Ponderosa Pine Cone
ponderosa Cone, watercolor, 9×12″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jena Krueger This cone is a lot larger and harder that most of the ponderosa cones I’ve painted. We found it in Southern California. I wonder if I identified it correctly although in searching for visual info on it, it most likely resembles the ponderosas. I may have to re-title it someday if I find it’s a different species.

Chicago
Chicago, watercolor, 6×8″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger We were in Chicago the weekend after Thanksgiving, stayed a couple nights on Michigan Ave. Perfect fall/winter weather, wet and cool but not windy. Spent the day at the Art Institute, dinner at Berghoff’s. And walking, lovely lights and reflections. I love Chicago, wish I had a good reason to live there.

Eastern White Pine Cone – Pinus strobus
Eastern White Pine Cone, watercolor, 12×9″, 2019 , copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger I really like pine cones, there’s such variety across the various species. I like these for the shape of their seed scales, a wonderful drop-like curve.

I-87 North and I-87 South
I-87 North, gouache, 9×12″, 2019 copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Kruger 
I-87 South, gouache, 9×12″, 2019 copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Kruger I-87 North is the road to Canada. I-87 South is the road to New York City. It’s mid-autumn in Upstate New York and mornings are frosty clean crisp. The daylight filters through the deciduous evergreen mix of forest, atmosphere thickening as the layer of mountains recedes.

Pinus arizonica, gouache on paperboard, 6×8″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger I just got this new set of gouche tubes, such a difference from watercolor, different application techniques different look, real exciting to use. Using real not gouache, not the acrylic/gouache (I don’t like these-can’t re-work).

Caesalpinia pulcherrima – Mexican Bird of Paradise
Caesalpinia pulcherrima – Mexican Bird of Paradise, watercolor and gouache, 11×15″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger It’s October in Arizona and the Mexican Bird of Paradise is in one of its full blooms. The shrub flowers several time during a single year and is always showy and dramatic with its red/orange blossoms and its complimentary blue/turquoise foliage. The frilly detail of this plant is captivating to the eye. it’s always visually in motion, compositionally dynamic… just another reason to love the American southwest.

Echinopsis chiloensis – Hedgehog Cactus
Echinopsis chiloensis – Hedgehog Cactus, casein, 9×12″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger The cactus grows not far from the house in Arizona. The media, casein is new to me. Totally opaque, it’s quite different from the watercolor with which I’m familiar. It’s like gouache. a lot easier than watercolor, it has a very different look and feel, very graphic an illustrative, less touchy feely.

Brush Creek Fence
Brush Creek Fence, watercolor, 8×6″, 2019 copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger Looking north in the late afternoon sun the fence posts march into the autumn pasture bleached by summer sun now departed. This is painted using three colors, alizarin crimson , yellow ochre and ultramarine. These pigments are then mixed to create the other colors of the painting. John Singer Sargent, American painter, used this color pallet to great effect.
