KM2891 Spirit of Vastness by Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x40 landscape)

This is another painting that took on a life of its own. I had intended to have some moody clouds in this scene from Montana photographed several years ago. When I got the sky in and observed the movement in the sky from the color and brush work, I decided they told more than clouds would in this piece. I may do another with the clouds to see where it goes. I love the serenity in these wide open spaces where one can see only the natural landscape for miles.

KMA2890 Red Sky at Night by Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7 abstract landscape)

Another abstracted landscape. I am having so much fun with these landscapes. It is interesting how I become enamored with different subjects and orientation choices. This month I am drawn to strong horizontal images and working to make them less detailed without losing the feeling of the moment that I am capturing. Perhaps it is a reflection of my life, for I am wanting to do more serene subjects with excitement created through color.

KMA2687 Ethereal Aspen by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (abstract landscape 48x74, aspen)

This is a commission painted for the lounge in the Washington Park Grille restaurant, a neighborhood gem, on Old South Gaylord Street here in Denver. If you live in the area and have not been to the Grille, do stop in to enjoy a fabulous meal and see my painting. Commissions are always a challenge to meet the expectations of the client and I was thrilled with how this came out and how it enhances the space.

KMA2884 The Dreamer's Moon by Denver, Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7 original abstract oil painting, abstract landscape, landscape, abstraction)

 
 

SOLD

I was thrilled with the result of this painting. It started as a representational landscape from a photo taken in Montana at sunset but the painting evolved into this abstraction where one can ponder the sun or moon. I am doing a 30x40 of this as well. It is the direction I am wanting to go in my abstracts where there is enough information for the viewer to ponder the subject and let their imagination come into play. This one was successful because my studio partners looked over while I was working on it and saw that I needed to go no further, and yelled "stop". Thank you John and Kelly. Sometimes we need that feedback before going too far with a painting.

KMD888 'Ua'u Kani by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5 original oil birds, baby bird)

SOLD

With my great love for animals, it was such a treat to paint this little fellow. While visiting my wonderful friends Pat and Connie in Kauai, Pat and I went to Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse. This little fellow, a Wedge-Tailed Shearwater was resting on a ledge at the lighthouse seemingly oblivious to all of us tourists happily snapping picture after picture of him. The Shearwater got its name because it is a seabird that hunts for food by skimming close to the surface of the water, then plunging through the waves to catch the fish or squid it spotted from the air. "Shear" means to cut or slice through. This bird seems to slice through the ocean spray as it flies in search of food.

KMD2883 Lush July by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5 original oil landscape, Colorado vista)

SOLD 
As I am getting back to doing the smaller daily paintings I am going through my plethora of photographs from years past. There are so many fun paintings to be done from all the travels I have photographed that it is hard to choose. As spring seems so late this year I am sure I responded to the intense color and beauty of this scene near Gothic outside of Crested Butte during the wildflower season. Sometimes I wonder if anyone who has not seen this scene can believe it is really this colorful, but indeed it is.
