KMA3032 Perception in Red I by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (12x9, acrylic, abstract, reds, warm colors)

Another of my abstract explorations using warm, red colors. I am pleased that using a palette of reds I have rendered an intuitive image that is calm and yet exciting at the same time! 12”x 9” original acrylic on 1” cradle board $800+ $15 shipping and handling See more paintings on my blog Visit my website Daily Painters of Colorado

KMA3011 Come What May by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x24 abstract acrylic)

I decided to step out of the box and show one of my recent abstract paintings. I have been reluctant to show my abstracts as they are so different from my representational works. When creating my abstracts I have challenged myself to work intuitively and totally from within with no visual reference to draw from. Having painted for almost 30 years from reference this has pushed me into new places not always comfortable. So many of my abstracts have many layers of painted ideas, some of which are visible adding to the final composition. It is very difficult to know when I am finished as opposed to, for instance, a landscape painting. I hope you enjoy following my journey into the abstract as a part of my creative journey as a painter. Of course, I will continue with my representational works and hope to see some influence in them from the abstract exploration. I would love to hear back from you as to how you are reacting to these new pieces. This is one of my paintings that will be showing next month in an abstract show at the Framed Image Gallery here in Denver. 24"x 24" original acrylic abstract unframed $1200 + $40 shipping and handling See more paintings on my blog Visit my website Daily Painters of Colorado

KM3005 Lucious by Denver Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (24x36 oil, garden, poppies)

This is another commission that was painted for the new Banner Health being built in Fort Collins, CO. I am thrilled to have been commissioned to do 4 paintings for them. It is rewarding to have paintings placed where they are used to uplift. Recently I was asked why I paint the subjects I am drawn to. After much thought I realize that my place in this world is to communicate the beauty of this world. I feel that is who I am as an artist. I have fought being a person that makes "pretty" pictures throughout my career and now realize that I want to add beauty, joy and positive energy to the world and not anything negative. Poppy gardens and paintings are one of my signature subjects. Although we still have snow on the ground it is fun to anticipate spring being right around the corner here in Denver and all those poppies are getting ready for another season to inspire. 24”x36” original oil unframed See more paintings on my blog Visit my website Daily Painters of Colorado 24x36 original oil floral, spring garden Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney Brushstrokes Studio-Gallery, Denver fine art gallery, western, reds, pinks, green colors
