Pink Magnolia painting - Huntington Gardens Art - Karen Winters

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Pink Magnolia - Huntington Gardens
16 x 20 oil on canvas
This is another new painting I’m taking to the Huntington for Art Matters (see yesterday’s post for information on the event this coming weekend.
In the spring, the Huntington magnolias are a sight to behold. Their delicacy reminds me of the inside of pink […]

Magnolia Flowers - Huntington Gardens Oil Painting by Karen Winters

Monday, April 28th, 2008

“White Magnolias” 16 x 20 oil on canvas
SOLD at the Art Matters show
The moment I saw these beauties at the Huntington Gardens and Library, I just knew that I had to paint them. They were luminous in the morning light - exactly the kind of subject matter that excites me. This will be […]

Poppy Paradise - Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve - Karen Winters Oil Painting for Make A Wish

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

“Poppy Paradise” 8 x 10 oil on canvas
Yes, this plein-air style painting is for sale. And for a very good cause. It will be delivered tomorrow to the Make a Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles for their 15th annual wine tasting and auction at the Barker […]

Poppy Patch - Pasadena - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

“Return to the Poppy Patch” 9 x 12 watercolor
It’s another walk around the Arlington street poppy garden, but this time in a more decorative, somewhat abstract mood. I abandoned any attempt to be realistic and considered the landscape as a decorative tapestry, with different colors and textures woven through. With some […]

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.

Tulip Magnolia - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Tulip Magnolia - 7.25 x 7.25 inches - watercolor
The magnolias have arrived in all their glory. A procession of bloom should follow for a month or so, so I’m going to make the most of it while I can. In some parts of town the trees are in full bloom, while in […]

Camellia Blossom - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Camellia Blossom - 11 x 14 oil on canvas
Camellias bloom in Los Angeles anytime from November to spring, depending upon the species. These are the first in a botanical series which I’m starting work on. There was a certain learning curve as I worked to render the delicacy of the petals. I’m […]

At a Lavender Farm - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Monday, January 28th, 2008

“At a Lavender Farm”
5 x 7 mixed media (watercolor and acrylic)
We have some friends who live in northern California who own a lavender farm. The climate is perfect for growing this beautiful fragrant plant. The plants actually grow in more regular rows than this, but I sort of like the wild blowsy look.

Sunday Sunshine - Karen Winters daily painting

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Sunday Sunshine - 6″ x 6″ - watercolor with colored pencil accent
Rather, this is the sunshine we WISH we had right about now. It’s been cold, wet and lightning is promised tonight. But I really can’t complain because this sort of weather is such a rare event and the gushing streams and […]

No Mail Today - Karen Winters Daily Painting

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

No Mail Today - 8 x 6.25 - watercolor sketch
I painted this little vignette this morning as a way to get some art practice no matter what the rest of the day would include (chores, an art association meeting and demo, car-shopping, housework, etc.) I’m very disciplined about making sure that […]
