KMD2837 Warm Fall Day by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney

It is still only August but every day feels more like fall here in Denver which is inspiring me to pull out my fall reference. I love and dread fall. Love the perfect Colorado days we get, the amazing warm, glowing colors in the mountains where the Aspen turn to gold, but dread the short, dark days of winter which I know is not far behind. So, I will immortalize fall hoping the paintings keep me reminded of the perfect days we still have ahead.

Susan Spohn-- Autumn Trees-- Pallet Knife Painting

Autumn Trees

30 x 30

oil and paper on boxed wood panel

This painting had an interesting creative process from start to finish. I first primed and gesso'd the board, then using matte mediums, added scraps of paper in leopard and floral motifs to sort of form the outlines of trees and bushes. I then picked up my pallet knives and started painting mixing large quantities of paint, and generously swiping them on the board resulting in a thick, textural and loose painting. In the end, almost all the paper and board are covered, but it was fun to see what would happen in this creative process.
