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

SOLD
While waking my dog Farley after closing Brushstrokes for the day I came across this glowing scene of Lilies. They are such beautiful flowers growing and adding such brightness to the world, and seem to be oblivious to the heat that I am complaining about!

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.

KMD2824 Nature's Rhythms 7x5 floral oil by Denver, CO artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

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!

KMD2820 Cascading Cosmos (5x7 floral, oil)

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.

KM2819 Old Glory (7x5 original oil urban landscape)

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.

KM2817 Eternal Renewal

This is a scene I painted recently from a picture I took while visiting the Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon. It was one amazing spring in the lush Northwest environment filled with so many varieties of flora and such a variety of fresh new spring colors.

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.

KMD2814 Spring's Gift by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7, oil, floral)

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!

KMA2778 Soul's Pleasure by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (4x6, oil, abstract)

Here is a little gem that was painted in oil and then finished with a poly resin on top leaving it absolutely luminous. (The photo here is without the resin.) This is part of my series that I am creating for the Art Student's League of Denver Summer Art Market June 9 and 10. I am very excited about all I have painted and created for this event. All the prep work has obviously slowed down my posting!

KMD2783 Garden Treasures by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (6x6 original oil, floral)

KMD2784 Spring's Lush Gifts (floral, 5x7, original oil by Contemporary Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

Back to the easel with a new spring subject. I am still in the busy time of painting for the Art Student's League Art Market and am trying not to get too frenzied as the days draw closer to the event. I have some really exciting new works, all abstracts that I am creating but it was fun to take a break and return to one of my favorite subjects; springtime and joyous and vibrant poppies. Enjoy!

KMAA2770 Red Destiny (original oil abstract 10x12 by Contemporary Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney)

SOLD
I am so excited to introduce my newest creation of an oil abstract mounted on brushed copper. The original abstract oil is mounted and raised out from the aluminum and ready for hanging. This is one of a series that I plan to sell at the Summer Art Market in June at the Art Student's League of Denver. They are more handsome in person as it is difficult to photograph the subtle variations of the brushed copper frame that enhances the oil painting when the light hits it.

KM2776 Morning in Arles by Kit Hevron Mahoney (30x40 original oil urban landscape)

SOLD

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted. It has been so busy getting ready for our 10th Anniversary Show at Brushstrokes and then the Governor's Invitational (where I sold out!!!!!!) At last I can focus on my online postings and now prepare all my new works for the Art Student's League Summer Festival in June. This painting is one for our 10th Anniversary show. I photographed this scene several years ago while visiting Arles in France (where Van Gogh painted Starry Night Over the Rhone and Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night). It was a memorable trip as I had my purse stolen outside of Arles with all my credit cards and ID including my passport. To make a long story short, after some intense panic my passport found its way back to me. A miracle I will never forget.

KM2775 Afternoon Shadows by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (10"x8" orignial oil)

SOLD
I painted this scene for the 21st Annual Colorado Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale which opens on Saturday, April 28 at the Loveland Museum. It is an honor to have been in this show for 11 years. I chose this scene because I loved the late day light and long shadows and the romance of Italy where I shot the photo reference.

KM2769 Into the Woods by Colorado Contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD

This painting is a mixture of my representational and abstract styles. It is a rich mixture of textures created using a palette knife with some brush work. I have painted it for our 10th Anniversary Show at Brushstrokes on April 27. It has been really busy here as I get ready for the Brushstrokes show and the Colorado Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale that opens on April 28th. Guess I won't be taking any weekends off for this month!

KMA2761 Vertically Inclined (4x6, abstract, oil, by Contemporary Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

SOLD
This is another in my intuitive abstract series done in oil using the paints I have mixed from creating a representational work. I will be selling these works at the 2 day Art Student's League of Denver's Summer Art Market June 9 and 10, but thought I would release some before the market. These are really a joy to create, some just don't come together and get thrown away but others are gems like this one. I compare the painting experience to a game of golf, some days you hit the sweet spot every time and other days..........well, you get the picture

KMD2268 Razzmatazz - (5x7, Red Poppy, acrylic painting, floral)

SOLD 

Spring is really here, early this year getting me into the floral mode for painting. I was struggling for a title for this painting to do it justice so I looked up the definition of crimson to find the word Razzmatazz and loved the way it rolls off the tongue.
Perfect! I loved the very deep rich reds and crimsons in this beautiful poppy and challenged myself to paint it in acrylic!

KMA2760 Taos Tribal by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (original oil, 4x6, abstract)

This is a fun little abstract created in a series I am preparing for the Art Student's League of Denver's Summer Art Market. I was thrilled with the color combination using leftover paints from another painting I was doing. I never know what will come of these little paintings created totally from imagination; some get thrown out and some thrill me.

