Kathleen V. Butts (Kathy Hardy)

This was taken for a special feature in our local paper,  The Sandy Post, advertising an exhibition at The Sandy Chamber of  Commerce during the month of  February 2011.

"DIVERSION" Sold

This painting came from one of our many hikes in the Mt. Hood Wilderness area. This was a wonderful hike up from White River Glacier. I loved this fallen tree and wished I had taken more photos. These are Mackenzii River Wolves.  The original oil painting was reproduced on paper by Stephan Fine Arts Galleries, Anchorage, Alaska. They purchased, sold, and printed my work for many years. "Diversion" won the Oregon Wildlife Federation Calender, month of February 1989. My elk painting "Down From The High Country" won the cover. Sold out.

"REFLECTED VIEW" Sold

I loved working on this small tiger painting. It was published as  a giclee' print on paper by Golden Spirit Publishing. Sold out

"THE MOUNTAIN SONG" Sold

This painting was composed from a days adventure into the back country of the Three Sisters, Broken Top is to your right. As we reached these flats, the sun just touched the tops of the  mountains. Coyotes started howling near by, what an inspiration for a painting of wolves, one of my favorite subjects.

"SCENT ON THE WIND" Cropped

This is part of a large painting from early in my career. Clients came from Alaska to purchase it, even though we were in the Stephan Fine Arts Galleries  in Anchorage. We have remained friends all these years.

"WINTER CROSSING" Available

On one of our many wonderful trips into the Rockies, we found ourselves in a  bad snow storm and could see animals moving out of the depth of the falling snow.  We came to this river's edge and were blessed once again to see this beautiful mule deer.  I have completed many paintings from that trip. An elk painting "Down From The High Country" was the cover of an Oregon Wildlife Federation Calendar. "Winter Crossing" is  11"X14'',  oil on linen.

''MAGPIE" Sold

This painting was a commission for another artist. I had not done birds since early in my career, I found Magpies to be very flighty birds, but very beautiful.
