Welcome to my blog/website where I am posting new works several times a week. I am honored to have you join me in my painting journey.
My work reflects the passion I have for traveling, photographing and interpreting with brush and palette knife on canvas the many moods and emotions evoked from the many places that I visit. Please feel free to leave comments on your reactions and interest in my paintings.

Posted by Kit Hevron Mahoney on August 8, 2011 5:39 PM |

With over twenty five years experience as a fine artist, design professional and teacher, Kit paints full time at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery, LLP in Denver, Colorado. She graduated from the University of Colorado and the Colorado Institute of Art where she also taught graphic design and drawing for over 15 years. Since 1984 Kit has been showing in galleries nationwide in both solo and group exhibitions. Her work has received numerous awards and is found in both private and corporate collections including the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs and McGraw Hill Publishers in Dayton, Ohio. She is also in the private collection of actor Jack Nicholson.


Kit is passionate about traveling and painting stunning landscapes and florals that represent her interpretation of the many places she visits.

"My paintings are a response to the passion and beauty I feel from and for Nature. As an artist I want to communicate visually and vibrantly the peace and serenity that I find in Nature, which I see as a visual and spiritual wonderland. I use my brush and palette knife to translate nature onto the canvas. I describe my dynamic compositions as a unique style of contemporary Impressionism with a bold use of color and texture."

November's Creations

November has been a month of exploration as I dabble in so many different subjects.

KMD2489-Forever-Brilliant.jpg
I am now posting my paintings that are for my blog and the Daily Painters.com on my website.
This painting was inspired by a photo taken this spring on one of my walks with my dog Farley. The amazingly brilliant colors of the poppy always make me smile and brighten my day.

Artist's Focus 2009 China

Painting China has been such a fun new adventure where I have discovered a new culture, people and lands. I went in search of images to portray the rural life which is being replaced with today's technology. It was such a dichotomy to go from the big, modern cities to the old ways of the small villages. I am so excited about interpreting my experiences on canvas! If you would like to pre-purchase any of these paintings please contact me. You can call Brushstrokes Studio or email me personally at kit@brushstrokesstudio.com

Works for Holiday Tea Show

KM2248-Mirror-Image.jpg
I have been busy painting for our holiday show at Brushstrokes Studio Gallery here in Denver. This is one of a series I am doing for the gallery, hence the size and price which are different than my daily painting offerings. I have been looking for new ways to see and express myself and have gotten really excited about viewing reflections of people in art museum floors where the final painting tells the story of the moment without defining all of the elements. I will be offering some as daily paintings again when I get caught up!

I was immediately drawn to this scene because of the luscious colors created by the sage interspersed with the vibrant red Paintbrush and Penstemon wildflowers. This was found just at the end of the town of Crested Butte, walking distance from the motel where we stayed. Ironic find after doing some amazing 4 wheel driving in search of just such a scene!

I am continually drawn to the warm afternoon light. I was fortunate enough to be out with my camera last summer in Montana to capture this scene as the sun was low in the sky lighting the grasses on the hillside.

Come Fly Away

KM2187-Come-Fly-Away.jpg
I often find scenes from nature walks that I can put into the abstract on canvas. That is how I came to create this image, from a walk along the river at our mountain place here in Colorado. What was originally a concrete reality to my eye is now a place on canvas where the viewer can choose be anywhere he wishes.

Heaven and Earth

KM2186-Heaven-and-Earth.jpg

It is stimulating and challenging to create new abstract paintings but a pleasant change from the daily routine I have of doing the small daily paintings that are posted to my blog. I loved the contrast of graphic and organic shapes in this painting along with the singing complimentary colors.

Warm Glow

KM2155-Warm-Glow.jpg
This painting is an abstracted landscape that was an absolute joy to paint. I am having so much fun working in more simplified shapes and colors to represent findings in nature.

