Artist Comments
"When snow dusts the top of Mt. Diablo - a giant in the landscape of the eastern San Francisco Bay Area - there is great excitement in the air," says artist Catherine McCargar. "The snow doesn't last long, so I brought my equipment together for a frigid plein air painting of the mountain while it was still partly white. I liked the way the light snow mingled visually with the grassy foothills, making them appear to be a soft aqua blue." Catherine then finished the painting in her studio from her observations.
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.
