In 1997, I was working as a designer in New York City and visited the MoMA on my lunch hour one day to view a modern still life exhibit. Picasso's 'Still Life with Pitcher and Apples' really captivated me. It was that plate of apples sitting on top of that super curvy pitcher that inspired me. I had never seen this piece in my art history class or any of the art books I owned. I loved how fresh and casual it was for a still life. It made me feel like he actually had fun painting it. Even though it was painted in 1919, it still looks modern. I bought a poster of the Picasso still life at the museum gift shop that day and it still hangs in my house today!

I'm still in the throes of back to school. With the kids busy, I've been experimenting with some paint colors that I've had for awhile but never really explored their possibilities. This week it's been viridian. It can overpower a painting and look a little acidic at times, but I'm starting to realize it can be really beautiful when mixed with other colors. I love how it complements the red of the apples.
This is painted on a cradled panel, hardware is included and it's ready to hang.

Our family vacation was to Big Bend National Park this summer. The skies and desert landscape were stunning. It felt like we were on another planet. It is awesome to see the vast amount of land left in its natural state. This was the view as you enter the park...its lowest elevation.

West Texas. Love the rustic beauty of the Mesquite trees. Getting some more work in on greens and aerial perspective in landscape, and keeping the brushstrokes loose.

Getting more comfortable with my palette knife. I used it to apply the myriad of blues that make up the water that this magnolia is hanging over at the banks of the bayou. I like the mix of marks that I get from using a brush and a palette knife in the same painting.

More inspiration from my Southern Magnolia tree. I've been capturing the light while simplifying my design, and focusing on surface texture and contrast. It's been so fun to loosen up!

I've been focusing on values and surface texture lately. I feel like I got closer to what I'm going for with this magnolia. It's so hard to capture the stroke textures in a still photo. You can see a video of this painting that really shows off the texture on my instagram @khastingshoganart. You'll also catch a glimpse of my "messy" studio. ;)

One of my favorite paintings is "The Yellow Scale" by Frantisek Kupka. I am just mesmerized by the variety of yellows and the purple complements that he used in that painting. I could look at it all day. I was thinking of it when I painted "Bohemia". Kupka was from the eastern part of Bohemia before it became a part of the Czech Republic. There is some thick palette knife work on this one. It will need at least two weeks to dry. It is not framed.

Some of my favorite things. Blue & white pottery and the beautiful chaos of silvery blue/grey eucalyptus leaves with their contrasting purple stems. I'm endlessly fascinated by nature's wild color combinations.

New Dawn roses from my backyard. This rose was gifted to me by my mother when my triplets were born. It has been dug out of our yards, moved, and re-planted 4 times. It is a strong beauty- just like my daughter.