KM2150 Vibrant, Wild and Melodic

KM2150-Vibrant%2C-Wild-and-Me.jpg

I did a vertical of this scene of wild poppies but loved the subject so much that I wanted to do a horizontal composition as well. These poppies were photographed as a tribute to life after the forest fire of 2000 here in the Rocky Mountains

KM2142 Sunshine and Shadows

KM2142-Sunshine-and-Shadows.jpg
I loved the light in this scene found here in Denver, Colorado at our Botanic Gardens late one summer when the bloom was almost done, the light is getting lower and the warmth from the sun is welcome.

KM2141 Wild Poppies

KM2141-Wild-Poppies.jpg

This painting has a wonderful feel of nostalgia, with the poppies growing unattended by an old fence. I found this scene in Telluride, Colorado a few summers ago.

KM2134 Wild Iris Fields

KM2134-Wild-Iris-Field.jpg
South Park, Colorado in June can bear an abundance of purple from all the Wild Iris that grow. This was an incredibly abundant year that I found to paint this luscious scene

KM2133 Storm's Brewing

KM2133-Storm%27s-Brewing.jpg

Another great story told by the ominous skies and incredible light that happens before the afternoon thunderstorms fly over in the Colorado summer afternoons. This too was outside of Crested Butte on Kebler Pass.

KM2132 Grand Vista

KM2132-Grand-Vista.jpg

I never grow tired of the incredible scenery in Colorado, nor the area of and around Crested Butte which is where I found the scene painted here. One can get lost in the infinite views from every direction and brought back to earth with the beautiful wildflowers abundantly lining the hillsides.

KM2131 Saint Mary's Lake

KM2131-Saint-Mary%27s-Lake.jpg

This painting was inspired by the incredible scenery found in Glacier National Park when I had the opportunity to visit last August. Saint Mary's Lake is awesome with the turquoise waters against the majestic glacier carved mountains.

KM2106 Late Day Light

KM2106-Late-Day-Light.jpg

When in St. Remy in Provence France I was with my great friend and travel companion Pat and we were walking at day's end with our cameras (surprise!) .This atmospheric scene with the light dusting the tops of the grasses in an old olive orchard was just beautiful and a delight to attempt to paint the feeling I got when there.

Wondrous Spring Morning

KM2104-Wondrous-Spring-Morn.jpg

This scene from a spring morning here in Denver was too irresistible to pass by both with the camera and then to paint. I have painted it to be shown in the 2008 Governor's Invitational Art Show and Sale: http://www.governorsartshow.org
Saturday, April 12, 2008 at the Loveland Museum in Loveland, Colorado.
I have 3 other paintings there that will be in my next post.

Sea of Yellow

KM2086-Sea-of-Yellow.jpg

This scene is from an area near Crested Butte where I photographed wild flowers at the tail end of the wildflower bloom. The aspen are such a delicate looking tree that are such a compliment to the wildflowers that grow in and amongst them.
This is one of my new paintings for our th Anniversary show Friday, March 14.

Aqua Aqua

KM2048-Aqua-Aqua.jpg
For years my Dad lived on Tilloo Cay an island in the Bahamas. I painted scenes there over and over and over just wanting to melt into the aqua blue waters of the Carribean. In fact, that is where my painting career started, hauling pastels across the country and into the Bahamas to wile away my time on the island. How fortunate for me to have had my Dad and the opportunities he gave me.
This scene was an inlet we passed on the boat everytime we went to the next island-Elbow Cay where we bought groceries and gas. There will be more of these to come as I have lots of reference from my years down there.

Ocotillo

KM2047-Ocotillo.jpg

While visiting Tuscon, Arizona several years ago I photographed the blooming Ocotillo. They are one of my favorite desert blooming cacti with their brilliant red orange flowers just sitting atop the long stalks of the cactus. The blooms may be small in size but not in the attention they bring to themselves with their luscious color.

A Shady Nook

KM2046-Shady-Nook.jpg
Colorado is spectacular year round. This scene combines the Colorado State flower-the Columbine with our incredible Aspen. The Columbine grow in many places in the mountains but you are sure to find them among the Aspen Groves.

