KM2165 Watching all the People

SOLD
This little dog was perched on his step in Saint-Paul de Vence in Provence France. I am always drawn to the little dogs in Europe and love how they are part of everyone's lives. This fellow seemed to enjoy the people watching seemingly wondering what all of us tourists were so intrigued about!

KM2164 Morning Shadows

SOLD

I am always drawn to paths, roads and stairs leading me to somewhere. This is an ancient stairway found in Italy on one my trips to Tuscany. I love the mystery of what my lie just beyond. The light was so atmospheric the way it lit the steps in the early morning.

KM2163 The Fawn

SOLD
This little fawn was one of several found in Glacier National Park in Waterton, Canada.
I was with my good friend Pat with whom I do most of my traveling and photographing. Together we have photographed, edited, deleted and enjoyed thousands, and I mean thousands of pictures!!!!!!
This was painted from one of her great pictures. We found this little guy while walking early in the morning.

KM1088 Floating

SOLD
Here is another painting inspired from my trip to Greece last year. We stayed in Nafplio on the Pelopennese.
The city of Nafplio was the first capital of the modern Greek state. Named after Nafplios, son of Poseidon, and home of Palamidis, their local hero of the Trojan war and supposedly the inventor of weights and measures, lighthouses, the first Greek alphabet and the father of the Sophists.
There were many colorful boats were anchored in the harbror that I photographed throughout the day as we wandered around town. I knew I wanted to paint this one as soon as I saw it.

KM2028 Curious Gaze

While in wandering he narrow streets on the island of Hydra in Greece, school had just let out when I spotted this little girl standing secretly in a pose that leaves the viewer wondering what she is up to. Is she hiding from someone or waiting to surprise another little friend. I want this painting to keep the viewer guessing as to what was happening.
Enjoy

KM2162 Walking in Versailles

SOLD

I have had this scene on my mind to paint for many a moon. I was in Versailles, France several years ago with some really good friends and I loved this quiet walkway lined with the huge trees to shade the way. It was so pleasant after all the beautiful sights in Paris but I loved the quiet and serenity that this offered. It was early fall making it rich with the colors that were beginning to turn.

KM2161 Bob's Bonanza

SOLD

A few weeks ago good friends had my husband Jim and I over for a very tasty dinner and added to that was a backyard garden filled with red poppies, like the ones I have seen in Europe. What a gift to have good, generous friends who fill your hearts, stomach and soul!!!!

KM2066 Nature's Wonder

SOLD

The Columbine, Colorado's state flower is almost orchid like to me. It stands so tall and proud in and amongst the aspen trees. The wild Columbine found in the Colorado mountains are always lavendar and white with the yellow stamens. Painting just one flower seems like a great tribute to the individual beauty these flowers bring us.

KM2160 Sea of Color

I loved the combination of purples and yellows flowing in this scene. I found it in Keukenhoff Gardens, Holland several years ago while visiting Amsterdam. This was a wilder scene found in and amongst the incredible tulip beds, color and abundance beyond belief.

KM2157 Vernazza Pathway

This scene was found while in Italy with my painting partners John and Anita a few years ago. We had such an amazing trip with the opportunity to experience Venice, Cinque Terre and Tuscany. This painting was inspired from a walk up and out of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre on our first evening there.

KM2159 Glories of July

SOLD

Here is another Gallery painting of one of Colorado's most glorious spots in July: Shrine Pass. It is covered with wildflowers and abundant with the glorious Indian Paintbrush contrasted with the heavenly purples of flowers whose name I don't recall at the moment! This painting will go to Sacred Dancing Gallery in Montana.

KM2154 Iris and Iris

SOLD



Here is a more abstract interpretation of some beautiful and vibrant sunlit Iris that I photographed and then painted last week. It has been a late spring here with lower than average temperatures and everything seems to be blooming later than usual. I loved the colors of these Iris and had a great time doing a looser interpretation of them than usual.

KM2156 July's Wonder

SOLD
I decided to post one that I have painted for my gallery, Brushstrokes, here in Denver. This fresh scene was from a photo taken in July last year outside of Crested Butte when the wildflowers were blooming in abundance. What a scene of fresh, colorful wildflowers on the hillside with our incredible Colorado blue skies. I don't know if it gets any better!

