KMD2941 Fleeting by Colorado Fine artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5, original oil, floral, poppies)

 
 

SOLD

I had to come back to my all time favorite, the poppy. With winter holding on so tight this year it is fun to look through all my colorful spring reference in anticipation of the longer, brighter and more colorful days ahead. The wilder garden makes painting such a free process with no real structure but an abundance of color and texture to play with.

KM2872 Spring's Infinite Glory by Denver Colorado fine artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (floral, 9x12, poppies)

 
 

SOLD

One of my latest representational works in anticipation of springtime. Spring is my most favorite season (if it ever gets here in Denver, although I am not complaining as we desperately need all the moisture from the snow storms). I can't wait for the progression of blooms that are coming, from the first brave crocus, onward to tulips and daffodils, crabapples, lilacs and then my favorite poppies. This time of year is so fresh and full of hope with all the new life coming forth.

KM2863 Enchanted Path by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x40 oil landscape)

This painting is of a scene from a late summer day at the Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver, CO. It was painted for the upcoming Colorado Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale that opens on April 27, 2013. This is a fabulous show that I am proud to be invited to participate in. This is my 11th year with this show.

KMD2927 Glowing Melody by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7, oil, floral)

SOLD
While waking my dog Farley after closing Brushstrokes for the day I came across this glowing scene of Lilies. They are such beautiful flowers growing and adding such brightness to the world, and seem to be oblivious to the heat that I am complaining about!

KMD2824 Nature's Rhythms 7x5 floral oil by Denver, CO artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

Another painting done from perusing my picture files that have been sitting idle for quite some time. I love the wildness and freedom that this composition represents. It is so alive and full of energy, rhythm and color contrasts. This inspires me to create a larger painting from this little gem for our fall show at Brushsstrokes!

KMD2820 Cascading Cosmos (5x7 floral, oil)

SOLD

I have had this picture in my pile of "want to paint" for a long time now. I came across it in my files that I was perusing as I was looking for another reference photo. It is good to do some housecleaning now and again for there are wonderful surprises to be found that have been totally forgotten. This is such a joyous scene as are cosmos to begin with.

KMA2720 The End of Silence (8x10 oil abstract red flowers)

I created this colorful piece with pure imagination and was thrilled with the way it came out. It is such a wonderful time when I tap into the inner self and the painting just flows out, seemingly without effort. Lacking words to describe what I am attempting I will use the words I found in trying to describe abstracted art: Abstraction generally involves implication, suggestion and mystery rather that obvious description. Like a good poem, a good abstraction attacks your feelings before your understanding.

KMD2627 Visual Delights (poppies, garden, floral, flowers)

SOLD

After painting so many poppies you would think I would be lacking for something to say about them, but they just make me feel good with their brilliant, warm and hot colors and delicate but hardy nature. I find the time spent painting them always uplifts me.

KMD2626 Springtime Wonders ( poppy, floral, garden, flower)

I am getting drawn back to the poppies as they are soon to bloom. The crabapples are fading along with the colorful tulips, lilacs are next and overlapping them are the poppies and iris. I had to jump start from a photo from our Botanic Gardens taken a few springtimes back.

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!

KM2570 Mountain Contemporary (mountains, landscape, abstracted)

I was commissioned to paint a 48x60 abstract mountain scene that didn't have too many bright colors (a challenge for me!) I did almost the entire painting with a large palette knife and one stroke with a huge brush loaded with gobs of paint. This was such fun experimenting with acrylics and the unforgiving palette knife tool.
I can't wait to get back to more experimentation.

KMD2552 Jubilent Poppies (floral, poppy, garden, landscape, original oil)

SOLD

Lately I have been looking through my zillions of pictures to try to organize them. It is an undaunting task upon which I have made little progress. However, I do find many old images that seem new now and get so excited about all the painting possibilities. This one caught my eye to revisit the cheerful and colorful poppy subject!

KMD2513 Greek Poppies (poppies, red, floral, original fine art)

SOLD

I wanted to challenge myself with this painting because of the warm reddish wall behind the bright red poppies. Making the poppies stand out against a similar color wall was fun to play all the different temperatures found in red! I was pleased with my result. The poppies, by the way, were found on a ruin in Greece.

KMD2509 Jubilant (yellow poppy, floral, landscape, original fine art)

SOLD

I have been having such fun with the abstracted landscapes
but I decided to go back to my other passion; flowers.
I really love the composition of this scene even though I no
longer remember where the photo was taken, but it probably
was shot at our Botanic Gardens here in Denver. I still strive
to go more simplified, using fewer brushstrokes,
each one applied with purpose. It is really a challenge and
keeps me from getting lazy in my painting approach.
