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.

KM2769 Into the Woods by Colorado Contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

This painting is a mixture of my representational and abstract styles. It is a rich mixture of textures created using a palette knife with some brush work. I have painted it for our 10th Anniversary Show at Brushstrokes on April 27. It has been really busy here as I get ready for the Brushstrokes show and the Colorado Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale that opens on April 28th. Guess I won't be taking any weekends off for this month!

KMA2633 Pure Beginnings (abstract, acrylic, mixed media)

SOLD
This is an exciting abstract that is one of my favorites. I used several different materials and techniques to create this unusual effect. I poured a clear poly resin on the top which makes the colors just pop and sing (not shown in the photo as the reflection makes it difficult to photograph). If you are interested in this piece I will gladly send a photo of the final with the poured resin top and the base that it is mounted on.

KMD2564 Chick a Dee Dee Dee (songbird, birds, wildlife, original art)

SOLD

This little Chickadee is titled after the sound these wonderful little birds make. They are wonderful little songbirds and here is a bit of trivia about them: On cold winter nights, these birds reduce their body temperature by up to 10-12 °C to conserve energy. I am on a bird run as they are such wonderful creatures and I hope my paintings are the next best thing to having them with us.

KMD2503 Vast Reaches (landscape, original fine art oil painting)

SOLD

Here is another in my 8x10" abstracted landscapes. It is a challenge to leave out all but the necessary detail to have it read and be fun for the viewer to engage and stay in the painting. I am loving working with more paint and larger strokes with the palette knife. Now to translate this to a really large canvas!

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.

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!

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.

KMD2427 Hen in Turquoise (Chickens, hens, landscape, China, animals)

I found this scene while on my trip to China in the ancient village of Zhouzhuang, an ancient water city that is called the “Venice of China”.
We spent over 3 hours in this amazing village with a plethora of painting and photographic subject matter. My travel companion Pat was amazed at how many pictures I shot of this one scene with roosters and hens, but the light was perfect and I had to get every angle!
Although hens and roosters aren't my usual fare, when I saw this hen surrounded by the colorful background I had to put it on canvas!

KMD2401 Amidst Chaos (Still life original oil painting from China trip)

Back to the routine after an incredible 2 weeks in China with a
lifetime of painting subject matter to explore. I have finally recovered
from jet lag and am busy painting for our upcoming show
"Artist's Focus" on November 6 at Brushstrokes Gallery.
I photographed this unusual still life while touring the Cloisonné Enamelware
factory in Bejing. It represents a setting I found next to where all the
amazing hand work is done.
I will be posting the larger paintings that I am doing for the show as I finish them.
It is great to be back!
