KM2868 Standing Tall by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (40x20 Colorado landscape painting, aspen fall)

I have been busy painting for my new gallery in New Buffalo Michigan.
This is a Colorado fall scene painted in oil on a 40"x20" gallery wrap canvas.
Lately, I seem to be drawn to doing the tall vertical paintings. I don't know why it seems I find myself doing a majority of vertical compositions and then go through spells of nothing but horizontals.
I would love to know the psychology of what is going on inside that draws me to one or the other! If you are interested in purchasing this painting please contact Gene at the Courtyard Gallery  I am very excited to be a part of this beautiful gallery and artists showing there.

KM2831 Summer's End by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (8x10 original oil landscape)

SOLD

I have returned from a glorious week in the mountains at our family place where there is no phone or internet service. We had perfect Colorado blue sky days with cool mornings and evenings. It was great to take a break from painting and just enjoy my surroundings. I am now ready to go back to the easel and paint for Brushstrokes upcoming show on October 5th where we are painting a representational and its abstraction. A fun challenge. Meanwhile, here is a small one done from some great reference in late summer at the Botanic Gardens from photos taken a few years ago.

KMD2837 Warm Fall Day 7x5 original oil landscape by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

It is still only August but every day feels more like fall here in Denver which is inspiring me to pull out my fall reference. I love and dread fall. Love the perfect Colorado days we get, the amazing warm, glowing colors in the mountains where the Aspen turn to gold, but dread the short, dark days of winter which I know is not far behind. So, I will immortalize fall hoping the paintings keep me reminded of the perfect days we still have ahead.

KM2591 Steeping in Brillliance ( autumn, fall, landscape, waterscape)

I started this painting with large, thick brushstrokes but was unsatisfied with where it was going so I changed over to the palette knife and got a result that I am really happy with. I can't believe such a scene is in my backyard but this was found near my house last fall while walking my dog Farley. His insistence on a daily walk keeps me in shape and aware of the beautiful world around me!

KMD2588 Fleeting Moment (landscape, Southwest, original oil painting)

Once again I am having fun expressing myself using the palette knife as my brush. I love working from photos I took several years back in Basque del Apache in New Mexico. The fall colors are so wonderfully warm and vibrant that I am continually drawn to subjects with those colors.

KMD2582 Warm Reflections (fall, autumn, waterscape, reflections)

I painted this scene at the end of 2010 and just discovered that I had not posted it.
The subject, of course, is one of my latest fascinations.......patterns of color and design found in water reflections. It is exciting and frustrating to have so much photo reference accumulated and so little time to paint it all. It is a wonderful life to be passionate about creating as it is a continual learning curve with endless possibilities.

KM2557 On Top of the World (landscape, autumn, fall, aspen, original fine art)

I found these vertical canvas in my inventory and had a great time finding an image that spoke to the size and shape of it. It is always fun to break out of the habit of painting to standard sizes.

KMD2538 Washington Park Reflections ( landscape, waterscape, original fine art)

KM2537 Autumn Reflections (autumn, waterscape, fall, landscape)

SOLD

I am painting like mad for several upcoming miniature shows. This is for our upcoming show at Brushstrokes Studio-Gallery here in Denver that opens on First Friday November 5, 2010. I am enamored with the peaceful, colorful fall reflections scenes. I have done this scene larger and had fun putting it to a smaller canvas.
The other shows opening on Dec 4 are at Abend Gallery in Denver and Evergreen Fine Art Gallery in Evergreen, Colorado.

KMD2533 Fall's Riches ( autumn, landscape, Colorado, original fine art)

SOLD

I can't believe this is what is in my backyard! What a glorious fall we have had here in Colorado. Everyday has been so inviting to get out the door and walk my dog Farley in the rich colors and leaves falling like gold. Oh how I wish I could make these days go on for another month but I guess the short season of this beauty must just be savored before the snows fly.

KMD2525 Warm Fall Day (autumn, fall, landscape, barn, original fine art)

SOLD

This is such an amazing scene from a photo taken in the midwest that my good friend Pat gave me to paint several years ago. I did a large painting of this but some images just keep asking to be painted. This was one. Fall is so amazing in every part of the country.

KMD2493 Autumn Blaze (fall, autumn, original fine art, oil painting, landscape)

Sometimes it is relaxing to look through my actual photos instead of the digital pictures to see what I have that have never been painted. With the hot days of summer upon us I suppose I am looking ahead to the beautiful Colorado fall days!

KMD2462 Fall's Rich Colors (fall, colorful, landscape, nature)

SOLD

I am working on a commission of an Aspen scene and my client loved the colors in this particular piece so I thought it would be fun to do this as a daily painting. I am so passionate for our Colorado fall colors that I can't imagine surviving the New England colors!

KMD2448 Fall's Palette by Kit Hevron Mahoney (landscape, autumn, fall)

SOLD

I have a folder of photos that contains images I have always wanted to paint but have never gotten to for whatever reasons! This is one of the many that this Small Works Great Wonders adventure allows me to put on canvas. This scene is on a walk near our mountain place that I take every time I visit. In over 50 years I never have tired of the same walk as every season brings something new to celebrate.

KMD2443 Autumn on the River by Kit Hevron Mahoney (autumn landscape original oil painting)

SOLD

This is an amazing fall scene here in Colorado near our family property of almost 60 years now that I have been so fortunate to have been born into. I have taken the walk upriver every time I am there in every season and never tire of the new colors, smells and new growth I discover.

KMD2440 Natures Gift by Kit Hevron Mahoney (landscape, fall, autumn)

SOLD

I have always been fascinated by what Nature provides to us artists. I was drawn to this more abstracted scene on one of my daily walks with my dog Farley. We live near the High Line Canal here in Denver, which was conceived in 1870 by early Colorado resident James Duff, who sought to turn eastern Denver into profitable farming land. It was originally 74 miles long. It is rarely used now but there are some amazing pictures from it when it is running. The reflected foliage colors in spring and fall inspire many abstracted scenes for me.

KMD2435 Glorious Autumn (Fall Landscape)

SOLD

For this year's paintings I am going thru all my zillions of picture files and finding pictures to paint that have been on my list for years. My subject matter will probably jump all over the place which is going to be fun.
Fall in Colorado is so glorious with the changing colors of our Aspen trees. This scene is on Ohio Pass near Crested Butte a few years ago when we had a spectacular fall.

KM2400 Glowing August Day ( landscape original oil, Montana, fall scene)

I haven't found time to paint my little ones as I am still painting for our upcoming show this Friday in addition to supplying my galleries with new work. This, of course, is not a complaint......it is wonderful to have such a variety of venues to show my work and such variation in subject matter. I painted this for my gallery in Evergreen, Colorado: Evergreen Fine Art
I have painted this barn in a variety of compositions as it such a beautiful scene I found outside of Bigfork, Montana while visiting a few summers ago. It is available for sale from Evergreen Fine Art or online.
