Catherine McCargar
Shadowed Hill Behind the Barn, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Catherine McCargar displays a view of a barn overlooking a verdant hill. After winter rains, the hillsides in northern California green up, and winter morning light casts long shadows. Catherine captures the scene en plein air painting with ample lighting. She renders the simple beauty of a crisp and quiet moment of life on a farm.


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.
