I have been working in pallet knife for the last few weeks in my larger pieces but haven't tried the technique in my small daily's. It's a challenge to work that small with a knife but I think my attempt was very successful. I will do more and hope you like them.

100 Garden & Floral Oil Paintings, Original Artwork by Pam Holnback, 45/100

Corn on the Cob
6" x 8" oil on board
$100.00 + $10. s/h

These ears of corn are really fun.  If I wasn't doing a personal challenge, I might not have tried to paint them.
I had a question in my comments about the blue that I used for the recent blueberry paintings.  I mixed cobalt and ultramarine blues, grayed that mixture in varying amounts with cad red light, and added white.

Something you can try is using the same object several times in one painting. This still life was done with one apple, but turning it different ways, to complete the entire painting. The more you paint the same object the better you get, if you haven't already check out www.carolmarine.blogspot.com Her apples and still life paintings are amazingly good, and I believe it is because "practice and more practice, makes perfect."

KM2510 A River Runs Through It by Kit Hevron Mahoney ( autumn, fall, landscape, original fine art)






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!

An Early Start 5 x 7 Acrylic Sun Rise Painting








$100.00 + $10.00 S/H


I wake every morning to a sunrise just outside my bedroom window. As I sit in bed sipping my hot aromatic cup of coffee I just admire how each day they differ in intensity and volume but are always beautiful. All to soon my coffee cup dwindles as fast as the sunrise slips into a healthy morning sky but catching their essence in a painting is deceptively easy. I usually paint from my photographs but this daily painting was strictly from memory and beautiful memory.

KMD2513 Greek Poppies by Kit Hevron Mahoney (poppies, red, floral, original fine art)







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.

"KALEIDOSCOPE," 10133, daily painter textured poppy floral original © Carol Nelson Fine Art





















I took a few shots of this painting in progress so you could get an idea of the process. The first step (not shown) was to put on the texture by sculpting the petals using acrylic modeling paste.

The under painting on the background shows through in the final painting in varying degrees. You can see if you click on the finished painting to enlarge it, that my brush work is loose. I'm not trying to "stay inside the lines." I think it adds to the visual interest when there is movement and suggested forms.

Notice too, how the flower forms overlap one another, leaving varied and interesting negative space. Students often have a tendency to paint individual flowers that don't touch one another, ending with a stiff, unnatural arrangement.

This large 36x24 acrylic on canvas painting is available. Please click here to go to my website for purchase information.

Apples with Wine by Janice Warriner

Apples With Wine

7 by 8" oil on jute linen canvas mounted on hardboard

The solid, heavy weight of the wine bottle is what inspired me. I wanted to balance this with the soft, green and white cloths and finally, adding color with the red apples. The lighting used was the natural light that comes through my windows in the studio. Sometimes I like to use artificial lighting to cast a stronger shadow, but most often I use the natural light through the windows. I am enjoying my switch to the heavily textured jute linen for my still life's. I get to paint thick to get into the crevices of the linen cloth and like the personality this adds - plus, thick paint is fun!
