KM2128 Side Street in Florence

SOLD

I found this little scene while in Florence, Italy wandering around and peeking into all the side streets which is where I found this little courtyard. What a scene with the sunlit walls, lush growth all around and the sense of wonder of what it is like to live there.

KM2127 Perched

SOLD

I am having a great time painting subjects other than landscapes and florals. It is great to expand my horizons and of course anything in the animal world is a passion for me. Birds are such a wonderful part of our world, seemingly so free in flight and and their songs in the spring are like a symphony on my walks.

KM2126 Storm is Brewing

SOLD

I did this painting as a study for a larger piece for Sacred Dancing Gallery where I show in Bigfork, Montana. The scene is outside of Crested Butte on Kebler Pass in July. One of our typical afternoon Colorado storms was moving in and lighting up the hillside which was contrasted by the ominous, dark gray,blue/violet clouds. I'll be posting the larger one I did on my website next week.

I forgot to photograph this painting before varnishing it, so there is a bit of a sheen on it from the light reflecting off the varnish. Got ahead of myself!!!

This scene was found while walking around the beautiful town of Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds of England. It seemed that every home we came upon had beautiful, luscious and prolific gardens.

KM2119 Fleeting Moment

SOLD
What scene this was last August while in Waterton, Canada, a little town in the Canadian portion of Glacier National Park. Watching the sun set with a glass of wine in hand sitting in the lodge that overlooked this scene was more than memorable and an absolute treat to paint.

KM2105 Warm with Spring

SOLD


This rich scene was painted from one of hundreds of pictures I took of this incredible garden found here in Denver last spring. It was a spectacle of oranges, purples greens in the form of poppies, iris and Queen Ann's Lace. I met the lady who has had the garden for many years and love the wildnesss of it. It has a lifetime of compositions to paint! Look for more to come in the future.

KM2118 Greek Church

SOLD

I found this scene last May while visiting Greece with my husband Jim. We were hiking one of the hills on the island of Hydra when I turned around and saw this church with the beautiful contrast of the white cross with the blue sky. I also as a painter was drawn to the beautiful textures on the hill in front of the church.

KM2117 Alive with Yellow

SOLD

Spring is in the air here in Denver today. Walking my little dog Farley I can smell the new life in the blossoming trees and see it in the vibrant colors of the daffodils, tulips and and hyacinths that are popping up everywhere! Thus, I had to do another floral to feed my soul!

KM2114 Sunshine on My Shoulders

SOLD
I seem to be hung up on song titles and John Denver's song, Sunshine on my Shoulders keeps playing in my head. I guess I am ready to be done with winter and have some spring days with no wind, and sun shining on me in 70 degree temps. This sunlit path makes me feel the summer warmth. I did this landscape from a photo taken at our Denver Botanic Gardens late last summer. It was one of those perfect Colorado Days my mother used to refer to as "Champaign Days"

It is a place to visit spring, summer and fall and is pristine in each season.

SOLD

The English are the ultimate gardeners! Springtime in the Cotswolds is a feast for a painter like myself in constant search of floral painting ideas. I could have spent far more days wandering in the Cotswolds with the friendly people, lush gardens, and just outside this town of Chipping Camden were lush green pastures with sheep grazing everywhere. I have a lifetime of paintings to create from this area.

KM2035 Wildflower Meadow

SOLD


The view atop Kenosha Pass in Colorado is spectacular anytime of the year. I am partial to the wildflower season in July where the abundant wildflowers are giving the illusion of a purple stream!

KM2102 After the Rain

SOLD

"After the Rain" is inspired from my first trip to Paris with my friend Pat who got me there in the first place. We walked and walked and photographed every square inch of the areas we saw.

KM2099 Sunlit Poppies

SOLD

This brilliant garden was on Queen Anne's Hill in Seattle, Washington. As one who lives in Colorado there is much envy for all the moisture that creates the incredibily vivid, prolific and abundant gardens found in the Northwest. However, I wouldn't trade all of our sunshine for the rain! Therefore I continue to keep the memory of the great gardens found in my travels alive on canvas!

KM2093 Montana Skies

SOLD

This is one of many to come from my trip to Montana last August. Montana skies are like no other (except maybe Colorado!!!). These clouds seem to be raising themselves to the heavens. I have always loved the blue skies contrasted with floating pure white clouds. What fun to interpret them on canvas. I will probably do a larger painting of this one.

SOLD
These incredible poppies were found here in Denver at our wonderful Botanic Gardens.
The gardens are such a gift to Denver residents and visitors to our city. They are a regular hang out for me with a bounty of colorful compositions to photograph. In my early career I spent many hours painting on location there and later teaching classes to other artists.

SOLD

This little painting is a subject that is one of my favorites: Colorado wildflowers. The Columbine and Paintbrush are two of my favorites that I seek out during the wildflower bloom.

KM2052 Warm Fall Light

SOLD

Anyone who has been to New Mexico knows how magical the light is there. This was an early morning scene I found several years ago while attending a Kim English workshop. I was still working in pastels then but saved the photo I took and have always wanted to paint the magic of the moment that early morning as the sun was coming through the trees warming a cool fall morning. It is amazing how a picture is so powerful as it brings back all the memories of that great morning.

Bursting with Joy

SOLD


With Spring almost here I am drawn to paint the colorful flowers that are soon to bloom. By March each year I get impatient for spring to arrive as winter seems to drag on. I just saw some crocus blooming in my next door neighbor's yard so I know winter is soon to be gone for another year. What a delight!

SOLD

What is about baby animals? Have you ever met or seen one that didn't melt your heart. This little fox just spoke to me to be painted. I could spend the whole time that I was putting this to canvas in a joyous state looking at the face of innocence, playfulness and no sense of time. Am I lucky to spend my days as a fine artist or what?
