Contemporary Colorful Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, “One Answer” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry



I tend to look at the ground while walking so I don’t trip and fall again. I seem to break bones easily these days! When I did stop one day and look up, the scene was breathtaking! I just stood there and took the time to stare at the leaves of many colors and the light dancing on and through them. In my walk through life I’ve learned that my answers to questions come from above and so I created this painting, “One Answer” to illustrate that there is but one answer to my questions and it is to look up and listen to the Creator of all. Many people respond to this painting because of the contrast of colors and it’s drama. I hope this painting will be a blessing to anyone that takes a moment to look at it and allows it to tell you it’s message. Enjoy!

Contemporary Colorful Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, “Approach The Garden” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry



I’ve always enjoyed looking through those books showcasing beautiful gardens that seem to invite a visitor to sit and enjoy the view. Those get the attention but not all gardens are that spectacular. I am often grateful for a bit of shade and some unusual plants that have survived on their own to surround my bench or even just my blanket on the ground. I treasure the moments I can spend outside surrounded by the simple beauty of nature. It’s these times I first express sincere gratitude to the Creator of the creations and then rest in the moment. Yes, it must be repeated, gratitude is the position I take as I “Approach the Garden”. Perhaps the garden can be anywhere and everywhere...for this I am grateful!

Contemporary Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, "Through The Stained Glass", By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry


The day was perfect as I set out hiking with a dear friend on a beautiful sunny day. I was enjoying time off from daily routines and ready for a new adventure. As we walked up on the scene that inspired this piece I became speechless. It was as if time stood still. Light came through the leaves in such a way that I felt as if I was looking through a stained glass window, similar to those in churches I attended long ago. Nature's chapel. Yes, it was a very good day!

Contemporary Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, "Headed for Home", By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry



“Headed For Home” is the title for this painting and this time it seemed to name itself! I occasionally have a painting that not only paints itself (almost) but also has a strong identity. Home means different things but this painting tells the story of our hearts longing to be home, in a place of safety and comfort, a place we can be welcomed. The light is always on and leading us back home no matter where our travels lead. The light shown here represents to me the light of Christ as He leads the way home. I can’t add anymore to that!

Contemporary Colorful Landscape,Wildlife, Deer Painting, Mixed Media, “Food is Provided” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry


I am indeed a city girl having lived in major cities all of my life with the exception of a brief time in a "small Texas town" in my teen years. Most wildlife I've seen live in the zoo and Bambi is the name of any deer running around! So, when I am able to leave the city and explore nature I LOVE it and am like a little kid when surprised by the unexpected. Last year I had a wonderful time visiting with a friend of mine who lives in a small Texas town where deer are running around everywhere and that means on her property as well. Imagine the surprise when I watched her feed the regulars that come to her home for dinner daily and are even comfortable standing a few inches away! I don't want to ever lose the joy of watching the simple basic occurrences in life that are taken for granted as we age out of childhood. Something I thought about as I watched the deer eating was that it seemed like a lesson and I will try to explain....

 "Although in life there are uncertainties and unfair moments, "Food is Provided" in ways that can be unexpected and in ways never predicted. I painted this to remind me to expect the unexpected and to continue to be grateful for daily treasures. We are provided for, we just need to accept the gift!"

Contemporary Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, “Lines Are Blurred” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry



This painting was inspired by one of my walks in the woods late one summer. There was such a variety of trees and various plants to look at that I was made even more aware of my lack of knowledge of the native plants of the area. As a painter I started to try to decode the numerous greens and subtle shades of red, orange, blue and more. I chose to exaggerate these colors in my painting to draw attention to the multiple edges and shapes that a casual observer might just call green. No, they are not all green but a lovely combination of multiple colors all blending together in one landscape. "Lines Are Blurred" might tell several stories...I suppose you can pick the one that rings true to you! Enjoy and thank you for looking!

Contemporary Landscape, Tree Painting, Mixed Media, “All Are Welcome” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry


How many times do we see the sign, “All Are Welcome”? I am sure it is not often enough. We have all found ourselves in situations where we have felt like an outsider, not included and even at times aggressively excluded. Seems as if it is the norm at times. The scene that inspired me to paint this impressed upon me the idea that many different “types” could blossom and grow together under the warmth and comfort of the sun. Something to ponder as I too grow under the guidance of the Son.

“Joy in the Journey”, Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

Joy in the Journey



This is one of my newest mixed media pieces, fresh off the easel.  I've discovered that I just love painting these wild and crazy flowers.  These flowers start out as "blobs" of ink and I really have to use my imagination to make them come to life!

This piece has many, many layers.  It has layers of paper and paint.  It also has some stenciling and layers of ink.  To finish it off, I added the words, "Discover the Joy in the Journey".  This painting truly was all about discovering the joy in the journey!  




This painting is another one that will be up for auction toward the end of May. If you are interested in participating in this event, or if you have any comments, please feel free to send me an email...I would love to hear from you!
