Monday, September 29th, 2008

“Sunset Soiree” SOLD
9 x 12 oil on canvas
Plein air painting
A few nights ago I had the pleasure of doing a plein air sunset painting while listening to the sweet sounds of The Crown City Brass Quintet. Wine, music, art, lovely people, gardens. It just doesn’t get any better than this!
And now, a few […]

Still Life with Red Vase - Karen Winters

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

5 x 7 oil
Still Life with Red Vase
A small study of a vase with a sprig of abelia from a bush blooming outside our door. Painted from life.
I’m off to a nocture paintout this evening, which should be an interesting challenge. I’ve scouted the location and know what to expect, generally, but lighting is […]

California impressionist Malibu landscape - Long and Winding Road - by Karen Winters

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

“Long and winding road”
14 x 18 oil on canvas
The past two or three weeks have been hectic with show openings and closings, receptions and hangings, entries and submissions and all the marketing and followup effort that accompanies those tasks. I’m not complaining … I enjoy every project related to the business of […]

Celebrating - Third Prize - Bowers Museum Invitational Art Show 2008

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

So this was the result of last weekend’s art show at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. This was the first invitational museum show I’ve participated in, and I was thrilled to learn that I received one of the top prizes for “Sunset Magic.” Now, I’m hoping that it will find a good home soon. […]

Malibu California Impressionist Seascape oil painting - El Matador Beach

Friday, September 19th, 2008

El Matador View
11 x 14
oil
This is a painting that I worked on while gallery sitting, enjoying the company of passers-by. With the heat we experienced this past month, there were many days that I would have preferred to have been on that shoreline. Soon enough, I’ll be there.
Today I’m getting ready for a two day […]

Matilija Poppies - California Impressionist Botanical Flower Oil Painting

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Matilija Poppies Trio
11 x 14 oil on canvas
These papery white beauties were growing near the Serra Center in Malibu one blustery summer day. The exciting thing about painting white flowers is enjoying all the colors they pick up from their environment.
This painting blurs the line between abstraction and realism and I hope that it […]

“Arroyo Afternoon”
Colorado Street Bridge, Pasadena, late afternoon in early fall

California Sunset
5 x 7 inch oil on panel
In the wide open heartland of California’s Central Valley, the skies are big and the land is rich and bountiful. This plein aire style impressionistic landscape painting captures the glory of the waning day. I can’t pinpoint the exact location, but the surrounding names are […]
