Catherine McCargar
Chinese Lanterns and Lunaria, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
Catherine developed a soft, warm background to highlight these delicate and papery seed casings. The silvery, translucent lunaria dance around the stunning orange lanterns, complementing each other and nicely contrasting the lacquered black vase. "I wanted to bring beauty and excitement to the wintery landscape," says Catherine.


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.
