California impressionist landscape oil painting - Bishop Byway - rural scene

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Bishop Byway
9 x 12
oil on canvas panel
SOLD
Today’s painting is a rural scene from Bishop, California, focusing on the beauty of fall in this eastern Sierra community. The warm color palette suggests afternoon light. Bishop receives little rainfall during the year (the Sierra catches most of the precipitation on its high peaks.) Temperatures can swing wildly, […]

Arroyo Seco Trail, Colorado Street Bridge painting, revisited

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

“Arroyo Seco Trail”
9 x 12 inches, oil on canvas
SOLD (commission)
I like to paint new things, as a rule, because it’s fun to interpret new subject matter and challenge myself - but from time to time I get a request from a client to paint a new version of a previous painting. In this case, a […]

“Cottonwood Road”
9 x 12 inches

This is the next in my series of fall Sierra paintings, this time with a complementary color palette of orange and blue - a combo that is easy to find in autumn. The Sierra Nevada range rises steeply from Owens Valley and in the afternoon takes on a distinctly blue violet […]

Soaring - California Landscape Oil Painting - Karen Winters

Monday, December 7th, 2009

“Soaring”
16 x 12 oil on canvas
We’re finally getting rain in Southern California - a welcome change from the excessive drought of this past year. I hope that it is sufficient to sink down deep and nourish the parched root systems of all of our plants. They could use a good long drink. I’m optimistic that […]

The Knitting Basket Still Life Oil Painting - Karen Winters

Friday, December 4th, 2009

“The Knitting Basket”
SOLD (commissioned work)
11 x 14 oil on canvas
This painting was a pleasure to paint for a client as a Christmas gift for a family member, portraying the items the person uses in pursuit of her favorite hobby, knitting.
