Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting, Mixed Media, Fine Art For Sale, “In Search Of” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

I tried to capture a photo of this view while I was a passenger on a recent road trip so I could paint it later. It's a bit exaggerated in color but then what's new! I always like to push the colors and working with these blues and greens was a nice change. Road trips can still be fun once out of the city! This painting comes framed in a white wooden frame ready to hang. FRESH OFF THE EASEL...

Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting, Mixed Media, Fine Art For Sale, “Small Town” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

I took off one afternoon to explore a small town here in Texas near my home in Houston. It was refreshing to see the older buildings and to imagine their history and all the stories they hold. I think it's important to not forget some of our history and maybe even slow down some... I'm used to living in Houston but it was refreshing to walk around and take my time without being rushed. I am grateful to be able to explore so close to home. Do you enjoy a change of scenery? Hoping to get out of the studio more often! This painting comes in a white wooden frame ready to hang!

Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting ,Mixed Media, Fine Art For Sale, “I am Your Strength” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

The title of this painting, “I Am Your Strength”, jumped off the pages of my prayer journal. For me, I know my strength is not from me but from my Creator and so when I saw this group of trees with the light blindly piercing through I was inspired to paint what represented the strength of God in my life. The curve of the trees represents the paths we take and yet they still stand and are able to support life. I love looking at trees and wondering about their journey through multiple hardships and am in awe that even the trees are supported by the same Creator that holds me up in all kinds of weather. I think this painting just keeps surprising me and I see more and more in it that I didn’t even realize I painted. The place and time that inspired this painting is very dear to me and life changing. So much to think about...!

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 Colorful Landscape Painting, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “WHISPERS OF THE TRUTH” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

Hard to believe but the inspiration for this painting was a view of an area that was dry, with dead leaves and very few patches of green. I decided to paint this as I imagined it could be, filled with color and exaggerated brushstrokes on a vibrant red background. Yes, now this tells the story of what it could be or even what the area’s true identity really is.... Sometimes what our eyes perceive is not the whole truth, maybe there is more? Enjoy your day and practice looking a bit longer at your surroundings and maybe more will be revealed!

Train, Red Train Car, Railroad,Contemporary Mixed Media Painting, Original Painting “Two Worlds” by Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

I tried to capture a glimpse of two worlds in a moment of parallel existence. Both of these exist and usually carry on without bothering the each other yet has anyone ever wanted to jump on the train, anyone want to just jump off the train and sit??? Just thinking as I sat watching the train go by so slowly and wondering if it would ever end. Do we still think the grass is greener over there?

Palm Trees,Contemporary Mixed Media Landscape, Original Painting “Three Sisters” by Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

Sisters is a term I view as one of endearment. I don't have sisters as in siblings but I do have close relationships with women that I view as "sisters". What fun to be together and share the good, the bad and even that crazy hair! "Three Sisters" travelling through life holding each other up in any storm that comes their way. Enjoy!

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!

Birds, Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting, Mixed Media, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “After the Storm” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

I love exaggerating the colors of the objects I paint but in this painting I tried to calm them down. I wanted to express the feeling of rest after going through a “storm”. The inspiration for this was an area in Houston that had been under water. As the water was receding and the clouds clearing the birds found food and in the stillness a beautiful glow of warm light blanketed the area. The light transformed the darkness and revealed the softened harmony of the landscape that was still standing after the crisis. The area was changed but I loved looking at the surviving trees and reflecting on how we weather storms and gather strength as the Light covers us and leads us through. Take a moment to look around and be inspired!

Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting, Mixed Media, Trees, Fine Art For Sale, “The Road is Still On The Map” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

My close friends and family know that I “dislike” driving but always enjoy being the passenger. ( Too many drivers have used my car as their braking system!) As a passenger I’m able to take photos and have a chance to be inspired by the view without driving off the road! This painting, “The Road Is Still On The Map” was woven together from several scenes as my friend and I were exploring and I was trying to give directions from our paper map and our GPS / Google devices on a recent trip.

 We were often pleasantly surprised that the road we were on was on the map. In painting this I used many of the colors that actually existed but as always I exaggerated some to draw attention to the trees that otherwise are only glanced at... you know, just more green trees! So in naming this painting I was referring to the road we were on but also thought a bit more about life in general.... perhaps the road to happiness and light is still on the map, yes, even today it is able to be found! Enjoy your day and don’t stop “seeing” where you are going!

Contemporary Colorful Landscape Painting ,Mixed Media, Fine Art For Sale, “Then The Clouds Rolled In” By Passionate Purposeful Painter Holly Hunter Berry

Do you ever look up at the sky and just stop to let your imagination create a story? Most likely your answer is yes. The inspiration for this painting, “Then The Clouds Rolled In” started with me pulling over to the side of the road and gathering photos with my phone. ( I wished I had my sketch book with me to at least note the wild variations of colors but I did try to recreate them in the painting.) I stayed there staring at the sky after I put my phone down and actually took the time to just enjoy and take in the incredible beauty before me. The trees in the distance were standing tall but fighting for importance as the clouds moved and colors shifted. The longer I stared the more the scene unfolded with rich symbolism and pieces of my personal history and of mankind began to weave a story. Do you still take time in your busy day to stop and look at the sky? Does this scene jog a memory of yours? Seems like whatever I imagined or was reminded of was an event of extreme significance and I felt needed to be painted. My work is not even close to the image I saw but I tried to recreate the emotional impact it left on me. Hoping it encourages you to slow down and look up into the sky!

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.
