Victor Mines
Victor Mines, watercolor, 14×11′, 2019, copywrited with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger Victor, Colorado, is the site of many mines, operational and abandoned. For those mines which no longer operate, the architecture that supported them still towers throughout the town’s landscape, a built presence that defines what Victor is, a place locked the memory of a different era and lifestyle It’s eerie, sort of magnificent and very interesting.

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.

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.
