KMA2884 The Dreamer's Moon by Denver, Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7 original abstract oil painting, abstract landscape, landscape, abstraction)

 
 

SOLD

I was thrilled with the result of this painting. It started as a representational landscape from a photo taken in Montana at sunset but the painting evolved into this abstraction where one can ponder the sun or moon. I am doing a 30x40 of this as well. It is the direction I am wanting to go in my abstracts where there is enough information for the viewer to ponder the subject and let their imagination come into play. This one was successful because my studio partners looked over while I was working on it and saw that I needed to go no further, and yelled "stop". Thank you John and Kelly. Sometimes we need that feedback before going too far with a painting.

KMD888 'Ua'u Kani by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5 original oil birds, baby bird)

SOLD

With my great love for animals, it was such a treat to paint this little fellow. While visiting my wonderful friends Pat and Connie in Kauai, Pat and I went to Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse. This little fellow, a Wedge-Tailed Shearwater was resting on a ledge at the lighthouse seemingly oblivious to all of us tourists happily snapping picture after picture of him. The Shearwater got its name because it is a seabird that hunts for food by skimming close to the surface of the water, then plunging through the waves to catch the fish or squid it spotted from the air. "Shear" means to cut or slice through. This bird seems to slice through the ocean spray as it flies in search of food.

KMD2883 Lush July by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (7x5 original oil landscape, Colorado vista)

SOLD 
As I am getting back to doing the smaller daily paintings I am going through my plethora of photographs from years past. There are so many fun paintings to be done from all the travels I have photographed that it is hard to choose. As spring seems so late this year I am sure I responded to the intense color and beauty of this scene near Gothic outside of Crested Butte during the wildflower season. Sometimes I wonder if anyone who has not seen this scene can believe it is really this colorful, but indeed it is.

KMA2880 Kinetic Poetry I by Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (12x12 abstract, oil on panel)

I have done a series of 3 of these colorful abstract paintings. I am offering each of them for sale on the internet  for half my gallery price. I will be posting the others later but if you are interested in seeing them before they get posted just email me at kitmahoney@yahoo.com and I will send you images of the other 2. Each is painted in oil on a 12"x12" panel board that is 1" deep. They can easily be framed if that is preferred. These abstracts are really a fun and creative break from the representational works I do and I know that the thought process in these gets integrated in my representational work as I grow as an artist.

KM2879 Evening Descends by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (urban landscape, 18x14, oil, Rockport, MA, lobster buoy)

Evening Descends is a painting I have created from a photo taken when I was in New England,(Rockport, MA specifically). This is one of many that have been in my "Favorites" file from all my photo adventures. My favorite file is full of pictures I really want to paint but have procrastinated for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are "Will it sell?", "how do I tackle this one?" etc. I have reached a point in my career where I am now focusing on painting what really speaks to me to put on canvas and this is one. I loved the light on this one that says the day is over, the work is done and peace falls upon the land as the sun sets.

KM2875 Rising Star by Colorado fine artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (48x36, oil, floral landscape)

SOLD 
This painting is one I have wanted to do for a couple of years. The scene is from a trip to Crested Butte, Colorado during their wildflower season in July. It is magnificent and hard to believe the feast before your eyes see in the varieties of flowers, colors and subjects to photograph and paint. When I saw this through the lens of my camera I knew it would one day be a painting.

KMA2873 Somewhere in Time by Colorado contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (36x36 abstract, mixed media abstract landscape)

This abstract evolved into a feeling of landscape. I originally painted it upside down from what is seen here, but it kept speaking that I needed to rotate it and allow the sense of a landscape to come through. This is where abstract painting is such challenging fun, letting it take on its own life and letting go of my own expectations. Learning to go with the flow! 36"x36" unframed original mixed media on panel board

KM2872 Spring's Infinite Glory by Denver Colorado fine artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (floral, 9x12, poppies)

 
 

SOLD

One of my latest representational works in anticipation of springtime. Spring is my most favorite season (if it ever gets here in Denver, although I am not complaining as we desperately need all the moisture from the snow storms). I can't wait for the progression of blooms that are coming, from the first brave crocus, onward to tulips and daffodils, crabapples, lilacs and then my favorite poppies. This time of year is so fresh and full of hope with all the new life coming forth.

KM2868 Standing Tall by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (40x20 Colorado landscape painting, aspen fall)

I have been busy painting for my new gallery in New Buffalo Michigan.
This is a Colorado fall scene painted in oil on a 40"x20" gallery wrap canvas.
Lately, I seem to be drawn to doing the tall vertical paintings. I don't know why it seems I find myself doing a majority of vertical compositions and then go through spells of nothing but horizontals.
I would love to know the psychology of what is going on inside that draws me to one or the other! If you are interested in purchasing this painting please contact Gene at the Courtyard Gallery  I am very excited to be a part of this beautiful gallery and artists showing there.