KM2045-Poppies-in-the-Breez.jpg
This painting was done from a photo taken in France. While driving some back roads I screeched on the brakes when I saw this foreground of wild and vibrant poppies with the old stone European architecture in the background. Out of the many, many pictures I shot on that trip, I couldn't wait to come home and paint this scene. I have painted several versions of this scene.

Innocence

KM2044-Innocence.jpg
This portrait is of my little dog Farley. I am now doing pet portraits for anyone who is interested. Please contact me if you would like a portrait of your pet!
Dogs are such incredible energy and Farley who is only 1-1/2 years old is a constant reminder to stop, play and smell, well..... in my case the flowers!

Poppy Passion

KM2043-Poppy-Passion.jpg
Back to the poppies! I can't resist painting them. This one is 24"x24" with a textured background and painted with brush and palette knife. I especially was drawn to the abundance of vertical stems in the painting. They seem so tiny for the size of the flowers they carry, yet they hold the vibrant poppies as they hold their heads high and sway in the breezes that whisp them about.

Duke

KM2042-Duke.jpg
SOLD
Here is a commission of Duke, an incredible Australian Shepard rescued from a shelter by loving parents to whom he gave so much love in return. He visited our mountain place here in Colorado every summer and was quite the loyal herder, keeping track of all the people that ever went hiking or walking. It was a big job as the hikers never stayed together, but Duke got lots of excercise as he kept track of each every person until they returned home.

SOLD

This small commission was done for a dear friend who recently lost her kitty, Abbey.
I have known Abbey for many years and she was a sweetheart; warm, cuddly, talkative and always joining in on anything we were up to. She is greatly missed, and I hope this painting will keep here spirit alive.

Grazing Fawn

Growing Wild

KM2038-Growing-Wild.jpg

SOLD

Every spring I seek out new places where the poppies are growing. I am drawn to the wilder gardens that have little structure letting the poppies and whatever is growing with them decide the textures, patterns and compositions that I may then photograph and put on canvas.

Vibrant Poppies

KM2037-Vibrant-Poppies.jpg
SOLD

I suppose my title for this is a bit redundant as poppies are naturally vibrant which is part of the reason I am drawn to paint them again and again. They are just nothing but a joy to paint as much as look at and keep me in such a good feeling place. I only hope they do the same for all who view my interpretations.

Dusk Shadows

KM2036-Dusk-Shadows.jpg


As with all my small paintings, I am approaching subjects that have always tantalized me but that I put off painting for a variety of reasons. This scene was in Florence, Italy on a trip with my great travel companion Pat. She too is passionate about seeing all of the world and is responsible for finding and taking me to the many places I have seen and photographed. We were on our way to Ponte Vecchio when the sun was setting leaving a warm red orange glow to the city and just a hint of light shining through the archway. It stopped us in our tracks and begged to be photographed and then painted.

Wildflower Meadow

KM2035-Wildflower-Meadow.jpg

The Colorado mountains are so incredible in every season. I go to Kenosha pass every summer in July to see what flowers have come out for the year. This particular year my Mom had died a few weeks before finding this meadow. It was filled with flowers of every variety in purples, yellows and whites. It is amazing that since that summer I have never found the abundance that was present that particular July. It was, to me, a tribute to my Mom in her passing and a message to always remember to stay joyous and colorful. This 7"x5" little painting was a joy to paint.

The Look

KM2034-The-Look.jpg
This is Farley, my little Schnoodle dog and best friend. You will see more of him in my miniatures as he has a different look for every one of his moods and I love painting pets and want all the experience I can get painting all the different expressions. I also hope to add pet portraits to my repertoire of subjects to paint. This look is one of a bit of devilness as he looks at me implying that he is looking for trouble.

Baby Robin

KM2039-Listening-and-Waitin.jpg

Here is an unusual subject for me, a bird! I am finding it so enjoyable to tackle new subject matter that I have photographed throughout the years but have put off painting for whatever reasons. Birds are such a wonderful part of our world. I love the symphony of music they sing in the spring and am sad to hear the quiet come late summer. I am now anxious to add more birds of many varieties to my painting subject matter.

