Micron Pen on Bristol – 12×9 inThere’s so may forms of ink painting and drawing. I think drawing is more tedious than painting and that painting is more fluid (literally) than drawing. Micron pens are good for building layers and tones. Unlike brushes, the points wear and the ink supply runs out…I have a couple sets of Micron pens in the mail. I’ll be trying to complete the iNKTOBER project. #inktober2020

Shell Station, Westcliffe, CO
Shell Station, Westcliffe, CO, watercolor, 12×9″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger Painted en plein aire with the doors open to the cold wet night, this was entered in the Sangres Art Guild Alla Prima Westcliffe competition in September 2019. It was painted as I was hunkered down in my car with the door open. Plein aire is not my favorite way to paint a nocturne. It can be a real challenge, not that I’m not up for challenges. It’s a skill to be acquired through practice, lots of practice

Sangres de Cristo Monsooon
Sangrrs de Cristo Monsoon, Watercolor, 12×9″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger There’s been a lot of rain this summer, the farmers have mowed a couple times already. Late in the afternoon, sometimes towards evening, the clouds gather along the mountain ridge. When they hit the tops of the mountains they just dump all the moisture they hold. The sun shines through the veil of water and is quite lovely.

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, 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, 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.

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.
