Paintings and More

Martha Ann Kennedy — Windy Mountain Fine Art

“The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning.” Wassily Kandinsky

Sandhill Crane, oil on Canvas, 48 x 36 inches
Sandhill Cranes come through the San Luis Valley every spring and fall. One of their favorite places to hang out is the Monte Vista Wildlife Refuge where, last spring, I saw a solitary sandhill crane walk resolutely between the rows of newly planted willow trees.

Adobe Potato Cellar near Del Norte, Colorado, Oil on panel 20 x 16

The San Luis Valley of Colorado is America’s second-largest potato growing area. These beautiful, hand-built potato cellars are relics from the 1950s and 1960s. Modern technology has simplified the building of potato storage making these beautiful buildings obsolete. They’ve all been listed as endangered buildings which, hopefully, will lead to them being preserved and maintained.

Garden Signs

Most of these are commissioned. I love painting what people ask for.

Garden signs are all painted on some kind of reclaimed wood and most of these were commissioned projects.

Notecards

Most of my paintings have been made into notecards.
