Smokey Mountains in the Spring Original Oil Painting Heidi Malott Art

Spring in the Smokies 

oil on panel

6x6 inch 

2019

We drove to Florida for Spring Break this year and stopped to enjoy the Smokey Mountains for a bit.   After another long Winter it was nice to see the first signs of Spring.  We are back home and enjoying warmer weather. 

I have not painted in too long.  I can't believe how good it felt to move paint around again.

After a day of painting I am glad I salvaged some of my work.  I struggled with a headache all day yesterday and two different paintings were ready to be wiped clean but I left them sit and walked away.  This morning I looked at my work with fresh eyes and may have saved one of them.

Blue Ridge Mountains Daily Oil Painting Heidi Malott

"Mountain Dew"

6x6" oil on gesso board

My older kids have helped out with volunteer work with their youth group for a few years now.  They travel to West Virginia in the Spring and always come home with great stories and pictures.  Kind of like home, the weather would change drastically within a few hours.  Here the cold, misty morning was breaking into warm sunshine.  Thanks for the great pics guys

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 : )

Colorado Cows Daily Oil Painting Black Angus

The cows and lush green countryside were actually a welcome sight for us Midwesterners after traveling through the desert and canyons of Arizona for two weeks.  They just looked so content on the mountainside

Tennessee Mountains Driving at Dawn Oil Painting

"Tennessee Morning"

A couple weeks ago my family and I were driving through the Tennessee Mountains. It was very early in the morning and the fog from the night before was burning off. The fog still lingered in some areas making the landscape blue and hazy. The sun lit up the bare trees here and there. This was fun and challenging.


This painting is 6"x6" oil on primed masonite artboard.

Contemporary Autumn Abstract Rural Landscape daily oil painting

Autumn Abstract


6"X6" oil on primed masonite. Today I switched gears in the studio. I must be getting tired of the sub zero snowy, icy weather of late, for today I was not in the mood to paint with grays and cool colors. So, I had some fun and it made me feel a bit warmer. I was on a roll and my seven month old took a long nap, so I actually painted 3 small paintings! I will post them in the following days.

This amazing view was from the Durango & Silverton narrow guage railroad up in the Animas Mountains.  One of the best things my family has ever done.

original Locomotive Steam Engine Train oil painting Mountains Durango & Silverton

sold
A great gift idea for those train buffs that are so hard to buy for! I have painted this train climbing the San Juan mountains in my mind ever since we rode on this narrow guage railroad. I finally put it in paint. This view was so incredible. I took this shot from one of the windows of the Pulman coach car towards the back of the train. It was breathtaking watching the locomotive pull us up and around the side of the mountain. The sound of the engine chugging away to pull all those cars up the mountain, the clickety clack of the track, the cinders in the air and the rocking of the cars, what an awesome experience. You could lean out (careful of any trees sticking out ahead of you) and look down over a thousand feet! This awesome journey runs most of the year on the Durango / Silverton in Colorado.
