This Side of the Pond

24x14 oil on Linen

Sometimes I spend all my time looking across to the other side of the pond for something
great to paint and I miss out on what's happening right in front of me!

Have a great day - Kathryn

Yupo Paper Experiment

7x11 Oil on Yupo Paper

This was a fun experiment this morning! I had some leftover paint and a piece of Yupo paper laying around that I had played with before using watercolors (they just wipe right off of this slick surface). So I decided I needed some loosin-ing up before getting into anything serious today. What do you think of my experiment? Oh, almost forgot......it is also done with the knifes....but you could probably tell that by now and a simple composition off the top of my head!

Sometimes we just have to throw caution to the wind!

Have a beautiful day.

Jarbidge Nevada "Tree Study" No.1

8x10 Oil

To purchase please contact me, Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

This is a study of Trees!

Some of the artists that I admire have an amazing way of capturing the beauty of trees. I know.....such a simple thing your thinking to yourself......but I can assure you, to paint them without them looking overworked......and looking like a real tree in the forest is not so simple.

This tree stand is one of many up in the Jarbidge, Nevada area where the evergreen trees there look like perfect cones....I am not sure exactly what kind of trees they are, so if you happen to know the correct breed I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for Visiting!

Standing Tall

18x24 Watercolor

To purchase, please contact me Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

Matted and framed

An emotional week and through my tear swollen eyes I painted this very beautiful fall stand of trees. I kept thinking to myself to hold my chin up......Stand Tall and keep looking ahead.

Hope you like this one as much as I do.

Thanks for Visiting!

High Mountain Road 11x14 Watercolor

This is a much older painting that I
am sending to a local shop in town to
show .....sell......hopefully. So I needed to
catalog it.....which is another great use
of this blog. This one is framed with a
simple oak frame and nicely matted to
show off the colors...which are stronger
than what you see here but I had to take
my photos through the glass today!
