KMA2854 Deeper Memories by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (36x36, acrylic, abstract, original art)

Continuing on my journey into the world of abstract I have created this painting out of total imagination. This is a huge challenge for me and this painting, I feel, is a breakthrough piece in letting the imagination free and judgement set aside.

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!

KM2754 Silent Thoughts by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (landsape, 9x12, oil)

SOLD 

Wow, I have not posted for quite a while now. It has been crazy keeping up with my regular gallery business which has taken me away from my internet business, but I am not complaining as it is all good! This painting is one I am thinking about using in the Colorado Governor's Invitational held next month in Loveland, CO. I am painting several from which to choose from for the show, unless this gets sold here! I am so grateful it is spring, the days are longer and I am savoring the sweet scent of new spring flowers when I walk Farley. It energizes me for this all the paintings I am planning. 12"x5" unframed original oil

KMA2739 Beyond Horizons (12x16, abstract, acrylic landscape)

SOLD

It is difficult to describe how I create my abstract paintings as it is such an intuitive process. Of course my results are a culmination of life experience and everything I have been exposed to in addition to all the art I peruse looking for inspiration. This painting evolved seemingly into a landscape and I let it "paint itself" once I saw a direction in it. I am off to some great adventures on Kauai with my good friends Connie and Pat. Posting will be sporadic for the next 10 days as I enjoy this vacation but know I will return home with yet many new inspirations!

KMA2734 Soaring Dreams (30x40 abstract acrylic)

SOLD

This painting was inspired from a small abstract that I created with my oil paints. Whenever I finish one of my oil paintings, I use the remaining paint to create a small abstract. I then choose my favorites of these to use as inspiration for my larger abstract paintings. It is such a great journey from leftover paints to a final creation. I never quite know where I will end. I really love the colors in this one.

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.

KMA2718 Unfolding (20"x20" acrylic absract by Kit Hevron Mahoney)

This is a painting done for our Painting with Passion Show.It is another one of my "intuitive" creations where I am working totally reference free and only with what speaks from within. It is a huge challenge for me with years of training where I paint using reference. It is fun and frightening to see what evolves. I am surprised at how I see abstracted figures revealed in many of these works. Of course the joy with the results is having everyone see from their own experiences.

KMD2727 Outside the Pub (London painting, urban, cityscape, original oil)

SOLD
While sorting through my London paintings for pictures of the red phone booths I came across this scene that really appealed to me for a daily painting. I think I might have to find more of these wonderful scenes as not only are they fun to paint but I get to relive my travels as well.

KMA2703 Looking Glass (abstract, oil, 4"x6")

Delving into the abstract brings me such joy as they come totally unbidden. These little paintings often generate ideas for larger paintings. This is one which I look forward to creating on a large scale. I really love the mix of color and shape this one has.

KM2553 Washington Park Boathouse (autumn scene, landscape, waterscape, original oil painting)

I can't believe how fast the summer is going and how far behind on my daily paintings I am. The good news is that I have been busy with commissions that have taken me away from my blogging.
I painted this nostalgic scene of the Washington Park Boathouse on location last fall. It was a perfect, crisp Colorado fall morning, a gift to be able to be part of the scene and to express the scene on canvas. It doesn't get any better!

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.

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.

KMD2523 Willow Creek Loop (landscsape, Texas Hill Country, original fine art)

I have wanted to paint this scene since finding it last spring on my visit to Texas and the Hill Country when the bluebonnets were in bloom. I was drawn to the amazing red cliff in the background that contrasted all the brilliant spring greens in the grasses. I loved the serenity of the slow flowing creek in the middle of the scene.
I have painted this larger and am showing it in our upcoming "Landscape Personified" show this Friday at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery.

KM2516 Glorious Summer (aspen, landsscape, summer, original oil painting)

Another in my landscape series of painting with larger, bolder strokes and lots of paint. I am so enjoying the way my paintings are going by using less definition and more paint. This is a scene found one summer outside of Crested Butte on Kebler Pass while photographing with my Brushstrokes partner John K. Harrell. It took us quite a while to get over the pass as there was a photograph every 2 feet!

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.

KMD2517 Summer's End (landscape, autumn, fall, river, original oil painting)

SOLD

Summer coming to an end always leaves me with some melancholy; I look forward to the perfect Colorado days ahead but dread the shorter days. There must be some childhood memory of the great days of summer ending and school days ahead.
This scene was done at Upper Bear Creek last week for the Windows to the Divine paint out hosted by Evergreen Fine Art Gallery. It was one of those perfect Colorado days and a gift to be painting on location.

KM2510 A River Runs Through It ( autumn, fall, landscape, original fine art)

SOLD

This abstracted landscape was rendered using a palette knife and lots of paint giving a very textural finish. The scene is from an area outside of Crested Butte, Colorado near Ohio Pass. This particular Colorado fall was spectacular and the colors in the painting really represent what my eye saw. I hope this year will be as awesome as I plan to go back to Aspen and Crested Butte next month in search of more gold!

KMD2507 Paris Rain (Paris, Europe, urbanscape, rain, original fine art)

SOLD

I had to jump to Paris for a day. Looking through my lifetime of photos from so many travels I think to myself how fortunate I am to have seen so many wonderful new places in addition to my beautiful Colorado. This photo was taken in Paris while wandering the Opera District and rain showers followed by sun all day. It made for some really romantic reflection subjects.

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.

KMD2501 Mr. Red (rooster, landscape, wildlife, original fine art)

SOLD

Last spring, while visiting the Texas Hill Country we stopped in Luckenbach, Texas, where Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson changed the face of popular music and country music. Although this is known to be the "Best Dance Hall in Texas" we wandered around the place armed with cameras which is where I found this fellow who did not want to pose for me. He had to give up and stop as I was too persistent for him!
