Contemporary Art Impressionism Winter Sunset February Sky Oil Painting Heidi Malott

There was so much inspiration on my drive home the other day.  I could probably paint for a year on that one sunset and still not do it justice.  God is Good!

Ever Feel Like the Sky is Trying to Tell Us Something? Contemporary Impressionism Oil Painting



Ever Feel Like the Sky is Trying to Tell Us Something?

oil on panel
6x6"

No I am not wearing my tin foil hat.  But truly, think about it.  They sky is ever changing.  Sometimes quite dramatically.  Quite the show on a regular basis.  When I look at the sky, especially for us land locked folks, I imagine it's vastness like the ocean above us.

Nanu Nanu!  May the Force be with You!  I want to believe!  live long and prosper!  to infinity and beyond!  for my geekly friends  ;)

Contemporary Impressionism Spring Storm Clouds Landscape Oil Painting


"Spring Storm Clouds"
oil on panel 
6x6"

No shortage of dramatic skies this spring.  A feast for the eyes for sure.  Here the clouds broke in time for the sunset.  I try to paint these scenes quickly without second guessing and over working the piece in order to keep it fresh and dramatic.

The skies after a storm at sunset never disappoints.  In wanting to keep the freshness of this fleeting moment I simplified the details a bit and moved fast in order to keep the colors clean and not overworked.

The sky was changing within minutes.  One of the best shows I've seen.  Here above the trees the sky was violet and purple and the last warm hues of the sun slipped into darkness.

The Autumn sky felt so big as cold winds blew above the dry golden fields.  You couldn't help but notice that the lines of the clouds in the sky seemed to emulate the lines of the freshly harvested land.  and yes, it is time to pull out the woolies :)

Tranquil skies in violet at dusk.  I love what this lighting does to the greens in the landscape.  Here you see a combination of warm and cool cool greens before the sunlight slips away.

Summer days are winding down and there is beauty every where.  The colors are rich and abundant.  Very inspiring for my latest landscapes.  I tried to capture the bright and clear day with bold and numbered strokes.

The clouds today gave this painting such a whimsical feel.  The utility poles seem to dance and sway.  Funny how paintings take on a life of their own.

Spring Landscape Contemporary Impressionism



"Early Spring Colors"
6x6" oil

The clouds were rolling by quickly on this brisk spring day.  The new greens are really starting to pop.  This was a fun and a fast paced painting with thin washes and thin layers of color.  You will have to trust me on this, the picture here does not do the original painting justice.  The colors have more subtle shifts of color and the value has more contrast.  The blues don't look so glowing, more realistic or atmospheric.  I gave up trying to take a better one.  Maybe when the painting is dry I will try again.  :)

Violet Clouds at Dusk Contemporary Impressions



"Violet Clouds"
6x6" oil

I divided and attempted to conquer a busy, detailed scene by simplifying and blocking in the bigger shapes.  Something about these scenes cut down to the bare bones is very relaxing and harmonious.