Children at the beach, usually covered in sand and soooo happy. I had a great time painting this little guy at surf's edge bringing back memories of walking the beach and watching all the children so full of delight!

KM2148 Early Evening View

SOLD

While my husband and I were strolling in the early evening in Napflio, Greece last year I found so many scenes to paint that it is hard to know where to start!
I was drawn to the late day light on this mosque and of course stopped by the flowers as well.

KM2147 Aspen and Shadows

SOLD

This scene was found on a gorgeous fall day here in Colorado near Mount Evans. I have been wanting to paint it since I photographed it last fall, so now that spring is here and there are a million flower paintings to do, I for some odd reason (and I don't know why) chose to do this one.

When not looking for flowers I find the aspen such a joy to paint. This is a little summer scene with the fabulous bright red Indian Paintbrush that are such a beautiful spice to this scene.

KM2145 Window Shopping

SOLD

I thought I'd take a break from my Playa pictures and do a small street scene from my Paris pictures. The rain had just stopped leaving wonderful reflections in the wet sidewalks. It was October and the sun came in and out of the rain showers. My arm got worn out pulling the camera in and out from under my coat to keep it dry but I had to be quick as the conditions changed so fast.

KM2144 Sweet Dreams

SOLD

I love the way cats and dogs join in when dining out in places I travel to outside of our country! This little kitty gave up on getting any stray tidbits from our table where we were dining and laid down next to us and nodded off. I guess that is the true meaning of the phrase "Cat Nap"!!!!!

KM2143 Beach Towels

What a scene, the brightly colored swimming towels drying on the rail of the thatched roof hut! How could I resist. Obviously I am still in Playa del Carmen having a ball putting all the great imagery to canvas!

KM2140 Beachcombing

SOLD

If it isn't obvious yet, I am totally drawn to the beach. I can stare for hours watching the tide come in or go out while the waves wash upon the shore with the wet sand filled with its surrounding colors or refection of the skies. I was as drawn to these colorful thached huts on the beach. Of course, I am still referring to Playa. It is fun to get to paint so many pictures from a trip with these little ones, a luxury I don't often indulge in with so many other paintings calling to be done!

KM2139 Drenched in Sunshine

SOLD

I rarely paint a still life, but I couldn't resist this one. These bowls of fruit and avocados were on a sill where we entered a wonderful open air restaurant in Playa del Carmen a few weeks ago. What could be more visually stimulating and imagine what it did for the appetite!!! Here in a natural setting was a composition I would never have imagined to set up nor would I ever find the perfect lighting that was in this scene.

KM2137 Along the Beach

At last, I am back to the studio and getting caught up on my daily paintings as well as all my other paintings for my galleries. I had a wonderful relaxing time in Mexico, Playa del Carmen, where this scene came from. It was exquisitely beautiful, and doing justice to the white beaches, turquoise waters and last remaining thatched huts is a challenge.
With all my painting that I need to do for my galleries I will probably be posting every other day for awhile.
Enjoy!!!

KM2136 The Observer

SOLD

I have returned from a wonderful trip to Mexico where I did mostly.... nothing. It was a trip of walking, swimming, reading, eating, drinking and sleeping. Oh, I did manage to get a few photos as well, so I will be starting on those next week. Look for some beautiful new paintings inspired from that trip!
Meanwhile, this little guy was done before I left. I am having a great time doing these little bird paintings as I find reference for them. They are a challenge to photograph as they are so busy and never stay in one place for long.

KM2135 Ahh Spring

SOLD

Here in Colorado we have only been teased with spring this year. The other day, in between winds and rain and cold we had a perfect spring day with the sun and great temperatures when I was told about these incredible tulips that were in perfect late day light showing off the beautiful orange, tangerine and yellow colors that I have never seen before in tulips!

KM2128 Side Street in Florence

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!!!

"Poppy Fields" was inspired from a great trip to Italy one spring. Everywhere we seemed to go we found these lush red fields of poppies brightening up the landscape.

KM2121 Spring in the Cotswolds

SOLD

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. The English are wonderful, creative and experienced gardeners providing a wonderland of reference to artists like myself that love painting gardens and flowers.

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.
