Johnson's Garden


Plein air pastel painting of a garden and shaded potting shed.

Pastel painting 9 inches x 12 inches $100

Please contact me if you are interested in this or similar artwork.

Saturday morning I visited the same beautiful home where I did the watercolor painting, "Garnet's Potting Shed," which I posted a few days ago. This time I wanted to try a pastel garden painting of the luscious grounds.

Much as I may want to create a painting that is all flowers, I am always drawn to the architecture in a scene. I like to take the strong, structural lines of buildings and play them against the organic flow of landscape, or in this case, flowers and shrubs. I walked to the other side of the shed and really liked the view. The small shed was in deep shadow but some of the plants were lit by almost psychodelic sunlight. Just the type of subject I like for plein air painting!

KMD2667 Gleaming in the Shadows by Kit Hevron Mahoney









I couldn't resist this scene from my trip to Crested Butte. Pat and I were resting over a cup of iced coffee in a perfectly lush and restful garden provided by a coffee house in town where this cart was part of the garden and magical atmosphere. We were relaxing at the end of a hot day of photographing every wildflower in sight. (We were tired as there were flower scenes in every direction one could see and we attempted to capture them all. I'm still sorting through the pictures!

"Blue Cornflower", by ELEANOR ERICKSON HARGRAVE





"Blue Cornflower", 14" x 11", Original Watercolor. This painting was inspired by the beautiful flowers I had just purchased to put on my table and paint. I've usually planted and grown them myself but this year my garden hasn't had the needed attention.(sigh) I looked around for that special vase or pitcher to put them in and found this up on a shelf. I instantly felt sentimental because of remembering all the fun family times we had at the table when using these dishes. Blue is really my favorite color if I could only have just one. Thank goodness we can have many, so my palette is at my whim. A beautiful day for painting...and I love to paint in my impressionistic style. I can only dream (and try) to paint like my very favorite artist in (watercolor and oil), Charles Reid. The prayers, encouragement, and support I get from the special people in my life keep me focused forward in my painting. I was fortunate that this painting SOLD today, almost while wet. I am thankful. Please feel free to visit my art blog, going back through folders. http://www.elliesartblog.blogspot.com/ Thank you and have a nice weekend. Ellie

Acrylic on Canson coldpress watercolor pad. Approx. 10x12 in

Here's Astaire and Rogers doing their thing in Beijing.

The acrylic is applied thinly in layers, like watercolor.


I painted this as the last painting for The Flying Moleskin project. This is going to Vern Schwarz, a very accomplished artist with whom I have had many email conversations. He is an all around great fellow and I'm proud to call him a friend.
Yes, sadly, this is the last one and finishes TFM project. All in all it has been a wonderful experience conspiring and transpiring with a great bunch of artists! I love ya all! :heart:

Get ready, Vern...This is heading home to you!

Margie's magical garden.
I have a really hard time finding words to describe
how beautiful my friend Margie is inside and out.
I think the wild exquisiteness of her garden is a perfect reflection of her.
I hope you are inspired by all of this as much as I was.
I left a little piece of my ♥heart♥ in Ontario..
Love you M. Lets meet again soon, eh? :)

This Week

In case anyone was wondering, painting Stacked Journaling on a large scale all week will make your arms feel like lead for about three days. Still, it's a labor of love to me, even when things look and feel a little wonky.

I've been working on this piece this week...

(36" x 42", Untitled
canvas monoprinted with acrylic paint)

... a huge hunk of unframed canvas, but I've been thinking about this piece that I painted years ago called, "Redefining Pink".

Redefining Pink, 2007
 (18" x 24", 140# watercolor paper
acrylic paint with masks, 
stencils, foam printing plates)

In Redefining Pink and other pieces of that time, I was working my way through the girly color palette I had loved as a child, trying to bring it into a more adult, sophisticated realm so I could begin using it in my work. All these years later, I'm still painting with that same color palette.

Do you have a favorite palette you return to again and again?

Happy weekend!
