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!

KMD2513 Greek Poppies (poppies, red, floral, original fine art)

SOLD

I wanted to challenge myself with this painting because of the warm reddish wall behind the bright red poppies. Making the poppies stand out against a similar color wall was fun to play all the different temperatures found in red! I was pleased with my result. The poppies, by the way, were found on a ruin in Greece.

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.

KMD2504 Warm Glow (landscape, original fine art, Southwest)

KMD2504

SOLD

Another in my series of the landscape abstracted. This was such an amazing scene that I came across several years ago on a trip to Taos. The late afternoon light was magical as it always is in New Mexico. I love the challenge of creating a mood and warm feeling with as few brushstrokes as possible (or palette knife strokes in this case)

KMD2502 Here's Looking at You ( calf, animal, livestock, cow, landscape)

SOLD

I painted this sweet face from reference taken last February in Hawaii while on Kualoa Ranch, which has been considered from ancient times to be one of the most sacred places on Oahu. It was a privilege to visit and have the time to tour and then stop and do some plein air painting there!

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!

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!

KMD2500 Vast Country (landscape, abstract, Colorado, original fine art)

SOLD

As part of my daily painting routine I chose to paint this landscape as an abstracted interpretation. I wanted to let the viewer become engaged in the painting with enough information that their own imagination can then keep them engaged to gow wherever it takes them. This was done with heavy paint using a palette knife to create the juicy and textural finish. Enjoy!

KMD2499 Texas Bluebonnets (floral landscape, bluebonnet, original fine art)

SOLD

I am finally getting back to last spring with the photos I took in the Texas Hill Country where the fields of bluebonnets were a sight to behold. We drove the Willow Creek loop outside of Fredericksburg and were lucky enough to be there at peak bloom. I am anxious to do some larger paintings from that trip as well.

KMD2498 Water's Edge (wildlife, birds, landscape, original fine art)

SOLD

Another scene found from my pictures taken on a trip to New England a few years ago. This graceful bird was found while driving some back roads in New England. It is difficult to get very far when traveling with me as I see a picture at every turn!

KMD2497 Sunny Side Up (Sunflower, landscape, floral, original fine art)

SOLD

I will occasionally be adding 8"x10" and 9"x12" paintings to my Small Gems blog for a change of pace from the smaller 5x7 and 6x6 sizes. This painting is 9"x12" and a warm colorful scene from some sunflower fields in northeastern Colorado. I photographed this scene several years ago when traveling to the Pawnee Grasslands to do some painting on location. The sunflowers are amazing in the way that they follow the sun so entire fields of flowers are all smiling at you at once!

KMD2496 Lost in the Moment (Sunset, landsape, autumn, original fine art)

SOLD

This was a magic moment in a New England fall several years ago. I was photographing with my friend Pat in New England when we came upon this spot where we sat in wonder as the sun adding more glow to the already golden landscape.

KMD2494 Mighty Oak (Oak tree, landscape, Texas, original fine art)

SOLD

While in the Texas Hill Country last spring I was fascinated by the incredible Oak trees. These noble trees whose branches intertwine in a calligraphic dance seem to hold years of wisdom. When observing them or painting them I am in awe.

KMD2380 Magnificent Columbine (floral, nature, flower, original fine art

SOLD

How I love the Columbine, Colorado's state flower. It is so delicate composed of beautiful whites and lavenders with the contrasting bright yellow centers, usually growing in and amongst our aspen trees but also in the high mountain basins.
Every year it is fun to anticipate their bloom.

KMD2493 Autumn Blaze (fall, autumn, original fine art, oil painting, landscape)

SOLD

Sometimes it is relaxing to look through my actual photos instead of the digital pictures to see what I have that have never been painted. With the hot days of summer upon us I suppose I am looking ahead to the beautiful Colorado fall days!

KMD2494 Texas Hill Country (landscape, paintbrush, bluebonnet, Texas Hill Country)

SOLD

I am getting back to some of the images taken last spring in the Texas Hill Country where there was an amazing array of Indian Paintbrush and Bluebonnets. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to travel to so many places accumulating a lifetime of pictures from which I continually find inspiration.

KMD2490 Washington Park Boathouse

SOLD

This was a commission done of an historic landmark here in Denver.This boathouse in located on Smith Lake in Washington Park. The boathouse pavilion in Wash Park also bears a bit of history and unique influence. Designed in 1913 by Jacques Benedict, the pavilion was based on the 17th century pavilion of Kara Mustafa Pasa at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. Today, the boathouse can be rented out for events or just enjoyed by us artists as a wonderful subject to paint.

KMD2491 Spring's Bounty (floral, poppy, garden, original fine art)

SOLD

While perusing some old photos I came across one taken in Seattle on Queen's Hill several years ago. The gardens there are so lush in that moist climate, an envy to us Coloradans, but then I prefer the sunshine and difficult growing seasons here to overcast and rain. It makes traveling to the northwest a much appreciated treasure!

KMD2489 Forever Brilliant (Fine art, poppy, garden, floral)

SOLD

KMD2488 Along the Canal (China, Suzhou, water, canal)

I am finally getting back to my small daily paintings. This scene is from a photo taken last fall while in China, in the village of Suzhou. This is called the "Venice of the east" with its narrow streets, waterways and small bridges. We spent several hours there photographing life in the village as the day began. It was a privilege to see this amazing village and its people.

KMD2487 Asciano (Italy, urbanscape, city, village, Europe)

SOLD

I had to do this scene from the large one I posted earlier. Normally, the daily (ok, weekly) paintings usually inspire a larger painting, but since I did this one large first I found that it spoke to me to go small. This is a wonderful little village on the outskirts of Siena, Italy that we found as the day was ending.

KM2486 Sharing Shells (beach, Caribbean, children, landscape)

SOLD

This is a commission that I finished recently for a collector who is giving this to his wife as a surprise birthday present. It is quite a gift as my partners Anita and John also each did a painting of the 2 girls, one was a portrait and another beach scene. What fun to capture the innocence of children playing.

KM2484 Asciano (Italy, street scene, city scene, urban)

Back to Italy for a change of pace. I needed some new work for Brushstrokes so I decided to revisit one of my favorite places in Tuscany, the little village of Asciano.
I have painted many scenes from this quiet, unassuming village and would go back to visit it in a New York minute!

KM2477 Reflections (landscape, water, reflections)

SOLD

Here is another in my reflections series that I am working on. I find the still waters of spring and fall reflections to be so calming which is one feeling I love to convey in my artwork, especially in today's frenzied world.

KM2476 Spring Bouquet (floral, still life, flowers, sunflower)

SOLD

I haven't done a floral still life since my pastel painting days. This was such fun to do because of the bright, spring colors and such a joyful combination of flowers bringing our much delayed spring into the studio.

KMD2478 Joyous Spring (garden, floral, poppies, flowers)

SOLD

I painted a large version of this scene for our last show at Brushstrokes, but had to do a small version for the Daily Painters since it is such a fun subject and composition. Spring is taking its time in arriving here in Denver. We had an incredible bloom of the crabapple and other friut trees all around the city until it snowed. Ahh, springtime in the Rockies. I keep hoping that if I paint enough flowers mother nature will get the hint and let winter go!

KM2473 He Brings Luck (rooster, animal, landscape)

This rooster was such fun to paint. I took his picture in China when I was visiting last fall. As I paint new subjects it is fun to learn new information about them. I found the following about the rooster: Throughout different cultures the rooster has been a symbol of many things one of the most predominant is luck. Having some form of Rooster in your kitchen is said to bring you luck and could just make you feel good. Hopefully painting roosters brings the same!
