Arizona Bird of Paradise – caesalpinia pulcherrima
Arizona Bird of Paradise – caesalpinia pulcherrima, 2018, Soft Pastel on Board, 10×8″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
The Arizona Bird of Paradise (caesalpinia pulcherrima) is a member of the Fabaceae (pea) family. Where we stay they are trimmed into medium height shrubs but they can grow to small tree proportions. They have every color from deep red to deep purple. Blossoms are in the red orange yellow range with leaves from green to deep violet. They are very delicate with a lacey fragility.
This is painted with a combination of soft pastel pencils and sticks. The surface is lightly fixed to discourage dusting.

Comanche Peak
Elevation 11,400 ft.,oil on canvas, 16×12″, 2018, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerIt’s late, late summer and I can still hike the eastern foothills of the Rockies. The weather has bee wonderful, warm and all clear cobalt skies. The grasses that thrive at timberline are yellow ochre and white, the evergreens remain their consistent mix of cadmium light, ultramarine with burnt umber. I’m amazed at the colors one can mix from 6 or 7 tubes.

Comanche Trail
Comanche Trail, pastel on board, 12×16″, 2018, copyrighted by Jean Krueger with all rights reserved
The late summer air in the alpine landscape is still warm, 60-65 degrees F, although the wind can gust and make it feel cooler. But when I hike I’m in a sleeveless shirt and with pantlegs rolled up, working up a head of steam. The sky is just as blue as the pastels show and the grasses are drying, dying to naples yellow and light buff. However, those evergreens will weather all seasons looking just like they do today.

Platte
Platte, watercolor, 9×12″, 2018, by Jean Krueger copyrighted with all rights reservedI was hiking and found a rock that impressed me . It looked like a landscape. I’ve started a series of landscape paintings based upon the colors, shapes and contours I see in the rock. I am doing this as an exercise to paint quickly without too much analysis, letting the paint flow and granulate in watery washes. I’m limiting my pallet to no more than 5 colors. I tilt and turn the painting to direct the water’s flow. I plan to create a least landscapes from the same rock.
This is a simple concept but an effective way for me explore the watercolor media. -
Nakota, An American Breed
Nakoata, An American Breed, 2018,Professional watercolors on 140# hot press paper, masked border, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
The Nakota mustang is a feral breed of horses, the decendants of those riden by Native Americans in the 19th century in the upper plains of the United States. Driven to extinction by the mid 20th century they have been captured and bred in recent years in order to perserve this American breed. Nakotas are stout and muscular, smart and quick. Seeing them, I can agree they are something special.
