Rocky Mountain Presence

24" x 30"   oil on canvas    $725.00

A million scenes to paint. Did your Mother teach you to look, to capture in your mind scenery, clouds, forests, waters, roads, directions, weather, and foliage? You are the lucky one indeed. 

Check out Mr. bear in the background ready to amble down and splash around in the stream and cool off.  You can almost feel the moisture in the air and the temperature of around 68 degrees.  Soooo comfortable!

If you are interested in this painting it will be showing at Arati Artists Gallery, 2425 W. Colorado Ave., during the month of July.  We are a full coop with working artists and all original artwork.  Let us wrap up an experience for you, and while you are at it, take a look at the myriad other items like jewelry, pottery, wood carvings, glass art, sculpture and greeting cards.

My mother, Mary Wright's, poetry and my colored pencil drawing

Sugar Sherbet Snowfall

11 " x 14"  watercolor      $100.00

Some time ago I had seen the sun shining through the evening clouds with the brushy limbs and the ancient  tree stumps at the bottom of the trunks and always thought I should paint that scene.  When my students wanted to learn snow, I remembered the scene and thought, why paint blue snow?  Let's get creative.  I had so much fun planning this peaceful painting.  I let the spirit of the painting come through, and challenged and delighted myself.  Notice the repetition of shapes and colors.  What would we do without repetition?  Just think of our cells, the grass, bricks and hair.  How about learning?  Repetition is sooo important.

River Blue

11" x 15"   watercolor   $150.00

Even in the winter warm barren golden weeds line the river like a woolen scarf.  A small lone wooden barn near the base of the mountains shelters livestock. Oh glorious day!

Foxey

11" x 15"  watercolor  $50.00

This little Mama lives under our driveway.  She feeds her pups mice and birds and every once in a while we are lucky to see her scampering through the trees.  She doesn't stop often, so we are lucky to catch a glimpse of her.

Paper Hat

11" x 15"   watercolor    $135.00

Paper hats were the hit of the day at the Pioneers Museum last summer.  Children and adults designed, crumpled, banded and wore their new fabulous creations.  

Wooly Face

7.25" x 10.75"    watercolor    $125.00

Dear lambs,

My sheep know My voice.....knowledge puffs up but love builds up......He leads me in green pastures.....

We wander, we get ourselves in ruts and guess who gets us out of the ruts?  He moves us to a part of the pasture where there are lots of good things to eat.  I know who he is, because he has always been my shepherd.  Because of Him  I sleep in peace.  I am one of His many lambs and my Father loves me best!

Five Sheep Running

11" x 6"         watercolor        $45.00

I have been working on combinations of colors for a client and making small paintings to send as a trial from the color combos she sent me.  It will eventually be a full sheet w/c hung to complement her quilt.

I will make a couple more of these loose washes, and I am itching to begin the real painting.

Mama bear and baby bear relaxing and watching for their next meal.   This is a study for a demo Sunday April 28, 1 - 4 at Bancroft Park in Old Colorado City.  The demo will be slightly different with 3 bears on 24" x 36" canvas in acrylic.   Proceeds from the auction will go to make enhancements to the park.

I'll Love You Forever

13.5" x 20"  watercolor $450.00

Little girls love their horses and the warmth of their skin and their soft breath.  Children like to feel in charge and when the horse is gentle she doesn't seem to mind.  In fact she seems to love the comfort of children. The little colt is simply observing and learning.

"The Sharecropper's Wife"

12" x 21"  watercolor matted and framed   $450.00

Her back is aching. She has bent over the crops in the hot sun all day long and still has to catch the chicken for dinner.  She is young and hardy and beautiful underneath her headscarf.  Her children help when they can, but she wants to make certain they get an education first.  Her vegetable garden is filled with lots of greens, beans, root veggies, potatoes and herbs.   

"The Sharecropper"

12" x 21" watercolor framed and matted  $450.00

He has been working in the fields all day.  He is tired and ready for dinner.  After dinner he will feed the pigs and cattle and milk the cows.  He is a proud man, making his own wages, selling and bartering to make ends meet and to send his children to school to get the best education they can.   by God.

"Boots"

4" x 6"  ink and watercolor   $25.00

Worn and weathered, these boots have seen combat, mud, muck, hot sand, and bugs.  They have protected precious feet and stopped short from stepping on land mines.  Aren't they beautiful?

"The Architect"

21" x 29"  watercolor  SOLD

The builder is a magpie who lovingly placed each and every twig in its proper place to woo his love.  She came in the spring when he had finished the task in the windy weather. I watched him from my kitchen window, formed the thought of the poetic painting, and he sat while she laid her eggs in the sheltering nest and then he helped feed his brood. Prints are available on http://www.etsy.com/shop/ReveilleKennedyart

"Round and Round the Garden"

This is fun little poem from England that you say to babies.  You trace a circle in the baby's hand while saying ,"round and round the garden".  Then while saying"one step two step," you  walk your fingers up the wrist to the top of the arm.  Then when you say "tickle you under there", you quickly tickle them under their arm.  They love it so much and never want you to quit.  These are made by hand in any color in about a day. I just realized I misspelled round,, so will have to make another!
Sorry!  At least you can see it for now.