Textures of Fall

KM2033-Textures-of-Fall.jpg
While on my daily walk with my little dog Farley, I saw this scene in the park where we go often. He was bored as I spent time taking pictures to help me remember the incredible mixture of warm oranges, reds and yellows contrasted by the more muted mauves. I am anxious to create a large painting of this piece in a more abstract interpretation rich with texture.

Along the Path

KM2032-Along-the-Path.jpg

Another little oil painting from my Greece reference photos. On one of the many sunny days we had last May we were traveling on one of the Greek Islands off the town of Napflio where we stayed. I was intrigued by the lone pot of geraniums along the way. They were brilliant in the morning sun and loved play of light and shadows as well.

Another Small Wonder

KM2031-The-Baby-Fox.jpg
What is about baby animals? Have you ever met or seen one that didn't melt your heart. This little fox just spoke to me to be painted. I could spend the whole time that I was putting this to canvas in a joyous state looking at the face of innocence, playfulness and no sense of time. Am I lucky to spend my days as a fine artist or what?

Bursting in Vibrance

KM2030-Bursting-in-Vibrance.jpg
This small oil painting is a looser interpretation of one of my favorite flowers-the poppy. I have painted many of these red European poppies and each time I do I like to look for new ways to interpret them. This floral was painted in a more abstract manner leaving the background loose in shape and form and letting the brilliant color of the flower to carry the composition. The painting is 7"x5" in size, oil on a gessoed board.

Little Lamb

KM2029-Baa-Baa-Black-Sheep.jpg

While on one of my travels abroad I always photograph any of the animals I come across.This little lamb was one of the curious ones who was willing to come up and let me take his photo. Of course, he was the only black sheep in the herd. They can be a challenge to photograph as they are shy and usually run away when I approach. This oil painting is another of my small pieces that I am doing on a daily basis.

Curious

KM2028-Curious-Gaze.jpg
While in wandering he narrow streets on the island of Hydra in Greece last May, school had just let out. I spotted this little girl in standing secretly in a pose that leaves the viewer wondering what she is up to. Is she hiding from someone or waiting to surprise another little friend. I want this painting to keep the viewer guessing as to what was happening.

Dream Mist II

KM2026-Dream-Mist-II.jpg

Dream Mist II is a square composition of Dream Mist which I painted several weeks ago. I had such fun painting the 30x40 and had a vision of it as a square format and felt the need to render it so. This original oil painting has a dream like quality which I hope will engage the viewer to dreams of their own. It of course has a sense of reality with the floral shapes.

The Finish

KM2027-Sassy-Stern.jpg
This is the finished painting of Sassy Stern. I posted the beginning of this piece a few days ago. I am painting miniature paintings on a daily basis which allows me to create paintings of all my favorite pictures taken throughout my career. I have many favorites and can paint many more in small format to determine if I want to do them larger in the future.

Black Eyed Susan

KM2025%20Black%20Eyed%20Susan.jpg
Here is another small oil painting that was painted on a 6"x4" board with linen canvas. This little floral makes a big statement with its cheery, bright yellow colors and the flowers looking up to the sun, seemingly in a poetic dance. Such a joy to paint!!!!

Summer Glories

KM2024%20Summer%20Glories.jpg

Flowers are of course one of my favorite subjects to paint. I have been fascinated with painting more intimate views by looking close up and giving importance to the individual flowers I see. This viewpoint is created with vibrant color and texture to reflect some of the wildness in the garden.

The Start

Amsterdam%20Study.jpg

This is the start of a painting that I have been anxious to paint for quite a long time. The subject is from a photo I took while traveling in Amsterdam. I love the sassy stern of the this boat docked in a canal in Amsterdam. This little waterscape is 7"x5" and is the beginning composition showing my painting process. Stay tuned for the finish that will be posted tomorrow.

Marvels of Nature

This is a small study of a scene here in Colorado outside of Crested Butte. I an enamored with the Colorado landscapes and Aspen trees here, and this scene encompasses both.

