Mendocino Cottages, Original Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Cozy cottages line up snugly on a quiet street in the coastal town of Mendocino, California. The scene leads to the top of the road, where the sky blends into the ocean, hidden by a soft morning mist. Artist Catherine McCargar is drawn to such quaint places and captures them with affectionate detail. Her mastery of color in the medium is evident in the variety of greens she created for the trees and bushes.

About the Artist
Impressionist Catherine McCargar expresses her deep admiration of nature through landscape paintings of Northern California. While she is well-versed in a range of media, her preferred medium for painting is watercolor. The fluidity of the paint allows her to capture the muted undertones and the fleeting light found in the natural world. While the backgrounds of her paintings are impressionistic, the foregrounds of her paintings are often highly detailed, showcasing her technical mastery over her medium.
