Low clouds stretch across the evening sky and mirror perfectly on the lake's surface. Shades of purple and blue deepen into gray, signaling the arrival of night. The fading light invites a final moment of stillness before retreating indoors.
About the Artist
Artist Patty Phan captures the beauty of Colorado’s landscapes in her impressionist watercolor paintings. “My art is of places that I love and conjures up specific memories,†says Patty. Her compositions reflect those quiet moments when a strenuous hike, climb, or bike ride pauses, revealing the surrounding beauty. Patty studied art, but as a first-generation Vietnamese-Chinese American, she felt pressured to pursue a stable career, leading her to architecture and technology. In 2020, she picked up a brush again and rediscovered her passion. Now, she paints in a bright corner of her home, accompanied by her two terriers and a playlist that ranges from The Beatles to Beyoncé. When not creating, she enjoys rock climbing, dancing, and spending time with family.

I painted this from a smaller painting that I did on site at one of my favorite spots along the American River. The sun was going in and out of the clouds, so it was tricky to get a consistent lighting effect. The surface is a sanded paper with a neutral lavender tone that sets off the luminosity of my pastel sticks.
About the Artist
Pastel artist Patricia Prendergast creates impressionist artworks that depict the rivers and landscapes near her home in Sacramento, California. With each nature vignette, she captures the sense of larger natural rhythms through quick mark-making, mauve undertones, and a tranquil and serene haziness. Her work recalls the paintings from the Hudson River School such as Thomas Cole and Asher Brown Durand. Before working on her pastels at home in her studio, she spends hours studying nature on walks along the river near her home. Since becoming an artist, she says “everything is more vivid - the beauty of light and shadow in the trees, the subtlety of the color of clouds, the sparkle and reflections in water.” Her work as been exhibited in solo shows around California. She is represented by UGallery.