Fall's Palette

KM2020--Fall%27s-Palette.jpg
This is another original painting that I finished the other day for our show opening Friday, Nov 2, 2007.
This is an abstraction of a scene from a Colorado Fall day, one of those days we experience here that my mother used to call "champagne days" which are days where the weather is the perfect temperature and you just want to melt into the warm alluring golds and oranges. Enjoy

Walking Tall

KM2019%20Walking%20Tall.jpg

I photographed this kitty while in Greece last May in the town of Napflio. It was dusk and the shadows were long on a warm spring evening walking along the boardwalk. Greece has cats everywhere which was heaven for me as a cat lover and they are all friendly, usually joining us for our meals as well as walks. I have been wanting to paint this kitty from the moment I crossed his path and knew that I captured him in a successful photo. This is another painting for our upcoming show here in our studio gallery. Please come join us!

Abstract Impressions

KM2018%20Dream%20Mist.jpg
This contemporary abstract painting was inspired by my love for deep rich colors combined with the astounding wonders of flowers. The painting holds a lot of mystery but allows the viewer be drawn into the colors and shapes that can inspire the imagination take the viewer wherever they like. I want my paintings, especially my abstracts to engage the viewer and keep their interest for as long as they want to stay engaged. It will be shown as part of our show opening on Friday, November 2, from 5-9pm. Come join us to see an array of landscape, abstract, floral urban and much more.

Colorado Summer

KM2017%20Colorado%20Summer.jpg

This little painting is a subject that is one of my favorites: Colorado wildflowers. The Columbine and Paintbrush are two of my favorites that I seek out during the wildflower bloom. Painting these little gems in my Denver studio gallery brings back fond memories of the colorful wildflower bloom we get in July.

More Poppies

The Large Version

This is the finished 40"x30" oil painting that I did a study for last week. It is the piece from Montana, late day in August with that magical light you only find for a few moments before the sun goes down. I hope this painting brings the warm feelings I get when the day is late and quiet and the world is slowing into silence.

Fall Inspiration

KM2013-Reaching-for-the-Ski.jpg
This oil painting on canvas was inspired by our glorious Colorado Aspen just asking to be painted on a tall vertical canvas. I went out photographing a few weeks ago and found this scene on a hike in upper Chicago Creek. Colorado fall scenes just call me to the canvas to paint the majestic colors and scenes.

Dancing Columbine

Abstraction of the Day

This is an abstract image that I have done as a commission.
It is challenging when working with color and shape to create a pleasing design and composition.
Balancing the strong dark on the right against the lighter elements on the left took some time to keep the painting visually pleasing where the viewer will remain engaged and in a world of discovery.
I really enjoy the change in doing abstract work as it calls upon my previous life skills as a designer where I work only with shape, color and composition.

Before and After

Burro%20Painting%20Start.jpg KM2003-Siesta-Time.jpg

I photographed this burro resting along a wall in the shade while in Monemvasia, Greece. Monemvasia was one of my most favorite of the places we visited.

I am showing how I began the painting along with the finish. This fellow was in deep meditation as I walked by allowing me to get a great photo to paint from.

The Process

DSC_4618.jpg DSC_4876.jpg


Here are pictures showing my latest work of some poppies I have painted from a photo that I shot at Delphi while in Greece last month.
I have the beginning of the painting process followed by the finished work.
It is 24"x30" and I rendered the foreground and background in brushwork and the flowers with a palette knife. This creates a soft background for the more textured flowers to stand out on.

Today's Inspiration


KM1088-Floating.jpg

I am starting a series of paintings from my recent trip to Greece. We stayed in Nafplio on the Pelopennese.
The city of Nafplio was the first capital of the modern Greek state. Named after Nafplios, son of Poseidon, and home of Palamidis, their local hero of the Trojan war and supposedly the inventor of weights and measures, lighthouses, the first Greek alphabet and the father of the Sophists.
Here is my first small warm up study. I loved the colorful boats against the blue sea.
