"Colt McCoy"

Belgian Warmblood Portrait

By Theresa Paden

8" X 10" Charcoal on Canson paper

Sold

This adorable little guy is Colt McCoy. 

He belongs to my friend, and next door neighbor, Tally. 

Colt was born on May10, 2010 to Irish Linen, 

a premium Belgian Warmblood mare.

At the 2010 annual inspection, the Keuring, he was 

rated number two in the United States, 

missing the number one spot by only one point! 

He's much larger now and I love to see this gorgeous
horse running around in his pasture!

Along the Creek by Julie Trail

Ruth and I nearly froze this morning when we met in Amador City to paint. The sun finally rose high enough to thaw us out and give us a beautiful array of fading fall colors. I love the contrast between lights and darks as we approach the Winter Solstice!

The change of season in Northern California Foothills is a painter's dream! This stand of brush in the Shenandoah Valley drew me in. The colors are vivid. The sun's rays are low and intense! Migrating birds fill the woods. Life is good!

Path to the Barn

Ruth Andre and I met up this morning just as the sun was peeking through the fog. We saw this scene from the parking lot of the Amador County Transportation Hub on Valley View Drive. The cows all had bells and rang a country tune for us as we painted. Here's my effort.

I really think the painting needs the cows. What do you think? Will blobs of reddish brown, to approximate cows ruin the expanse of multihued grass on this lovely hillside?

"Bridalveil" is a small painting of the beautiful falls in Yosemite.  They leave me speechless every time I see the falls from the meadow area.  In my painting there seems to be clouds dancing on the rim of view; winds were catching the water and creating veils of vapor before falling over the edge.  

On view next week (Tuesday) after Thanksgiving at Seasons Restaurant  in Davis.  If you'd like to see the beautiful framing for these, see this post  .  If you'd like to read more about the artist, see website

Inspired by Joseph Raffael by Nancy Goldman

Watercolor

I was inspired to paint this watercolor after visiting a Joseph Raffael exhibit.  His work is so beautiful and I have always loved borders on paintings.  I meant to paint the flowers in a looser, more impressionistic way but they didn't turn out that way.  J. Raffael uses lots of confetti types of color in his borders so I wanted to try that for this painting.

Pure abstract.  These are fun to paint and I hope fun to view . . .I didn't play Santana music ("Oye Como Va") while painting this, I played Celia Cruz.  Both are often-played music in my studio.

How's it going for you? 

Cottonwoods by Julie Trail

These old cottonwood trees growing along Sutter Creek always delight me with their tangled branches and wonderful colors, especially at this time of year! Ruth Andre and I painted this morning under mixed fog and sunshine in our ever challenging efforts to capture the lights and colors of the beautiful California foothills. What a delightful way to spend a few hours!

A" Splash of Sunshine" on these wild shrubs made the cold November morning feel warmer! Nothing is more satisfying than painting out in the fresh air with my plein air friend, Ruth Andre, as we work to capture the beauty of the California Foothills with oils!

Cascading Oaks by Ruth Andre

While out painting with Julie Trail on Monday we headed down Stringbean Alley just outside of Amador City, California.  We decided to paint by the entrance to the Sutter Creek Gold Mine.  It was a cold morning with a heavy frost on the ground and 25-degrees.  Luckily the sun warmed the ground but since I was standing in a shady spot my toes and hands were cold.  I am wearing my Muck boots on the next outing.  The view was beautiful in every direction.  This little painting, "Cascading Oaks" was painted near the end of the session with me standing on one foot and then the other, trying my best to stay warm.  Seeing the muted colors of fall made for, "A Painting Day".

Harbor View by Ruth Andre

The painting above was the last one painted while in Fort Bragg.  I stood in the shelter of the bridge pilings and shifted my focus to this cluster of trees leaning into the harbor.  The sun was moving in on one side and the the fog and the wind on the other side.  It was getting cold as I packed my gear to head back to Sutter Creek.  The group of painters all said good-bye and off we went.  The time together went by quickly and we all shared some a good times together.  I look forward to meeting up again for another paint out in the future.  Loved being on the California coast that made for, "A Painting Day".
