Wildlife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10" Oil

One of my favorite subjects is wildlife....but it is difficult.  For me, the most difficult aspect is getting that perfect image to work from.  

I am lucky to have a friend, Kathy Garvey, who loves to visit the everglades, the wetlands, the beaches, taking wildlife photos.  She is so very generous, as she allows her friends to use her images.

Both of these paintings are from images Kathy, and her brother John, have shared.  What a wonderful gift they have given me!

If you are an photographer, consider sharing your work.  I am sure it will be appreciated!

A modern impressionist Provence village landscape painting featuring a typical passageway in the old French hill top village of St Paul de Vence. Imagine yourself walking up the passage and discovering what awaits you around the corner.

Blue Delphiniums Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

Definitely one of my favorite flowers! I planted this one two years ago in the front of our house and it has literally quadrupled in size since then. There was a hummingbird there this morning, drinking... It felt like a sign.

"Lion Around" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

I couldn't be happier with this guy--love the looseness and the visible brushstrokes. He was painted on a black gessoed canvas, with bits of black showing through.

"Three Babies" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

We have been so in awe of nature at work with this awesome nest and three baby robins. All of us especially love watching the mother and father bring in the worms. We have been trying to figure out how they know who to give the next worm to... The strongest, or the hungriest? Sure would be interesting to track it!

Anyway, three babies in one nest--wow. Can some of you relate?

Elephant in Grays Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

I have been on an elephant and octopus kick, painting larger again too. Just when I think I've found my niche, I'm off in another direction! Just enjoying the ride!

This one was painted on a black gessoed canvas, like most things I've been doing lately. Nice and loose with fun bits of the black peeking through.

"Elephant" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

I remember the days when all I used to paint were elephants! Beyond thrilled to say that this painting came to me the same way as my previous post--completely organically. It is so loose and I had the best time painting it. It's taken me about two years, but it kind of feels like I've come full circle with this one.

"Octopus" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

This painting was one of those that just painted itself. There is nothing more enjoyable than loosing all thought and just letting it happen. Wish it would happen every time I painted--maybe it does eventually. It's pure bliss.

After painting this, I realized it is completely meant to hang in my brother's new home. Hope they love it!

In the Zebra Zone Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn

I have been wanting to do a painting of a zebra for quite some time, mainly because of the black and white patterning. Got completely "lost" in the zone on this one--love when that happens!

"Ready for Your Wish" Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

There is something so magical about dandelions. The wonder of seeing the seeds blow on the breeze continues, even as an adult. Plus, it never hurts to send a few wishes out into the world.

"Barn Owl" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I've worked my way into an extremely happy place with my painting lately. Using the brush has started to feel more natural and am loving the looseness that I've been able to achieve thus far. Getting the thick texture in there with brush as I would do with palette knife is something I'm interested in exploring more.

"Lilac" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I could paint flowers every day right now--and who could blame me really?! My kids wanted me to paint an eagle... I went with lilacs instead. :)

"Heavenly Bluebells" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I'd like to start out this post by thanking all of you for looking and for following my blog. This is such an incredible journey for me, and each painting is a new lesson in learning. I can't imagine doing anything I love more. Thank you :)

Bluebells are another one of my absolute favorite flowers. They will always remind me of our family friend Lisa--got my bluebells from her son's yard. There is no grass there, only bluebells. Heaven.

"Sphinx Hummingbird Moths" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This is the second time I've painted this amazing memory, this time with brush. Two summers ago the hummingbird moths were all over our zinnias. We would sit and watch them and I was able to capture about 20 photos, tough to do since they move so fast!
