About the Item
Artist Comments
The place that inspired this watercolor painting is among the many lovely locations that are the foothills of Mt. Diablo in the East Bay Area near San Francisco. In spring, I go to this spot to paint the old almond trees in bloom, and I particularly enjoy seeing the unpredictable spring skies that become a watercolor friendly indigo blue, turning everything in the landscape into a delightful drama.
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.
