The hollyhocks in our garden are still blooming.  But, we could have a frost any time, so I wanted to get a few more garden paintings finished.

This week in our garden:

I just ran into Walmart.  When I was walking out the door I noticed the most wonderful smell.  Right on the front walkway, chiles from Hatch, New Mexico were being roasted.  They were selling them by the bushel.  Boxes and boxes of them were stacked up near the roaster.  I wish I'd had my camera or phone.  You gotta love living in the west!

I love it when a blogger friend suggests a title.  This title was suggested by great commenter Sherry Autumnleaves.  It fits perfectly!  Thank you!

I have quite a few of my paintings for sale at Summerland Gardens.  Not only does Summerland Gardens have flowers, great things for your garden,  an incredible gift shop and an art gallery with work by local artists, but they also offer cooking classes.  And, they are now roasting organically grown fresh green chiles from Hatch, New Mexico.  (Ok, I should have mentioned this with my last post!)  Hatch is known for it's large, meaty and distinctively flavored chiles. (I sound like a commercial!)   They're fabulous! And available hot or mild, fresh or roasted, by the bushel or by the pound.   So, back to the cooking classes....not sure what to do with green chiles?  There is a green chile cooking class this Wednesday, August 24th!  And, of course, new daily paintings of chiles!  Now I really sound like a commercial!  The roasting will continue into the fall.

At this time of year, many people roast chilis.  Fresh roasted chilis are a great addition to a meal.

These geraniums were so much fun to paint.  We have 5 big pots of them in the corner of our deck.  I sat in the shade (part of the deck is covered) and painted away.  We all have tubes of paint that we rarely use, maybe from past workshops, or given to us by someone sometime.  I have a tube of red paint called "Geranium Lake".  I have no idea where I got it, but I used it in this piece. And, the reds work!

We have quite a few varieties of pink flowers in our back yard throughout the summer. These vine roses (I'm sure that there is a real name!)  are now gone, but looked beautiful while they lasted.

I just can't resist these coreopsis!  They're bright, happy looking, everywhere in our back yard, and fun to paint!

Coreopsis
6" x 6" Oil
$100.00 + $10. s/h

Right now our back yard is filled with coreopsis.  So, I decided it's a great time to paint yellows.  Yellow can be tricky.  Do you darken it with green and make it cool?  Do you darken it with orange and make it warm?  Do you use the complement, purple, and gray it a little?  I'll be posting coreopsis done in all of the above ways.  In this one, I mixed the cool yellow and brushed it on, one stroke, then a clean brush:  over and over.    I like the way it's kind of "stripey."

Recently my plein air group, Garden Artists, painted at my friend Marianne's ranch east of Colorado Springs.  I've painted there before and posted paintings of her chickens and eggs.  Well, here's one of the chairs out by the barn.  It's a great place to rest and watch all the animals and to paint!

When I first looked at these guys, or gals, I thought it would be too busy with all the other flowers in the background.  But, just suggesting them with brushes of color seemed to work.

This morning my plein air group painted at a home with a magnificent garden.  Every square inch of the yard has been turned into growing space for herbs, vegetables and flowers.  It was magnificent!  And, the freshly baked rhubarb pie was delicious!  Thank you Natalya.

Self-Portrait, Colorado Artist Julie Kirkland, Oil Paintings

I hope that this doesn't scare you!  I'm one of 10 artists who study with Tim Deibler every other week .  This week's classwork was to paint a self-portrait, and I fully didn't intend to do so.  I've never been tempted to paint myself at all.  But fate conspired against me as this week's Daily Painters Challenge was to paint, you guessed it, a self-portrait.  Fortunately, the challenge specified that you could be serious or silly.  I grabbed on to silly!  I've had a lot of fun comments about it from fellow daily painters on the site and I feel like it captures a major part of me!  Self-portrait, oil, 8x10.

Utah Plein Air Study, Colorado Artist Julie Kirkland, Utah, Landscapes

I just spent a wonderful week in Utah with some artist friends. We were there to see the Bloch exhibit at the Bringham Young University's Art Museum, and also spent hours viewing a fabulous western landscape show. The landscapes around the Provo area were not to be ignored either and we spent one afternoon painting outdoors. Oil study, 5 x 7".
