"Down in the Valley" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting

Driving south to Salida, along the Collegiate Range, I couldn't help but notice the houses nestled below the foothills and mountains.  This was during the fall, the colors were just beginning to turn, and I wondered, what would it be like to live down in that valley?  This question will never be answered, as I have no plans to move anytime soon, but to me it's the sort of place that so many visitors to Colorado just dream about owning!

"Peppy Pansies" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting matted to 8"x10"

Just less than a week until autumn officially begins.  Hard to believe, this summer has flown by!  The pansies will thrive for a little while longer, thankfully.  These were not the easiest to paint, the colors varied so much in the petals.  They are a fine reminder of warm weather, I believe.

KMD2948 Endless Summer by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (5x7, oil, landscape, Moab, Utah,autumn, floral landscape)

This painting is a study for a larger piece to come. It was a scene found south of Moab while traveling last fall with my great friend and photographer Pat. We screeched to a stop when we saw the most amazing morning light on the fall blooming Rabbit Brush with the blue, blue mountains and sky in the distance. We photographed every square inch of this beautiful scene!

KM2916 Fall's Destiny by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x30 oil, fall, autumn, aspen trees, fall aspen, Utah)

   

I fell in love with this scene while on my trip through Southern Utah last October. A winter storm was brewing leaving the skies a dark grey blue. The turning gold aspen against that sky were colors to behold. In spite of how tumultuous early winter storms are, this scene had a really peaceful feeling to it.

Autumn Afternoon

Oil  6" x 8"

Yesterday was another spectacular, warm fall day.  We've been having one of the most beautiful falls.  More colors than we normally have in Colorado.  I walked down to the park to paint.

"Autumn Leaf Storm" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting affordable

 

Well, it appears that the weather has been influencing my art work as of late...  About a week ago the wind just howled at night, the autumn leaves were furiously dropping from trees, and then the thunderstorm hit!  Our honey locust tree ash has grown tremendously since we moved into this house and it was slamming into the siding, keeping me awake much of the night.  Naturally, I thought I should definitely "document" the event.

KM2907 Nature's Jewels by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x30 oil autumn, nature, Glacier National Park)

I was shocked at how much time has gone by since I posted on my blog. I seem to be going from daily paintings to monthly paintings being posted, although I am painting much more than that. It has been a great year for commissions and I am currently working on a piece for the Denver, Colorado Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital campus redevelopment project and last month had a poppy painting placed at the Kaiser Permanente Arapahoe office reception area. This painting is another I have created in the series of painting from images that I have put aside through the years. I found this image on a trip several years ago to the Canadian part of Glacier National Park with my great travel companion Pat. I have always loved the color and light of this close up of some fall foilage, Oak leaves I am thinking. It is for sale at Longcoat Fine Art Gallery in Ruidoso, NM. I am currently gathering ideas for our upcoming October show "Define and Describe" at Brushstrokes.

KM2908 Autumn Spirit by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (36x48 oil landscape, fall, autumn Colorado scene)

What a fantastic time I had painting this scene that I found one fall on the way in to our mountain cabin. It was so enjoyable to immerse myself into the warm colors and textures of this scene. This is one of many that have been on the back burner to paint and I finally have allowed myself to tackle. Our new space at Brushstrokes is so much more open allowing all of us to create much larger images.

KM2868 Standing Tall by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (aspen, fall landscape)

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.

"Autumn Pastures #3" by Astrid Paustian

Oil on Canvas, 8" x 10", $175.-
A quick study in oil of one of my favorite places, the pastures of Boulder Valley Ranch in Boulder, Colorado. After a hectic, but fun and rewarding, Open Studios during the past 2 weekends I am ready to enjoy and paint these precious days of autumn.
I just love the warm colors of the trees and grasses, the brilliant Colorado sky, and the intense light that makes everything glow!

"Last Days of Autumn" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 19" x 15", sold.
Autumn. My favorite time of the year. It can be disappointingly short here in Colorado, if we do get an early snow. My hope is that it will be as long and beautiful as the Fall we experienced last year. It just kept going, one beautiful, crisp Autumn day after another. Oh, so much to paint!

"Autumn Path" by Astrid Paustian

Oil on panel, 8" x 10", framed in a simple, elegant, black frame, $225.-
This painting depicts one of my favorite walks, around Wonderland Lake in Boulder.
This large Cottonwood tree is a beautiful sight in Autumn, especially when back lit.
It is like an old friend, providing shelter from sun and rain, quietly witnessing people and pets walking, children playing, and families growing up in this beautiful place.

"Morning Walk" by Janice Wright

Acrylic on standard-width canvas

unframed (ready to be framed)

14" x 18"

This is another painting that I started a while ago. If a painting isn't working, I will gesso over it and reuse the canvas, but I still felt that this painting had potential. Putting a painting away for a while and then viewing it later allows you to see it with a fresh perspective. I noted that the "hard edges" were clearly a problem. (something that an acrylic painter has to be especially careful with as the paint dries so fast) I softened edges by drybrushing. I added in the stop signs - I like the way they frame the couple walking with their dog. A few hilights and I am now fairly satisfied with this piece!

"Autumn Evening Glow" by Janice Wright

Acrylic on Standard-width Canvas

ready to be framed

8" x 10"

This painting was inspired by a trip to nearby Cherry Creek State Park to shoot the coloured leaves at twilight.

I spent about an hour shooting the cottonwoods, and the sunlight on the reservoir and was starting to leave the park as it was getting dark. As I drove up the road leading out of the park the setting sun bathed my world in the most delicious, warm light. I stopped my car on the road and did a 360 with my camera on power wind. It was that kind of light that you wait all day to see, and have seconds to react to its effects.

Price: $175.00 + 15.00 for shipping in the US.
