About the Item

Artist Comments
Quaint houses line a quiet alleyway, where overgrown weeds and trees bring a sense of life. Warm tones and impressionistic strokes add charm throughout. In this piece, artist Catherine McCargar invites the viewer to join her on neighborhood walks, discovering architectural gems and garden details in the towns she visits. She reminds us that even the overlooked corners can hold unexpected beauty.


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.
