Thank you for following my art this year. Thank you for your kind words and inspiring comments throughout the year. This connection is so special to me. With much gratitude I look forward to the New Year!!
I painted a "First Home Sweet Home" portrait for my oldest son and daughter in law for Christmas. She asked me a couple years ago and I finally got it done. I knew they wouldn't be expecting it. They are now in their forever home where they will hang this sweet memory. She is going to attach a house key to the front of the frame. Such a joy to paint.
December is such a whirlwind month and I am always grateful for any time I can carve out for painting. I put my music on and pick up a brush and everything else fades away. No wonder I crave painting.
Quiet Monday, at least for the next hour. The bird of Indiana is the cardinal. The female's colors are much more muted than the fiercely red male. This original painting and Prints are available.
When you paint 4 paintings in a row that don't deserve to see the light of day let alone the cyber world you go back and post something from when you remembered how to paint. Sigh
Happy Cyber Monday. Lots of deals here and prints of most paintings. Also prints and postcards in my Etsy shop, just search HeidiMalottArt or just Heidi Malott.
I saw these out buildings while on a bike ride with my husband. I couldn't wait to paint the way the light shown on the structures and the back drop of Fall color.
Inspired by the beauty of stained glass I painted this years ago and every year I paint more than one so that they are available at Christmas time.
They are still individually painted making them vary slightly in brushstroke and color, yet they are originally made with love and devotion to this time of year. Contact me if you would like to purchase a 2018 Season rights to print this picture on your Church bulletin or program during Christmas. $50
The sun was setting and everything about this corner just had to be painted. I think my favorite thing (besides the awesome brick building) is that sliver of light 😍, full of mood.
I just wish I had time to stop in for a pint. Maybe next time!

The sunrise was so beautiful this morning. The mottled lavender clouds and the sunlight breaking through over the dried fields. This was one if those lucky moments when the paintbrush seems to go on autopilot and paint from the heart. Does not happen often. After painting intensely all day on some difficult subject matter I started to clean up for the day. My son and husband ran out to pick up a movie and carry out. I knew I didn't have much time but I was in the mood to just paint for fun. Glad I did because this one was fun! My husband ended up running into a friend and and chatted so I had a little more time to finish up.
Farewell October. You went by so swiftly. oil sketch. Happy Sunday. Hope your cozy. I am putting on some chicken chili and hope to find some time to paint. Have a great week. This original oil painting is available as well as prints.
The last of the Hibiscus for the season. Hope your weekend is relaxing. We are moving a mountain of leaves today so I probably won't be moving much tomorrow. The fresh air will be good though, right?
