New Website...

I now have a new website... www.vonniekohn.com. Please come by & visit. I don't have a guest book page, but you are invited to add your comments on the "contact us" page. I hope you will enjoy...

New Works: I have been working on a painting of a ranch near Gainsville, Tx. The silos that sit near the road have intrigued me for years. I am now putting them into a watercolor painting. I will post it when I'm nearer to finishing. I've included the black angus cattle that seem to always be about. Have a good day.

"Antique Pitcher with Fruit"


It's been awhile since I've last posted. The Autumn foliage is turning into a collage of beautiful colors, too numerous to describe. It lasts only a short while, though, until all of the leaves will fall, leaving the spiry branches of our trees to stand bare and alone. I was standing under some trees behind our property amid a rainbow of leaves that drifted all around me. It was like standing under a waterfall of leaves when the wind blew! It's inspiring me to paint an autumn scene.
My art gallery is preparing for a miniature show & I have been painting some small works..mostly still-life. It has been a good change of pace from the large studio works I painted for the Arboretum Show in Dallas. Here is an example of my recent efforts....
