When Spring Comes to Eaton Canyon - by Karen Winters

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

“When Spring Comes to Eaton Canyon” 11 x 14 oil on panel
Today I had the pleasant experience of painting at Eaton Canyon in Pasadena with my teacher and one of her other classes. The day was gray and overcast when we arrived around 9, but by 1 pm patches of blue sky […]

Incoming Tide - Dana Point - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Incoming Tide (at Dana Point) 16 x 20 - oil on canvas
SOLD
OK, I’ll say it. This is probably one of my favorite paintings so far, for several reasons. I like the color, the composition, but mostly I like the energy and action of it and how it reminds me of being there. It’s […]

Big Sur Seascape Oil Painting - California Coast - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

“California Coast” (near Big Sur) 16 x 20 oil on canvas
Click to enlarge to higher resolution image
When we were first married, young and footloose, my husband and I loved to travel up and down California on photo safaris. One of our favorite places was the coastline. So it’s not surprising that […]

Farmland sunset - Karen Winters

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Farmland Sunset - 9 x 12 oil on board
An almost abstract painting of some of California’s rich farmland, with a few extra color twists.
The subtitle of this blog post is “Tired but Happy”
My beloved and I spent the day today shooting desert wildflowers … From morning to sunset, with occasional breaks […]

Wildflower Wonderland - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Friday, March 21st, 2008

“Wildflower Wonderland” 12 x 16 oil
This year promises to have an extraordinary crop of wildflowers due to the heavy rains we enjoyed for part of the winter. The desert bloom is under way and will continue for several more weeks.

Spring Memories - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

“Spring Memories” 12 x 16 oil on canvas
Yes, spring is here - the hillsides covered with fresh green grass, the birds singing in every tree, and gentle breezes replacing the harsher winds of winter. Well, as harsh as it gets in Southern California - which is not much, all things considered.
This particular […]

Fun Zone (LA County Fair) - National Watercolor Society 2008 painting - Karen Winters

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Fun Zone - 20″ x 22″ - watercolor on paper
Well, I didn’t think it could happen two years in a row, and with such different styles and subject matter, but, happily, it did. I just got my notification in the mail that this painting has been accepted to the 2008 […]

Listen up - it’s another new show

Friday, March 14th, 2008

“Listen Up” - watercolor on paper 5 x 7
OK, so this is the final fourth of four shows I’ve got work in right now. In addition to the Verdugo Hills Small Image show, the California Art Club “Arroyo Seco” show at the Pas. library and the “Artists of the Canyon” show at […]

A Spring Walk - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

A Spring Walk - 9 x 12 - watercolor sketch
This one is a little bit from real life, and a little bit from imagination. I embellished the wildflower strewn meadows just a tad beyond reality, but if you don’t tell, I won’t.
Ah, springtime. Our peach tree is in bloom, magnolias are covered […]
