https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1249639
This large mouth bass is painted at a scale of 1.5:1 which means the live one was bigger by half. They can grow really big and don’t like to be caught, putting up a strong fight. The husband caught him, I photoed him and he was released back into the Upstate New York Lake from which he came. Now he’s immortalized in this highly desirable painting.Watercolor, 16×12″, 2021, $265.https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1249639

Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera, Pastel on Paper, 14×11″, 2018, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerThis plant is found at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. I’ll add the the botanic information as soon as I can, probably after a trip to the Garden itself. I was attracted by the red-yellow blooms supported on purple stalks, cradled in a wreath of green-aqua-magenta-alizarin foliage. What’s not to love?

Pumpkinseed
Pumpkinseed, watercolor, 2018, 6×8″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerThese North American natives are commonly called Pumpkinseeds because of the black flap at the edge of their gills.Lepomis gibbosus is included in the common sunfish family (Centrarchidae). They can grow quite large for a smallish fish (i.e. over 9″) but most that I’ve seen are from 4-6″. They’re the most colorful fish that is found in a warm water lake or pond. Bass and crappie are some of their fishy relatives.

Prairie Cone Flower – Ratibida columnifera
https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/902191
Prairie Coneflower – Ratibida columnifera – by Jean Krueger, watercolor, copyrighted with all rights reserved, 2018 .
These prairie cone flowers are easing their way into autumn, missing a few of their 4-12 petals, a little bent at the stems with leaves starting to turn ruddy. The cones are typically longer than the petals. They like it dry and hot and they self-seed. The leaves and stems are said to be analgesic, good for head and bellyaches. Decoctions are used to treat poison ivy and rattlesnake bites. Handy, eh?
I found these growing in Westcliffe, CO.

Ponderosa Twig
Ponderosa Twig, watercolor, 6×4′, 2018, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerOne of my favorite topics, the intricate pine cone. It spirals from top to bottom in predictable 12 to 14 spirals, each leaf hiding a seed that will eventually blow away. I love them.

Wild Rose in Autumn
Wild Rose in Autumn, oil on board, 4×6″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerWild roses in the autumn move from the pink and green of spring and summer to the crimson an yellow leaves of fall. I painted this with leftover paint from a larger work in order not to waste the leftover pigments. The image of the leaves, stems and surrounding ground litter was made by removing paint tith a rubber sculpting tool.

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.

Douglas Fir Cone, watercolor, 6×4″ 2018, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerWhen walking in the woods around my mom’s house, I always pick stuff up, like grasses, rocks, tree twigs and pine cones. I added the one painted here to my growing collection of conifer cones. The geometry of these fruits amaze me with their spiral symmetry.

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. -
Oregon Grape

The phase I’ve painted is what we see in the mid to late summer months here in the Rockies where I’m now staying for awhile.
