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

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

El Molino Afternoon
11 x 14 oil on board
SOLD to a collector from Pasadena
Strong sunlight streamed through the alley just south of the Pasadena Playhouse in the Playhouse District.

Foothill Pines
6 x 8 oil on canvas

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 - 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 […]

“Onion and Peppers” 5 x 7 oil on canvas
After months of watching virtually nothing but election news on TV and radio, I decided that I am finding the whole thing too stress producing and have switched some of my viewing habits to Food Network. Yeah, I still keep tabs on what’s going on, but I […]
