KMD3071 Pink Poppies by Colorado Contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7 oil pink poppy garden)

SOLD

Poppies still remain one of my most favorite flowers to paint. I came across these on an early morning walk last month with my dog Farley who impatiently waited as I photographed them. (He has much different preferences on our walks!)
There is nothing more invigorating than the cool, fresh spring and summer mornings with dew on all the new flowers and the abundance of new life everywhere. I think spring is my most favorite season, followed by fall which is reflected in so much of my work.

KMD2077 Proudly Asserting by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5, floral, delphinium, garden, nature, summer, flowers)

This is a colorful summer floral painted from a photograph taken in New Brunswick,Canada while attending a photography workshop. I loved the richness and lusciousness captured in the photo and fell I have translated that to this painting.

KMD30656 Redbird by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (6x6, Cardinal, bird, nature)

SOLD

I have been busy with some really fun commissions but needed to take a break from the current one. It is in the stage of "I think I have nailed it" but need to step back and evaluate how to finish it without overworking it. Painting this little Cardinal was a great way to divert my attention and keep the creative juices flowing!
Trivia: The cardinal is the only red bird in eastern North America with a crest on top of his or her head, which rises when the bird senses danger.

KMD2590 Waiting to Sing (birds, waxwing, nature, original oil painting

With spring almost here I am now hearing symphonies of the birds singing. I don't even listen to my music while walking my dog in preference to the music of these great creatures announcing the arrival of spring.
I have been challenged by my painting partner on this painting as to whether this is a finished piece. Let me know your vote and I will tell you ours!

KM2542 Gentle Soul (calf, animal, farm, original fine art)

I found this sweet little fellow on a ranch on Oahu, Hawaii while visiting last spring. This is one of my miniature paintings for my upcoming show at Brushstrokes "Gift of Miniature. I have been experimenting with new backgrounds when my photo reference doesn't have the information I like. I was pleased with this one.

KMD2527 Nature's Wonder (waterfall, nature, landscape)

SOLD

This waterfall was such fun to paint. It was as though I was right there with every stroke I applied to the canvas. Working from photos does take one to the place but I wish I knew how to put the sounds and smells in to. Hopefully my painting can stir the imagination to fill that in!

KMD2526 The Red Fox (wildlife, animal, nature)

SOLD

Back to my other passion; animals. I have wanted to paint this image since the days of film before the advent of digital cameras (that is a few years!). I took this picture one winter while my husband and I were on a cross country ski weekend outside of Granby, Colorado. This little fellow was passing by the remote bed and breakfast where we were staying.

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.

KM2515 Springtime in the Country (landscape, barn, countryside, original oil painting)

SOLD
As my life here has been busy I find that I am drawn to the quieter and peaceful scenes of the countryside. There is nothing like the nostalgia of a red barn symbolizing a way of life that we city folk romanticize. Just the setting, however lets us stay in our imaginations and in place that feels good.

KMD2514 Oregon Countryside (landscape, barn, original fine art)

SOLD

Once again, going through my photo reference I came across this romantic scene while driving around the Oregon countryside. I was drawn to the contrasting and complimentary green and red grasses surrounding the barn. The northwest has such deep saturated colors under the usual cloudy skies.

KMD2464 Curious (nature, cows, cattle, animals)

SOLD

There is something so heartwarming about a cow's gentle gaze. I'm sure that ranchers would think I am romanticizing these wonderful creatures but what can I say? I am a city girl and far removed from the ranch life. I am just an artist who loves to paint all living creatures.

KM2461 Tranquility (Nature, autumn, fall, reflections, oil painting)

SOLD

This is a painting I have finished to put in the 19th Annual 2010 Governor's Invitational Art Show & Sale at the Loveland Museum in Loveland, Colorado. The show opening reception is April 24. It is always an honor to be invited to this prestigious show.

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!

KMD2460 Red Crested Cardinal ( bird, nature, wildlife)

SOLD

While having lunch at the Contemporary Art Museum in Honolulu we were visited by these colorful birds who entertained us throughout our idealic lunch out on the lawn in the fragrant Hawaiian air. This is a Red Crested Cardinal which is fairly common in Honolulu. Also known as the Brazilian Cardinal, it was introduced around 1930 from South America. It feeds on seeds, plant matter, insects and fruit and anything from an artists luncheon!

KM2447 Monkey Pod Tree by Kit Hevron Mahoney (nature, tree, landscape)

SOLD
Back in Colorado after 6 glorious days of painting in Hawaii on the island of Oahu with a group of artists from Denver. This event was hosted by Linda VG Kelly who provided the most incredible paint out providing us with glorious spots to paint, 2 art shows and a wonderful cocktail party at her home on Oahu. She is a generous and gracious hostess giving us a most memorable experience.
This is one of my paintings done on the grounds of the Contemporary Art Museum of Honolulu. I fell in love with the Monkey Pod trees with their massive winding trunks and branches. It was heaven to paint in sunshine, with gentle breezes and no interruptions except the birds singing to us.

KMD2398 Busy Mom (Nature landscape painting in oil)

SOLD

While walking my dog Farley at the park last spring, we came upon this Mama duck trying to keep her ducklings swimming in the same direction. I can't believe I was lucky enough to be carrying my camera on the same day they floated by.
