This will be a long entry – if you are just wanting a quick look, you might want to return later for a more thorough reading! Colors is the studio and gallery of Three Rivers artist Wendy McKellar. It is at 41763 Sierra Drive, just upstream from the place that sells Shell gas. In addition […]
Sundries
Not “sundried” but “sundries” – it is a word that means “various items not important enough to be mentioned individually”. Sometimes the sun is so good coming through the windows of the workshop that I can prop small paintings on the door for photography purposes. Kind of handy to not mess with the tripod! This […]
Sequoia Paintings
Because my website is still non-functional and there are folks who might want to see which paintings are available, this posting will consist entirely of paintings of The Big Trees, Sequoia Gigantea, Redwoods. Just the facts: A few little tidbits about all the names: “The Big Trees” was how we referred to them when I […]
The Elephant
Those of you who have shared your eddress with me received an email with the subject line reading “Have you seen the elephant?” If you live in Three Rivers, you know of him. If not, here are a few paintings in which he is sort of visible on the side of Alta Peak in snow. […]

First Day at School
Not really. It sort of feels like it, but instead it is my first day working at Main Gallery. I don’t even know if it is called “Main Gallery” or “The Main Gallery”. There is no phone to answer, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. I’ve worked in more retail positions than I can […]
A little further
Today I added a bit more to this painting: Can you see any difference?? (last shown on October 29)
Style
Been thinking about this subject lately. A month or so ago, I showed a few of my paintings to a gallery owner. For the first time in my painting career, I was told that my paintings don’t have enough detail, that they look as if done plein air. That is French lingo for on site, […]
A look at the process of painting
First, the shapes get blocked in, scribbled, just a first coat of the thin color. Next, another of paint gets added to the background with more attention paid to the correct colors and textures. This only has the far hills covered – my attention span seems a bit limited here! Now I am seriously out […]