KM2864 Springtime in the Country by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (36x24, landscape, orginal oil painting, Texas)

This is another painting created for the Courtyard Gallery in New Buffalo, MI.
It is a scene from near the Willow Creek Loop in the Hill Country of Texas during the Blue Bonnet season.
There is a lifetime of paintings to be created when it is a good blooming year.
But of course, I was drawn to the wonderful reflections in this creek surrounded by red cliffs and the purple Blue Bonnets off in the distance.
Please contact Gene at the Courtyard Gallery if you would like to purchasing this painting.

KM2863 Enchanted Path by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x40 oil landscape)

This painting is of a scene from a late summer day at the Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver, CO. It was painted for the upcoming Colorado Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale that opens on April 27, 2013. This is a fabulous show that I am proud to be invited to participate in. This is my 11th year with this show.

KM2865 Flourishing with Summer Color by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x30 original oil lancscape)

SOLD

Wow, I have not been posting for a few months! Moving Brushstrokes and settling into our magnificent new space has consumed me for longer than I thought. I have been painting commissions, for the upcoming Colorado Governor's Show and for my new gallery, Courtyard Gallery in Michigan.
I am looking forward to creating some of my daily paintings but meanwhile I thought I would post my latest that I have painted for our new space. This is a scene from Crested Butte when the wildflowers are in full bloom. An amazing array of color and beauty.

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.

KMA2855 Evolving Spaces by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x30, abstract, oil)

I am finally in the process of creating a series of abstract paintings based on natural forms found in nature. This series is inspired from my latest trip to Kauai where I photographed some exquisite close ups from the bark of a Eucalyptus tree. The colors and patterns thrilled me as I looked through the camera and even more as I paint my interpretation on canvas.

KMA2851 Unfolding Tranquility by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (36x36, abstract, acrylic, contemporary)

SOLD

I painted this piece before leaving for my trip to Kauai (which was magnificent). I am on a mission to delve more deeply into the expression of painting in the abstract. It is very challenging for me, having worked representational for so many years. It seems most of us artists head in the direction of abstract at some point in our careers. For me it is a new form of expressing myself by painting what I feel and not what I see. This doesn't mean I am abandoning my representational work, I think this only adds to it.

KM2852 Fleeting Moment by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney ( 16x8, Colorado landscape, fall aspen)

SOLD

Last fall I was driving through Vail, Colorado in early October. This was a scene I shot from the car in the morning right after a light rain fall when the sun came out and lit the tops of some of the aspen trees. I did not get to the mountains this fall so I am reliving the fantastic Colorado autumn days from last years photos.

KMA2847 Textures of Fall abstraction by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x18, oil, abstract, abstracted landscape)

SOLD

This is the abstraction of the painting Textures of Fall that I sent out the other day. I spent quite a while working on this to bring it to my satisfaction. I think it carries the feeling of the representational piece without the realistic details.

KM2845 Textures of Fall by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x18, oil, landscape)

SOLD
Here is one of my latest done for our show at Brushstrokes Gallery called "Define/Describe" where we have painted a representational painting followed by an abstraction of that peice. The abstracted painting will be posted next! This is a scene from our mountain cabin on a path along the river which I have walked year after year and always never grow bored as the scenes may remain the same but the scenery is ever changing.

KM2843 Illumination by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (8x10, landscape, oil painting)

SOLD

This painting started as a warm up exercise. I painted over a painting I was not happy with and did this with very heavy strokes of paint on my brush and palette knife. I really like the mood of this piece as it reflects the warm glowing light I found in the scene that I photographed in Santa Fe many years ago. I have always wanted to paint this scene and don't know why the photo sat in a box for so long before I decided to paint it. As the photo was taken pre-digital it shows how long I have had it laying around!

KM2804 Springtime Lilacs (40x60 original oil, floral)

Here is a 40x60 commission I did for American Art Resources. It was such fun and so freeing to work large and a challenge to do in a small space.

KM2832 Along the River by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (8x10 oil, landscape)

Nothing like your car being unwilling to start when you are on your way to the mechanic! As I wait for AAA I decided it would be an good time to post another image. I painted this scene from a photo I took along the Columbia River in Oregon on my way to the coast. The Northwest is such a visual treat to a native Coloradoan as myself with all the water and atmospheric scenes.

KM2831 Summer's End by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (8x10 original oil landscape)

SOLD

I have returned from a glorious week in the mountains at our family place where there is no phone or internet service. We had perfect Colorado blue sky days with cool mornings and evenings. It was great to take a break from painting and just enjoy my surroundings. I am now ready to go back to the easel and paint for Brushstrokes upcoming show on October 5th where we are painting a representational and its abstraction. A fun challenge. Meanwhile, here is a small one done from some great reference in late summer at the Botanic Gardens from photos taken a few years ago.

