KMD2257 Gold Rush

I seem to be stuck painting in gold! I am drawn to all of my incredible fall pictures and these yellow poppies which are so alive, bright and filled with sunlight. They make me feel warm and in awe of their beauty at the same time! I guess it is especially nostalgic as I watch the snow falling outside today.

KMD2256 Warm and Glowing

SOLD

While in Kansas City last month I photographed some beautiful trees aglow in their fall colors. I not only was drawn to the incredible fall colors of reds, oranges, yellows and every warm hue in between but the great shape and form of the trees. It is such fun to recreate on canvas the warm feeling I experience with the sun lighting up the fall trees.

KMD2255 Walk the Talk

Here is a little departure from my norm. I was fascinated with the reflections in the shiny floors at the Denver Art Musuem reflecting the various visitors who were visiting , wandering, looking, studying all the wonderful art. This piece is painted on stretched canvas on one inch stretcher bars with the image wrapping around the sides.

KM2248 Mirror Image

I have been busy painting for our holiday show at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery here in Denver. This is one of a series I am doing for the gallery, hence the size and price which are different than my daily painting offerings. I have been looking for new ways to see and express myself and have gotten really excited about viewing reflections of people in art museum floors where the final painting tells the story of the moment without defining all of the elements. I will be offering some as daily paintings again when I get caught up!

KMD2248 Spirited and Vibrant

SOLD
These poppies were so beautifully lit by the morning summer sunlight that I had to find a painting from this scene. I seem to be back on a floral theme again, but who knows what my passion will be tomorrow!!!

KMD2247 Pretty in Pink

SOLD
I found these pink poppies in a garden once again, in Crested Butte, Colorado. I was drawn to the blue background that made the flowers stand out and enriched their amazing colors. To the eye the flowers are pink but oh what an amazing spectrum of subtle pinks, oranges and yellows within the petals.

KMD2243 Dancing in the Sun

SOLD

There seems to be a renewed interest in my poppies which of course I love to paint. Perhaps as winter comes on and our surroundings succumb to the duller colors of winter (until the snow flies that is) it is nice to have the reminder of the colorful days of summer. It is for me as I look through my reference for subject matter to paint.

KM2242 All Lit UP

SOLD
Here is a scene from last summer in the town of Crested Butte. It was a plethora of painting subjects and I was drawn to the poppies being lit up with most of the garden in shadow.

KMD2241 Esteemed Golden Poppies

SOLD
I thought perhaps I should show that I do paint more than red poppies!!!
I was enthralled with the golden yellow poppies in this garden that were surrounded and contrasted with the wild delicate small flowers growing all around them. Maybe next spring I will get to California to see and photograph their beautiful state flower in full bloom.

KMD2240 Wild and Free

SOLD

These poppies were growing at our mountain cabin here in Colorado. In 2000 our place burned down in one of our terrible fires but since then has been rebuilt and once again we are very fortunate to have a little piece of heaven to escape to from the busy city life here in Denver. These poppies came up the year after the fire and are testament to how beautifully Nature regenerates herself and life moves on and beauty endures.

KM2199 Cold Winter Night

SOLD

In anticipation of the winter nights ahead I painted this image from reference I photographed late one December afternoon in Aspen, Colorado. Those same nights are almost upon us again!

KMD2192 Jubilance

SOLD

I find poppies everywhere I go. My favorite times to travel and photograph are in the spring and fall when the poppies are lighting up the landscape in spring and the aspen are aglow in yellows, oranges and reds. Obviously, I never get tired of painting these incredible subjects.

KMD2238 Glorious Fall Day

SOLD
I can't resist the golden trees nor the meadows of such warm glorious ochres, oranges and yellows that come alive in the fall here in Colorado. Just today I was walking my dog and just appreciating the brilliantly sunlit yellow leaves contrasted against our deep blue Colorado skies. I always hope my paintings can preserve these magical moments.

KMD2237 Joyously Becoming

SOLD
Poppies again! Just can't stay away from the bright and vibrant flowers. I have so much reference for these wonderful flowers that I honestly don't remember where I photographed these!
