The lone boat bears the marks of its history. Here, she sits alone, at rest. Artist Tom Hoerber has kept the composition simple to emphasize the quiet solitude, focusing on the mild ripples in the water. By maintaining starkness, the viewer focuses primarily on the boat, imagining the stories she could tell of adventures at sea.

Artist Catherine McCargar presents an intriguing close-up of succulents tenaciously adorning a dramatic cliff. The view overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Point Lobos Natural Reserve. "This park near Carmel, California, is among my most inspirational places to visit," shares Catherine. She joyfully gets lost in painting, adding detail after detail. The fluid colors allow the movement of pigments and the precision of brushwork.

By limiting the painting to one color, a bit of distraction is removed, simplifying the scene and bringing a special serenity to the painting. Too much detail in one color could overwhelm, however, so each landscape is painted as a vignette, eliminating the sky and much of the foreground. The result is a very relaxing scene that goes right to the heart of what I wanted to communicate in the landscape.

About the Artist
Jill E Poyerd brings peaceful, contemplative moments to life on the canvas. She approaches the canvas with little preparation, instead allowing herself total freedom to create. Both her watercolor and oil painting works depict gorgeous scenes of nature with a style distinctly her own. Something as common as a tree appears soft and ethereal through Jill;s painterly style.

A place with the name Green Valley lives up to its name in this painting. The impressionistic handling of the subject gives room for the imagination of the viewer to draw on personal memories of the joys and promises of spring. This piece is painted to the edges of the paper on heavyweight watercolor paper. It will need a frame for display.

About the Artist
Catherine McCargar created her first work of art at five years old, a snowman drawn on blue construction paper. A group of artists invited her to try plein air painting and she fell in love. In her eyes, the time spent composing and recording in the open air is invaluable to breathe life into a painting. Catherine currently lives in California and loves tending her garden and being creative in the kitchen when she;s not painting. Fun fact: she occasionally writes stories for her granddaughter with accompanying ink drawings; she recently wrote a series called Baby Owl Learns to Fly.
