KM2183 Amber Skies

SOLD

Had to take a break from the Colorado wildflowers and Crested Butte and journey back to Italy for awhile. This scene was a late afternoon, early evening outside of Assisi, Italy while visiting a few years back. The late day light is so magical and that is my favorite time of day as the world seems to settle into a quiet time where one can hear their thoughts that get lost in the flurry of the day!

KM2180 Poetry in Purple

SOLD

This scene caused me to come to a screeching halt while driving to Crested Butte as the red and blue violet colors in the flowers were so intense against the blue, blue mountains in the background. Luckily for me and the other drivers there was place to pull off the highway so we could record it in photographs to be interpreted here on canvas!!!!

KM2179 Infinite Skies

SOLD

This scene was found along the highway in to Crested Butte. I love Colorado's deep, rich blue skies especially when contrasted with the bright cumulus clouds. I am always in awe of being in such incredible beauty. Painting that feeling is a real challenge.

KM2178 Late Day Glow

SOLD

Here is the first of many to come from an incredible trip to Crested Butte, Colorado, the wildflower capital. It was awesome - the flowers the weather the photography. This scene was found late one afternoon right on the outskirts of town, just walking distance from our motel. We stayed until we had no more camera batteries or sunlight. It was magical to sit on a hill and watch the sun set glowing different colors on the hills that were rich with Paintbrush, sage and other flowers.

KM2063 Utterly Simple

SOLD

I found this gem of a floral scene on a walk while in Greece. The background was as warm as the flowers making it a challenge to make the flowers come forward and remain the main focal point of the painting. It was fun experimenting with color and brush strokes.

KM2177 En Bruges

SOLD
This painting was inspired from a visit to Bruges, Belgium when I was fortunate to be there in the fall when the colors in the ivy covered buildings reflected so colorfully in the canals. It was magic!

KM 2172 Alive with Color

SOLD

Here is an exquisite garden that was found right here in Denver, Colorado. It is one of the most exciting spring gardens that I have seen in many years as it is so wild and colorful with such a beautiful array of spring flowers. I have done many paintings from this one as it had so many compositions to choose from.

While visiting the Garden of the Gods here in Colorado this little yearling ambered by while I was photographing the beautiful rock formations that are what make up much of Colorado.

KM2167 Brilliant Garden

SOLD

What a brilliant sight this garden was. I found it a few summers ago while venturing around the town of Telluride, Colorado. This beautiful mountain town had so many incredible scenes, not only in town with the blooming flowers but surrounding town are high mountains with Aspen trees, Columbine and Indian Paintbrush. Those are still to come.

KM2059 Guard Dog

This little guy was guarding his path in a small village in Provence. It is a challenge to photograph the dogs I find along my travels as they aren't impressed with my invitation for them to pose. Being such a fanatic dog and cat lover, I never pass up a chance to photograph them and hopefully get a chance to paint them. Doing these small studies gives me that chance.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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"!!!!!

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!!!