KM2754 Silent Thoughts by Colorado Artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (landsape, 9x12, oil)

SOLD 

Wow, I have not posted for quite a while now. It has been crazy keeping up with my regular gallery business which has taken me away from my internet business, but I am not complaining as it is all good! This painting is one I am thinking about using in the Colorado Governor's Invitational held next month in Loveland, CO. I am painting several from which to choose from for the show, unless this gets sold here! I am so grateful it is spring, the days are longer and I am savoring the sweet scent of new spring flowers when I walk Farley. It energizes me for this all the paintings I am planning. 12"x5" unframed original oil

KMA2751 Soul's Dream II (4x4, abstract, oil, original paining)

Continuing with with abstract art, I am creating miniature images from my oils leftover at the end of my painting day. This is one in a series of three. I love to see what my palette looks like with all the leftover piles of color from creating a larger representational painting. I am creating these small gems for the Summer Art Market in June put on by the Art Student's League of Denver.

KMD2748 You Say What? (6x6, original oil, by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney)

SOLD 

I finally got back to the easel this week after returning from my trip to Kauai. I photographed this little fellow in between rain showers while getting a tour of the beautiful island. I discovered that this Red Crested Cardinal is also known as the Brazilian Cardinal and it was introduced around 1930 from South America. They move very quickly making it a challenge to get a good photo. I was happy to get this pose to paint.

KMA2737 Playful Touch (abstract, 36x36, acrylic on stretched canvas)

I have just returned from a very wet but relaxing trip to Kauai. I had painted this piece before leaving and am planning to do some of my small daily paintings this week inspired from my trip.
This painting was created from a small abstract I painted as a study for a larger one. The real joy in this kind of painting is letting it take its own course using my original study only as a starting point. It is such a fun journey working from the intuitive.

KMA2739 Beyond Horizons (12x16, abstract, acrylic landscape)

SOLD

It is difficult to describe how I create my abstract paintings as it is such an intuitive process. Of course my results are a culmination of life experience and everything I have been exposed to in addition to all the art I peruse looking for inspiration. This painting evolved seemingly into a landscape and I let it "paint itself" once I saw a direction in it. I am off to some great adventures on Kauai with my good friends Connie and Pat. Posting will be sporadic for the next 10 days as I enjoy this vacation but know I will return home with yet many new inspirations!

KMA2734 Soaring Dreams (30x40 abstract acrylic)

SOLD

This painting was inspired from a small abstract that I created with my oil paints. Whenever I finish one of my oil paintings, I use the remaining paint to create a small abstract. I then choose my favorites of these to use as inspiration for my larger abstract paintings. It is such a great journey from leftover paints to a final creation. I never quite know where I will end. I really love the colors in this one.

KMD2735 Perception in Red (6x8, floral)

SOLD

With winter still coming on strong here in Denver (once again it is snowing as remnants of the last snow had almost melted off) I look into images that will bring spring closer. So, of course I reach for my familiar and favorite; poppies. This piece was inspired from a picture taken in Estes Park, Colorado where there was a full garden of these delightful red gems.

KMA2719 Warm Chromatic (abstract acrylic, warm hues)

This warm and colorful abstract is another done intuitively. It is one that took many layers and much study and observation before I knew it was finished; the most difficult part of painting abstractly for me! I am pleased with both the composition, flow and colors in this one. I hope it keeps the viewer engaged.

KMA2720 The End of Silence (8x10 oil abstract red flowers)

I created this colorful piece with pure imagination and was thrilled with the way it came out. It is such a wonderful time when I tap into the inner self and the painting just flows out, seemingly without effort. Lacking words to describe what I am attempting I will use the words I found in trying to describe abstracted art: Abstraction generally involves implication, suggestion and mystery rather that obvious description. Like a good poem, a good abstraction attacks your feelings before your understanding.

KMA2718 Unfolding (20"x20" acrylic absract by Kit Hevron Mahoney)

This is a painting done for our Painting with Passion Show.It is another one of my "intuitive" creations where I am working totally reference free and only with what speaks from within. It is a huge challenge for me with years of training where I paint using reference. It is fun and frightening to see what evolves. I am surprised at how I see abstracted figures revealed in many of these works. Of course the joy with the results is having everyone see from their own experiences.

KMD2727 Outside the Pub (London painting, urban, cityscape, original oil)

SOLD
While sorting through my London paintings for pictures of the red phone booths I came across this scene that really appealed to me for a daily painting. I think I might have to find more of these wonderful scenes as not only are they fun to paint but I get to relive my travels as well.

KMA2703 Looking Glass (abstract, oil, 4"x6")

Delving into the abstract brings me such joy as they come totally unbidden. These little paintings often generate ideas for larger paintings. This is one which I look forward to creating on a large scale. I really love the mix of color and shape this one has.

KM2726 Entranced (figurative, child, children, China)

I have had this picture in my files since my trip to China a few years ago. The children there are adored and adorable. This little girl was so entranced while watching the crowds in Tienanmen Square as was I in disbelief that I was actually there. I went to China on a painting/tour trip desiring experiences, viewpoints and visuals different than my own world here. It was that and more and I am so grateful to have made new friends and lasting memories and a plethora of new painting material. I, however will not try painting on location in a new part of the world as there is just too much to take in besides the challenge of dragging painting supplies everywhere and settling down long enough to focus on one spot.
