KM2776 Morning in Arles
I photographed this scene to paint from several years ago while visiting Arles in France (where Van Gogh painted Starry Night Over the Rhone and Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night). It was a memorable trip as I had my purse stolen outside of Arles with all my credit cards and More Info »KM2769 Into the Woods
This painting is a mixture of my representational and abstract styles. It is a rich mixture of textures created using a palette knife with some brush work. I have painted it for our 10th Anniversary Show at Brushstrokes on April 27. It has been really busy here as I get ready for the Brushstrokes show More Info »KM2746 Spring Unleashes her Glory
This is a commission done for a client from Forms Gallery in Delray Beach, Florida. The subject is springtime in the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon. I was lucky enough to be there at the peak of the spring bloom which was soft and glorious.KMA2737 Playful Touch
This acrylic abstract was inspired by a small piece I created looking for new visions in my abstract work.KMA2718 Unfolding

This is a new direction for me, abstracted florals. This is an exciting, colorful painting that I was pure joy to create.KM2709 London Red
I visited London several years ago and when we decided to do a show at Brushstrokes entitled "Painting with Passion" the red phone booths immediately came to mind.KM2717 Profusion in Red
What wonderful scenes along the narrow streets in Europe. This was a scene in Italy which I was drawn to because of my love of flowers and the earthy and antique contrast of the shuttered window. The window has been there many years and the Bougainvillea comes new each year.KM2716 In High Spirits
This very lively painting was rendered in oil using brushes and palette knife. It is a scene from our Denver Botanic Gardens. I was drawn to the wildness of this scene as it is not structured but has a randomness to it.KM2704 Enchanted Sunflowers
How can one resist the bright cheerfulness of a field of sunflowers. When I came upon this field in northeastern Colorado I stunned by the rich, colorful field of these sunflowers all facing the sun in order to soak up the warm rays.
