Pasadena afternoon - Cityscape urban oil impressionist oil painting - Karen Winters

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

El Molino Afternoon
11 x 14 oil on board
Strong sunlight streamed through the alley just south of the Pasadena Playhouse in the Playhouse District.
I enjoy the feeling of painting on board. Although it lacks the “spring” of stretched canvas, the paint glides on smoothly and can be pushed around in different ways.
Thanks […]

River Run - California Impressionist Oil painting by Karen Winters

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

River Run (study)
5 x 7 oil
Click the image to see it actual size.
I did this study today to practice painting with a very limited palette and to make a plan for a larger painting . Want to guess what three colors I used? (Not including white.)

Santa Barbara Meadow - Karen Winters California Impressionist Oil Painting

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Santa Barbara Meadow (at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden)
12 x 16 oil on canvas

Whenever we visit Santa Barbara, I try to make some time to visit their beautiful botanic garden which features native plants in natural settings. Last week my husband went to a seminar up in Santa Barbara and I tagged along to take […]

By the silvery moon - California eucalyptus nocturne landscape

Monday, July 21st, 2008

By the Silvery Moon - 9 x 12
Watercolor on Yupo
My friend Brenda Yarborough has recently been painting on Yupo and we were talking about it today and what a tricky but fun medium it is. Yupo is a plastic product in a sheet (like paper) that was developed for the printing industry. […]

Foothill Pines - California Impressionist Oil Painting - Karen Winters

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Foothill Pines
6 x 8 oil on canvas
• SOLD
A gentle road winds through California’s Gold Rush Country, where the oaky foothills give way to the first pines of the Sierras. The morning fog lifts in a slight breeze to reveal the radiant hills of mid summer. A moment of pure tranquility!

Sunset Magic - California Impressionist Painting by Karen Winters

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Sunset Magic
12 x 16 oil on canvas - California impressionist landscape
My latest larger sized landscape draws inspiration from the works of George Inness - a Hudson Valley painter who gradually evolved into an impressionistic style (even though he always rejected the term “impressionist” when it was applied to him.) I have been […]

Tuscan Flavor 1 - Fennel and Mushroom

Monday, July 14th, 2008

“Tuscan Flavor - Fennel and Mushroom”
6 in x 6 in
Remember how I said I was watching more food network and less politics for the moment? As part of that trend, I’ve enjoyed shopping for some vegetables I don’t usually prepare, among them, fennel. This delicate vegetable and its companion mushroom called for […]

Tuscan Vineyard Sunset - Karen Winters Impressionist Oil Painting

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Tuscan Vineyard Sunset 6 x 8 oil on canvas
This is a new size canvas for me that I’m experimenting with. I like the look of it and the slightly larger size than the 5 x 7 makes it a bit easier to paint on. This petite painting would look stunning […]
