on its own. This is one of the many scenes I have photographed that I have been longing to paint and voila, I finally got to it!

KM2093 Montana Skies



SOLD

This is one of many to come from my trip to Montana last August. Montana skies are like no other (except maybe Colorado!!!). These clouds seem to be raising themselves to the heavens. I have always loved the blue skies contrasted with floating pure white clouds. What fun to interpret them on canvas. I will probably do a larger painting of this one.

KM2050 Flourishing Pink Poppies


SOLD
These incredible poppies were found here in Denver at our wonderful Botanic Gardens.
The gardens are such a gift to Denver residents and visitors to our city. They are a regular hang out for me with a bounty of colorful compositions to photograph. In my early career I spent many hours painting on location there and later teaching classes to other artists.

KM2017 Colorado Summer



SOLD

This little painting is a subject that is one of my favorites: Colorado wildflowers. The Columbine and Paintbrush are two of my favorites that I seek out during the wildflower bloom. Painting these little gems in my Denver studio gallery brings back fond memories of the colorful wildflower bloom we get in July.

KM2052 Warm Fall Light



SOLD

Anyone who has been to New Mexico knows how magical the light is there. This was an early morning scene I found several years ago while attending a Kim English workshop. I was still working in pastels then but saved the photo I took and have always wanted to paint the magic of the moment that early morning as the sun was coming through the trees warming a cool fall morning. It is amazing how a picture is so powerful as it brings back all the memories of that great morning.

KM2092 One Spring Morning



SOLD

This brilliant garden was found last year here in Denver. The early morning light along the sidewalk and the garden wild with color and texture was irresistible to not only photograph but interpret on canvas.

KM2091 Esteemed Yellow Poppies



SOLD


These California Poppies were found here in Denver at our wonderful Botanic Gardens. They do a marvelous job for us artists passionate about flowers and finding incredible subjects to photograph and paint. I loved the surrounding purple flowers complimenting the brilliant yellows.

KM2088 Flourishing in Summer's Sun



SOLD

Spring is in the air here today with temperatures at last, close to 70 degrees. What a delight to spend time outside walking my little dog Farley in anticipation of the spring flowers that are about to pop up. This is a little preview of what I hope may come to us here in Denver.

Late Summer Bloom


















I am enamored with our Colorado Aspen in any season, but especially in summer and fall as my paintings express. This is another scene from around Crested Butte, Colorado near the tail end of the spectacular wildflower blooms that come to our grand mountains.

Bursting with Joy



SOLD


With Spring almost here I am drawn to paint the colorful flowers that are soon to bloom. By March each year I get impatient for spring to arrive as winter seems to drag on. I just saw some crocus blooming in my next door neighbor's yard so I know winter is soon to be gone for another year. What a delight!

KM2031 The Baby Fox



SOLD

What is about baby animals? Have you ever met or seen one that didn't melt your heart. This little fox just spoke to me to be painted. I could spend the whole time that I was putting this to canvas in a joyous state looking at the face of innocence, playfulness and no sense of time. Am I lucky to spend my days as a fine artist or what?

KM2081 Alive in Bouganvillea

KM2080 This is Greece



SOLD

I couldn't think of another title for this as it is to me typical of what I found in Greece while there last May. This little scene came from the Island of Hydra where there is no motor traffic, only foot traffic or donkeys. I could have taken many more photos but my marriage may then have ended! I do get carried away with the camera
