Pink petals stand out amidst a bed of lush green leaves. Artist Catherine McCargar, an avid gardener and dedicated watercolorist, painted these coneflowers growing near her patio, alongside a variety of other summer blooms.
About the Artist
Impressionist Catherine McCargar expresses her deep admiration of nature through landscape paintings of Northern California. While she is well-versed in a range of media, her preferred medium for painting is watercolor. The fluidity of the paint allows her to capture the muted undertones and the fleeting light found in the natural world. While the backgrounds of her paintings are impressionistic, the foregrounds of her paintings are often highly detailed, showcasing her technical mastery over her medium.
