Lundy Creek Cabin - Sierra Nevada California impressionist oil painting - Karen Winters

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Lundy Creek Cabin
5 x 7 oil study
It was last fall when I started this small study of a cabin, closed for the winter, up Lundy Creek in the Eastern Sierra. But I put it aside for awhile as I thought about some changes I wanted to make with regard to the color temperature and how […]

Sycamore Trail - California Plein Air Oil Painting - Landscape by Karen Winters

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Sycamore Trail
9 x 12 oil
This plein air painting was actually painted last fall, as the leaves of the sycamores were starting to turn - but somehow it escaped my scanner until now. It’s one of the paintings I’ll be bringing to the Casita Del Arroyo show and sale - presented by the California Art […]

Pasadena Arroyo Bridge Painting - Arroyo Bridge Reflections

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Arroyo Bridge Reflections
9 x 12
oil on linen panel
This is a familiar scene I return to time and time again - a view of one of the arroyo seco bridges from down below. I have walked across that stream at varying depths - after a rain storm and in mid summer when the ground is just […]

Malibu Landscape Oil Painting - Creekside in Malibu

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Creekside in Malibu
(Malibu Creek State Park)
11 x 14
oil on linen panel
Malibu Creek, in the Santa Monica Mountains, is swelling with winter rains, and the water is nourishing the surrounding lands. This painting celebrates the return of spring in one of our most beautiful local areas, Malibu Creek State Park.
This is an area that I […]

Sierra Joy - June Lake Loop - California Sierra oil painting

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

“Sierra Joy”
June Lake Loop area, near Rush Creek
20 x 24 inches oil on canvas
This is the next in my continuing series of paintings of the eastern Sierra, a studio painting based on plein air reference of a beautiful spot on the June Lake Loop, off of Highway 395. Aspens and rabbitbrush provided the warm […]

Victorian Lady - Figurative Oil Painting

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Victorian Lady
9 x 12
oil
Along with my landscape painting, I’m getting interested in figurative work, and occasionally make time to paint from a live model as I did this last weekend at Randy Higbee’s studio in Costa Mesa. The assembled painters had the opportunity to paint this lovely woman, Toni, wearing one of her many period […]

Sierra Storm - Sierra Nevada Oil Painting - California Landscape Painter Karen Winters

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Sierra Storm
12 x 16 inches
Oil on linen panel
In the fall, storms begin to gather over the Sierra, offering dramatic lighting effects. This storm was breezing up and brought two days of downpour in its wake. We outran it and came back to paint another day. The sage and rabbit brush looked wonderful rimlit by the […]

King Charles Cavalier Puppy Portrait - “Precious”

Friday, January 29th, 2010

“Precious”
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy
6 x 6 oil on canvas panel
SOLD (please inquire about other animal paintings)
I saw this little pup last weekend and begged the owner to let me take a picture. I always enjoy doing animal studies and the challenge of fur and dramatic lighting made it a special treat. The […]

Pomegranate Study - Still Life by Karen Winters

Pomegranate Study
8 x 10 oil on linen panel (commission)
SOLD
This pomegranate painting, a larger version of an earlier small study, was painted for a client who was looking for something bright and juicy for her dining room. I was happy to paint this larger one. Maybe one day I’ll paint it even larger still.
All of […]

Bare Naked Sycamores
12 x 9 inches
Oil on linen panel
This is the 2nd of two plein air paintings I did last weekend at Eaton Canyon. The first, posted earlier, featured the mountainside, looking north. This painting, painted from the same spot, looks across the riverbed in a southeasterly direction. After a day standing at the […]
