The Open Pomegranate - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

The Open Pomegranate - 5 x 7 inches - oil on canvasboard
Yes, I know it is a little radical compared to yesterday’s more sedate persimmon and plumbago composition, but sometimes a girl’s just got to cut loose and do something different. I had purchased a few pomegranates to put in a still life arrangement and […]

Persimmon and Plumbago - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Persimmon and Plumbago - 8 x 10 oil - Available
I was coming into the house from the driveway today and saw that our plumbago shrub was covered with blue-violet blooms. It immediately struck me that those colors would be a good compliment to the yellow-orange persimmon I painted last night, and which […]

Persimmon Passion - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Persimmon Passion 5 x 7 oil
Painted from life and still soaking wet. That’s why you’ll see little shimmery dots in the photo of the room light bouncing off the paint. With Descanso and the Redlands show behind me, I’m busy again getting ready for the art walk in our neighboring town […]

University of Redlands Clocktower - Daily Painting

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

“Clocktower at Sunset -(University of Redlands)” - 11 x 15 watercolor
Here’s another of my University of Redlands series - the chapel clocktower at sunset, framed by a Chinese silk tree (I think) and a deodar fir tree. In the late afternoon the light made the facade of the tower just glow. I pushed the colors, […]

University of Redlands Sunset - Daily Painting

Friday, October 26th, 2007

“Sunset on the Quad” - (University of Redlands) 5 x 7 oil
SOLD
This is one of the paintings I did last weekend en plein air at University of Redlands, about halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. It was painted in the last 20 minutes of light of the day, when the colors are most […]

Temple of Love - Huntington Gardens - plein air

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

“Temple of Love” - 8 x 10 - oil
This little painting was painted plein air style at Huntington Gardens early one morning. The sun was climbing rapidly so I concentrated on painting the “temple of love” first, while the light bounced warmly inside the classical structure. Then, I worked on the foreground and background trees […]

Call of the Desert - Pinyon Crest

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

“Call of the Desert” - 12 x 16 - oil on canvas
SOLD
This new painting - of an Inland Empire desert scene - will be one that I’ll display at the Redlands Centennial Plein Air show and sale this Saturday at the University of Redlands. It depicts a typical byway on the road […]

Poppy fields - daily painting

Friday, October 19th, 2007

“Poppy Fields” - 11 x 14 inches - oil on canvas -
SOLD
This painting, inspired by California’s Lancaster poppy reserve is not for sale but is being donated to a fundraising auction to help an educational program. I had such a good time painting it that I will probably paint […]

A fall garden, plein air

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Fall Garden - 9 x 12 - oil on board
A little plein air painting at Huntington Gardens - in a fall mood. In the foreground: mexican bush sage, backed up by red amaranthus. The green clump was another sage but I don’t know the name of the plant with the yellow foliage. […]

Desert Morning - Daily Painting

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Desert Morning 5″ x 7″ oil
My thanks to those of you who have sent such thoughtful emails recently - either asking questions about my painting practice or what it’s like to be a full-time painter juggling family responsibilities: your questions have given me the opportunity to reflect on what I’m doing, […]
