Curvaceous Nights: Oil on Canvas 48 x 72

In this large-scale oil painting I pull from my own experience with love and lust. Being truly in love and expressing it physically as well as mentally is the most beautiful experience you can have. Some people search for this their entire life and fail to find it. I have been “lucky in love.” Most people think of red and warm tones when they think of lust and passion, especially physical attraction. With my Oil on Canvas pieces I drown in my experience completely submitting to them in a helpless state of promised love. In reference to “Lucky in Love” and “drowning” you can better understand my color palette. The blues and greens are the dominate color choice here. The shapes and “curvaceous” lines are truly my own visions I can see and feel. There is a blooming, push and pull of mind and body. The energy is a cool flame smoldering underneath the closed eyes of my own person. My beloved husband, being with him for 8 years pulls from yet another symbol, helps to inspire this painting. “8” has also been seen as the sign for infinity. The line go’s on forever, as will love.

"Aspen Whispers"

"Aspen Whispers" Large Box Frame Canvas / 72”W x 48”H x 2”D Sheets of Handmade Paper-Gelled onto-and Painted on Canvas. Adorned with Acrylic Paint and Metallic Pigments SOLD “Aspen Whispers” is my abstract interpretation of the experience of walking in the Colorado forest-in an aspen grove in particular. There’s the emotional side, which for me is marveling at the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. Then there’s the tactile side, which is an overwhelming need touch everything. The bark of the trees, the yellow leaves and the need to just sit in that space as long as you can. Many artists are inspired by nature and create amazing pieces ranging from sublime realism to a more abstract interpretation but with a recognizable subject matter. I chose to go the more abstract route and have done versions of the same rendition of aspens painted on handmade paper more than 8 times with different large-scale works. This was my first piece in the “Aspen Whi

Eternal Solstice

Eternal Solstice / K.Champion Art / SOLD "Eternal Solstice" SOLD Kristi L. Champion Artistic Visions and Design / Kristi L. Haynes / K.Champion Art 3' x 5' ft / 36" x 60" inch Oil on Canvas, Gold, Silver and Copper Leafing / Gallery Wrap Eternal Solstice - SOLD This bold large-scale Oil on Canvas is a ballet of color and activity. The deep maroons, reds, gold’s, deep greens and the creamy whites dance in the hyperactive shapes and lines giving the viewer believable motion on canvas. This oil like so many of my painting leans toward very warm tones. I love playing with colors and how they react with the ones next to them. Along side that I really love the reflective colors that continually make an appearance in my art. The use of gold, copper and silver leafing helps in the waxing and waning of light that constantly reflects off the surface. It's adorned with texture, shapes and the flourishing color making the balance of harmony come to

"November"

“November” Dried Colorado weeds. Set of 3 Large Plexiglass 3/4 inch thick 36” x 48” each / Total hanging space 112” x 48” / Mounted with 2” Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Glass Standoffs - Art Hangs Out 3” from Wall Painted with Metallic Pigment, and Acrylic Paint “November” is the title of this Plexiglas Triptych and with good reason. If you live in Colorado like I have for my entire life, the color of summer has disappeared, and what remains tends to be a monochromatic landscape of hidden beauty in brown and golden hues. The warm background color that is represented here is painted on the back side of this ¾” solid Plexiglas, while the front is hidden (because Plexiglas comes with its surface covered with a large opaque adhesive covering to prevent scratching and damage). The colors in “November” are made with metallic pigments so there is a tendency to feel like you are looking at a mirage or at the very least, art that seems to move with the reflectiv