Another from my abstract series of oil abstracts mounted on an aluminum panel that is ready for hanging or to me enjoyed on a small table easel. The abstracts are so intriguing as they engage the viewer to let their own imaginations find in them whatever they want.

KMD2839 Glowing Autumn by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (6x6 landscape, oil)

 
SOLD

This painting was done as a warm up before starting a street and figurative commissioned painting. The daily paintings are a good way to start the creative juices flowing and put me into the right side of my brain that is where the good stuff comes from!

KMD2837 Warm Fall Day 7x5 original oil landscape by Denver, Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

It is still only August but every day feels more like fall here in Denver which is inspiring me to pull out my fall reference. I love and dread fall. Love the perfect Colorado days we get, the amazing warm, glowing colors in the mountains where the Aspen turn to gold, but dread the short, dark days of winter which I know is not far behind. So, I will immortalize fall hoping the paintings keep me reminded of the perfect days we still have ahead.

KMD2835 Of Days Gone By by Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7 original oil landscape)

Where does the time go? I haven't posted for several weeks and don't know how I let so much time slip away. With fall in the air now I am feeling more energized and ready to start a new painting season. This is a scene from the Hill Country in Texas where I went several years ago in search of the illustrious Bluebonnets. It wasn't a banner year but we still found great scenes like this one. I love the nostalgia of the railroad tracks reminding us of days gone by while the flowers continue to bloom year after year.

KMD2927 Glowing Melody by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7, oil, floral)

SOLD

KMA2809 The Invisible Truth (8x8 mixed media abstract with poly resin finish) by contemporary Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

I am anxious to create more of these vibrant mixed media pieces as they have gotten such a positive response. The poly resin I have poured on top of the painting makes the colors rich and saturated, far beyond what a varnish does. This is one I wish you might see in person as the blues in the lower half of the little triptych are iridescent and I think the composition leaves the viewer with lots to ponder in their own imaginations.

KMD2826 Springtime Bounty (6x6, original oil, floral, poppy painting) by Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

I seem to be on a roll creating these little poppy paintings. They are such a delight to create and take my focus to a bright, colorful and cheery place away from all the news we are inundated with these days. Call me Pollyanna, but I hope this painting will do the same for everyone looking at it!

KMA2774 Mystery Within by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (10x12 original oil with poly resin top on brushed copper)

This is another piece from my wonderful abstract series of smaller prototypes to create on a large scale. The painting is done in oil on canvas mounted to board with a poured poly resin finish. This is then mounted on brushed copper which is ready to hang, set in an easel as shown or even frame. The top picture is the painting photographed before pouring the poly resin; the colors sing with the poly resin but are impossible to show well in a photograph. 10"x12" original oil on brushed copper $150 plus $15 Shipping and handling

KMD2823 Glorious Flatirons 5x7 landscape by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

The Flatirons in Boulder, Colorado have always been a favorite of mine. I went to school at the University of Colorado many years ago and never missed a day of looking at the view of the amazing rock formations in my then backyard. This beautiful view is from Chautauqua Park, another great destination in Boulder.

SOLD

Another painting done from perusing my picture files that have been sitting idle for quite some time. I love the wildness and freedom that this composition represents. It is so alive and full of energy, rhythm and color contrasts. This inspires me to create a larger painting from this little gem for our fall show at Brushsstrokes!

SOLD

I have had this picture in my pile of "want to paint" for a long time now. I came across it in my files that I was perusing as I was looking for another reference photo. It is good to do some housecleaning now and again for there are wonderful surprises to be found that have been totally forgotten. This is such a joyous scene as are cosmos to begin with.

SOLD

While perusing my reference looking for pictures for a commission I came across this image taken when in New England on a trip with my photographer friend Pat. It seemed like the perfect subject to paint with the 4th of July just around the corner. It is great that I now have so many shows and commissions behind me that I now have time to get back to doing some of my small daily paintings.

KMA2638 Birth of Dreams by Kit Hevron Mahoney (5.5 x 11, abstact, mixed media)

SOLD 
This is one of my mixed media pieces that I have had such fun creating. This particular piece has a poly resin pour on top giving it a a luminous look with the colors just singing. The dominant color in this is turquoise which I am partial to as it lets my imagination take me to far away waters or into the sky. This was created with no reference and totally from intuition.

SOLD

I am stuck on what to say today as far as why I painted this little poppy piece except it, of course, is one of my favorite subjects and a nice break from all the works I am preparing for the upcoming Art Market that is just around the corner now! Poppies provide me with brilliant color and just make me feel happy!
