KMD2236 A Day at the Museum

SOLD
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!

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.

KMD2235 Joyous and Free

SOLD
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 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 gardener.

KMD2234 Lone Star

SOLD

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.

KM2030 Bursting in Vibrance

SOLD

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.

KM2226 Grand View

This scene is from outside the town of Gothic, Colorado which is near Crested Butte. The far mountain was a soft velvety green with a bit of the middle ground meadow lit up in the sunlight.

KM2225 Fall Glow

SOLD

Colorado Fall is so spectacular that it is hard not to just paint the fall colors exclusively, especially as the days get shorter and cooler telling us that we don't have many ahead like these perfect days with winter coming on.

KM2224 Poppy Reflection

SOLD

I have been getting ready for our show here at Brushstrokes Gallery so have fallen behind in the daily paintings! I took this photo last summer in Crested Butte and loved the subtle reflection of the poppies in the window. They were growing underneath the dark wooden windowsill and were a wonderful contrast to the weathered wood.

KM2223 Infinite Delight

SOLD
Back to the florals. I just like to shake it up to keep it interesting. One of the joys of being an artist is to jump around to all my favorite subjects depending on what strikes my fancy! Obviously, it was flowers today from an old photo I recently came across.

KM2222 Golden Days of Fall

SOLD

This is a study for a larger piece that I plan to put in our upcoming show at Brushstrokes Studio on October 17. We found this scene when coming off of Ohio Pass outside of Crested Butte last weekend. Ironically, my good friend Pat had been there the day before photographing and suggested we take a look ourselves. I had never gone over that pass and it was an incredible find. Of course, last weekend was just prime for fall colors and changing leaves and was awesome everywhere we went. Perfect Colorado days.
