Snow Sledding Child and Dog Heidi Malott


sold
(previously painted)

Stay warm today!  I am back in the studio and hope to post some new work for 2013.  My family started the new year under the weather.  Nothing too severe but never seemed to end.  I injured one of my fingers the other day requiring 4 stitches!  Thankfully not my painting hand.  Boy oh boy do we know how to kick of the year, huh?  It is all up from here, cheers!

Winter Oil Painting Frosty Morning Impressionist Landscape



sold
"Frosty Morning"
6x6" Oil on primed art board

Painting winter landscapes can get challenging due to the lack of color from summer and fall.  There is also the challenge of many overcast days.  Sometimes you have to dig deeper to notice the subtle beauty.  Such as the softened glow across a snowy field.

Marshmallow World Winter Oil Painting Impressionism Heidi Malott



sold
"Marshmallow World"
6"x6" oil on primed art board

"It's a marshmallow world in winter
when the snow comes to cover the ground
it's the time for play, its a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round"

ha ha, no I haven't been painting in a poorly ventilated room...this song was on while I was painting today and I found it quite fitting for this scene.  The name of the song is "It's a Marshmallow World" by the one and only Dean Martin from "Dino's Christmas"

I really wish this painting could be seen in person.  The photo does not pick up the softness and subtle color very well.

Small Impressionism Paintings Original Art Heidi Malott



"December Sunset"

6x6" oil on primed art board

This winter sky is from my studio window tonight.  I am not getting used to the sun setting so early, about 5:30 pm.  By 7:00 it feels like bedtime.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I suppose depending on where you live, you do.  Oh well, the sunsets are gorgious at least.  I may do a series of these sunsets.  Have a great night!

Summer Hike Impressionism Contemporary Landscape Heidi Malott



"Summer Hike"
6"x6" oil on primed masonite

When painting a landscape it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the details.  Sometimes I have to write a simple message on a post it note and stick it right on my easel:  "Simplify" or "KISS" (keep it simple sister!)

First Snow Landscape Contemporary Oil Painting Heidi Malott



sold
"First Snow"
6x6" oil on primed art board

More like a first dusting.  I still can't believe the winter season is approaching.  We are still eating tomatoes from the garden!  This is my first painting after a long break.  I feel a little rusty.  I spent most of my time in the studio preparing my supplies.  I have missed posting and hearing from friends in art.

Twilight Lake Moon Sunset Impressionist Landscape


sold

"Twilight Lake"
previously posted 2010

Hello out there :D  
I hope your summer is off to a good start.  Once again, I am hoping to have some painting time soon.  Looking forward to summer:  the kids being home, graduations, a wedding, camping, gardening, canning and other good times.  

Our focus in my household right now is to get "back to the basics" at least that is my plan.  My husband may be on strike for an unknown amount of time.  A reminder that life can be uncertain and the importance of being prepared for "rainy days"  I am pretty competitive by nature and actually look forward to the challenge.  History shows us that hard times come and go and I remember my grandparents stories of resilience and self reliance during rough times in their lives.  One thing they always had was that sparkle in their eye when they talked about how much the little things in life were the most memorable.  As I get older I realize how time seems to fly by.  I think simplifying things and getting back to the basics in the day to day will be a way to slow things down a bit.   

Cheers to summer, I hope it does not fly by too quickly!

West Virginia Mountains Landscape Daily Oil Painting



"Take me Home"

6x6" oil on masonite art board

My two oldest sons went on a Habitat for Humanity trip for spring break with our church's youth group.  I was very proud of them for giving their time and talents during a time that most of us would prefer to go to the beach.

This painting is quite primitive, I kind of wanted to keep on painting but there was something about it that I liked and didn't want to ruin or enhance it.  I decided to leave it as it is.  I would like to do a few variations of this scene.  The original picture is quite expansive so there is a lot to work with.

Oh, and yes the title is in reference to John Denver, but I will go into that subject in my next painting of West Virginia : )

Hereford Cattle Calf Cows Art Landscape Daily Oil Painting

 
"Hereford Calf"

6x6" oil on primed masonite art board

I live in the Midwest and see many cows.  I think the Herefords are my favorite to paint.  I love the color of their hides in the sunlight and those sweet white faces.  I like to simplify all the different planes on their enormous bodies.

This painting may look familiar to some of you.  I have not been able to enjoy much studio time lately so I thought I would post one of my favorites.  Midwest landscapes are my familiar and bring much peace.  I painted this at the end of last summer.  I should be in the studio for a little bit today and hope to post a few new paintings later this week.  Have a good one!

"Spring Break, Early Morning"

This is a "wish you were here" painting.  We are not in Florida this spring.  Thankfully we are having warm weather here in the Midwest.   There is plenty of outdoor work to do, my garden is already full of weeds.  I don't even mind, it feels so good to be outside.

Have a Great weekend!
