KMD2326 Hangin out the Window

SOLD
Today's painting is to express "stepping out of the box". I love the way dogs hang out the car window sniffing the air and figuring out everything about their surroundings with their noses! This is my dog Farley who goes nuts when we get on the mountain roads and he smells the fresh air!

Once again, a pastel garden scene with an array of colorful flowers just begging to be immortalized on canvas!

KMP5025 Lush Springtime

SOLD
For a little change of pace I am posting a pastel painting instead of an oil. This is a springtime scene from the Baker Street historic neighborhood here in Denver. Every spring brings a new array of painting subject matter. I can't wait to see what comes up this year, especially after our first good snow of the year.

KMD2320 Glorious Summer Morning

SOLD

Now that we are expecting snow in Denver (hopefully), I am jumping ahead to the cool, crisp sunlit mornings of summer. These hollyhocks were so beautifully backlit that they seemed to shimmer. It is a challenge to create on canvas what the eye sees and the spirit feels!

KMD2319 Nature Smiles

It is good to clean out closets and studios as one finds such so many photos that have been waiting to be painted! We are in the process of clearing out our basement space to make room for teaching classes soon and I have found so many things I didn't think I would forget when I put them away. Here is one.

KMD0548 Morning Bath

It is ironic that I have 2 cats and never have painted them, but on my travels I always photograph any kitties that will pose for me! This fellow was in Germany and couldn't have found a more perfect setting with the back light and a typical pose!

KMD2318 Brilliant and Joyous

SOLD
Yes, more flowers, and each picture I work from speaks to me giving me the desire to create a another painting and express my interpretation of each scene.

KMD2317 Around the Next Bend

SOLD

I have wanted to paint this scene since last summer when I photographed it outside of Lake City, Colorado. I went there with my infamous travel companion, Pat, after a harrowing ride in my sport utility up a really rough 4 wheel drive road. We were attempting to drive the Alpine Loop to the American Basin that hosts a plethora of wildflowers. Unfortunately we missed the flowers as there had been such a huge snowfall that the snow was still melting there!

KMP5030 Balcony Flowers

SOLD

This is a scene that I created in pastels from a trip I took several years ago to Savannah, Georgia. We were there during the Azalea bloom which was so magnificent that if I painted most of the flower scenes I found there, no one in Colorado would believe the rich abundance of blooms there. The combination of amazing architecture, rich history and lush display of trees and flowering plants was absolutely breathtaking.

KMD2316 Illuminated Poppies

SOLD
I painted a similar scene to this a few weeks ago and I was enthralled with the great light cast on the poppies in this painting. This created such a variety of colors that were such fun to mix on the palette and apply to create this scene. Nature just never ceases to amaze me and continually keeps me humbled when trying to create what has been provided for my eyes!

KMD2314 Poppies and Pickett Fence

SOLD

I have found another wonderful photo taken several years ago while visiting my stepson in Seattle. My husband and I took the ferry to the San Juan Island where we found this incredible scene. My favorite thing to do in the Northwest is to ride the Ferry boats to wherever they may take me! It is amazing how many places in the world that poppies grow and thrive!

KMD2311 Winter Reflections

SOLD

Since winter is on its way out I somehow was inspired to paint this scene that I photographed on the way to Taos, New Mexico a few years ago. I found the photograph while cleaning out our storage area in the gallery making room to teach classes there soon. It is such fun to find pictures that have been hidden away as I get to relive the time that I took it.

KMD2306 Rising Stars

SOLD

Sometimes the hardest part of posting these "almost daily paintings" is coming up with a title! Today I just let the first thing that came into my head while looking at this painting be the title. I found this line from a quote that sums up my passion for flowers: "vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth."

KMD2305 Follow the Leader

SOLD

The Daily Painters Gallery has a first Wednesday of the month theme and challenge. This month's theme is "Reflections." The first image that came to mind for me was the day I was in Paris (my first trip to Europe thanks to my good friend Pat) and it rained intermittently throughout our first day there. That left wonderful reflections when the sun came out right after the rain. I loved the small child leading the way in this scene!

KMD3204 Roses on the Fence

SOLD

Here is another scene that I have wanted to paint forever but for some reason had it on the back burner. These roses were so lovely, wild and colorful cascading off this wrought iron fence. I found them on a walk in Denver several springs ago. Hard to believe it is almost spring here again.
