KMD2266 Sunlit from Heaven

SOLD

I am having such fun painting all these bright spring and summer gardens as the days get shorter and colder! But, alas, we are about to the shortest day of the year. HOORAY. I also wanted to shake it up and see how I do with acrylics, which this is what I used to paint this one.

KMD2265 Wonders of Nature

SOLD
Here are some Icelandic poppies that were so beautifully lit I couldn't resist taking their photo. They have been speaking to me to paint them for some time now. The colors are so vibrant and reminiscent of last July's warmer days!

KMD2264 Graceful Harmony

SOLD
I painted this little scene because I loved how soft and graceful the poppies appear against the green background where the viewer can imagine the actual greenery. I love to challenge my design skills by focusing on a close up view of a garden and create a pleasing composition that will keep the viewer engaged.

KMD2263 Bathed in Afternoon Light

SOLD

I just had to paint this tree again, but a different composition. The late day light so low on the tree just intrigued me and spoke to me to paint. Nature provides such a bounty of subjects to paint in hopes of capturing the moment in time that I see and want to preserve.

KMD2262 Painted Sonnet

SOLD

Here is a poppy painting seemingly like the last one I did but from an entirely different garden. Sometimes I scare myself that I find the same compositions and related scenes in very different places. I guess it shows what I am passionate about!

KMD2261 Free, Joyous and Vibrant

SOLD
I am getting many requests for my poppy paintings which of course is not a problem for me! It is such fun to look through my reference pictures and relive so many wonderful trips here and abroad, most of them with my good friend Pat who spends as much time as I do photographing everything in sight. These poppies were found a few summers back as we drove to Nederland, Colorado on our way to the Peak to Peak highway going to Estes Park.

KMD260 Last Rays of the Day

Week before last I was invited to a client's ranch outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and found it to be a feast of pictures, even in winter where I found the colors so warm in the brush and willows that were found along the Elk River. We were driven all around the property on an ATV...I got to drive one which was a huge thrill. That is where this painting was inspired.

KMD2259 Joyous and Jubilent

SOLD
Let's see, poppies......aspen.......poppies.....aspen. Looks like poppies won out for today's choice to paint. These are so bright, warm and joyful that I had to paint them on this very cold, snowy day here in Denver.

KMD2258 This Must be Heaven

SOLD
Besides my love for flowers and florals I do have a fascination with trees, their infinite variety of shapes and all the colors they present throughout the year. This beauty was found in a park in Kansas City with the late afternoon sun bathing it and casting long beautiful shadows. This is my favorite time of day as the world settles down plus incredible photo opportunities.
