We were somewhere in North Carolina, on top of the Ridge, waves of mountains vanishing in the far away mist.

Blue Ridge Parkway, NC, watercolor, 6×8″, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1449566We spent the Thanksgiving break driving from New York to Florida, sightseeing, taking the long route. The Blue Ridge Mountains are unlike any that I’ve seen in the US, running north to south with parallel smaller hills flanking the east and west sides of the central Blue Ridge. The Parkway is a narrow and quaint two lane WPA project. Lots of folks drive it because of its spectacular beauty and its status as a National Parkway. You can see for miles along the road that follows the crest tof the Ridge.#jeankruegerfineart #troynyartist #blueridgeparkway

The Pollarder
The Pollarder, watercolor, 8×6″, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger. This painting shows landscape design in the city, the pollarding of a formal grove of trees. Pollarding involves the removal of tree branches to improve the fullness and shape of new growth that will follow. It’s a labor-intensive, tedious practice centuries old.

Valhallavagen, Stockholm
Valhallawagen, SE, watercolor and graphite, 9×12″, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger This is a long view of a Stockholm Avenue, bordered by buildings built in the mid to late 19th c. The city is planned to have wide transit corridors that direct train, car, bike, scooter and pedestrian traffic all along the same path, accommodating each mode safely in parallel. The result is lots of wide urban space without buildings encroaching on it and a sense of openness in what is, in fact, an overall densly built environment. There’s an abundance of trees and flowers in these spaces. Lovely.

Little Pine Cones
Little Pine Cones, watercolor and graphite, 6×4″, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger. We walk a lot while we’re in Sweden, usually 5 to 7 miles daily. I’m always looking on the ground for interesting stuff and picked up this pair of little cones. I spent awhile Googling to identify their species, but not much luck, maybe some sort of Piñon. If anyone has an idea, let me know. Thanks.

Stockholm Pavement and Shadow
Stockholm Pavement and Shadow, watercolor, 8×6, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger. Stockholm has beautiful street paving. Much of it is granite, a hard material that resists the freezing and thawing that destroys softer pavements. On hills, and there’s many of those, the arced and diagonal patterns prevent slips and sliding. Each stone is four to five inches, a tedious fan shaped mosaic. My shadow breaks the monotony.

Swedish Mallards
Swedish Mallards, waterccolor, 12×9″, 2023. Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger. This pair of birds float around the waters that surround Stockholm’s islands. Although they’re Mallards, they look different than the North American birds I’m familiar with. They are longer and sleeker and not as iridescent and squat as American mallards. Their bills seem longer, as well. But they behave the same, swimming in a line with the male in front, dabbling with curly tail feathers to the sky.

Glory of the Spring
Glory of the Spring, watercolor, 12×9″, 2023. copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger. We walk by this Church with some frequency. It’s named Adolf Fredriks kyrkogard, it’s a cruciform shape, that is, cross-shaped. I really can’t guess its age, maybe 150 years or much older. Anyway, it has a graveyard on one side and the ground is covered with drifts of early spring flowers. they’re call ‘Glory of the Snow’ here, Chionoxdoxa botanically.

Fieldfair
Fieldfare, watercolor, 8.25×5.75, 2023, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger This bird, the fieldfare (Turdis pilarus), is a new one to me. We saw it in a Stockholm park. A member of the thrush family and lives in northern Europe according to Wikipedia. It’s about the size of a robin and looks similar plump shape with the same cocky attitude.

Pollards in Stockholm

I like it here, clean, civil and non-confrontational. We catch weekly pipe organ concerts, walk a lot, the foods quite flavorful and chocolate’s cheap. It’s seems to be a very cool society. But the climate’s cold…much too cold for me, it’s mid-April and still wearing 4 layers, hat, scarf and gloves.

Clums Corners in Winter
Clums Corners in Winter, Watercolor, x4″, 2022.
Copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jena Krueger
https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1287300Our storage unit is located in Clums Corners, a small farm community outside Troy, NY. Our unit has a sweeping view to the east. Late in the afternoon when the sun is flat, the colors of the sky and land saturate and you can see all the way to Massachusetts. The land is still undeveloped by tract housing and commercial pad sites, still used for farming as it has been for centuries. The place is haunted by early American history, an unsung national treasure.

San Pedro Cactus 2
San Pedro Cactus 2, watercolor, 9×12″, 2022,
copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1279686The San Pedro Cactus is a gorgeous plant. They grow tall and wide and have straight regular columns or can be quite gnarly and contorted, depending on the growing environment and genetic mutations. The one I’ve painted is of the gnarly type. It grows at altitudes of 2-3,000 ft and is a known hallucinogen. What’s not to love.
