I’m taking a little break from the Lights of Night to share some of my favorite digital paintings from the last week for Paint Party Friday. I continued my exploration with the new process, moving from monochromatic paintings to multiple colors. I love the feeling in this first one, which I call Winter Fire. It does have kind of a fire-and-ice feel to it, doesn’t it? I like how the trees are just barely visible, but you see enough of them to make them out. What do you see in this painting? What is your interpretation of the scene?
Another favorite this week is a study of lines. Nature’s lines. The lines you find in nature often seem chaotic, but there is a pattern to them. I love seeing the pattern in things, whether it’s in nature or in an engineering problem. Just call me goofy!
Finally, in the spirit of the Lights of Night theme that I have going on this week, I thought I would share a digital creation that is not a “painting” but has the feel of night. This one was taken during the middle of the day, but I love that I can give an impression of night through my processing. I call this work “Night into Day.” Hmmm… maybe I should try making a painting out of this one, and see what happens!
If you want to see more of what I’ve been creating you can follow me on Instagram or Flickr. I’ve been posting new work there daily.
Happy Holidays to the Paint Party Friday crowd!

I really love the direction you are taking with your digital painting – so unique and beautiful
Thank you so much Brenda! I’m in my element with this.
The paintings make me feel like I’m looking from a frosty window with ice crystals out into winter wonderland. So beautiful. That last photo is marvelous. Such a great effect. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I hope we meet up this next year some time. Happy PPF
wow, they are amazing and so good and beautiful.Well done, Kat. Have a lovely Christmas.
Kat these are wonderful. I love the first one – it makes me think of a cold wintry morning with the sun struggling to rise turning the white world orange and the trees barely visible through the frost and the fog of a freezing winter’s day! Happy holidays!
Beautiful, I love how wintery these feel, even though the colors are warm.
Love these- they are so ethereal. Have a wonderfully festive season, and a happy, healthy and arty 2013.
Lovely digital paintings, Kat!
Love that visual texture you create!!

Happy PPF and Happy Holidays!!

beautiful artwork. the first one reminds of looking out a window into a storm with the reflected light of a fire from the room. the second one captures the light of a winter day perfectly. and the third one is just stunning in its starkness. thanks for sharing!
These are all beautiful. Trees are one of my favorite subjects, and I love what you’ve done with them here.
Isn’t digital painting fun!…and you do it so well Kat.
May you have a wonderful Christmas…and lots of inspiration in 2013.
Kat, your works are simply wonderful. Very moving to the heart and soul. Happy Holidays.
So soft and beautiful! I especially love the texture in the third piece.
Happy PPF!
Beautiful! Your images remind me of Turner’s paintings and the Night into Day is just breathtakingly stunning! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for the lovely words! To have anything I’ve created remind you of a Turner painting. Wow. Happy Holidays to you as well!
So lovely. Reminds me of a sunset on a blowy, snowy day.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas Kat! Happy PPF.
