"The Tree" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"The Tree" 10"x8", 140lb paper stretched on stretcher strips ans sprayed.

This painting was painted plein air at Fuller Lake when we had the Susquehanna Valley plein air painters picnic. This was a new way to paint using the watercolor paper stretched on the stretcher strips. I sealed it and it will pop into a nice frame without any glass or mat.
 The tree was what caught my eye. Sort of like painting wrinkles on an old person, this tree had a lot of personality and character as it sits looking over the lake.

"Morning Sunshine" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Morning Sunshine" 8"x10" Acrylic on canvas board

"Sun Struck" By Debra Tritt Kreiger


"Sun Struck" 8x10 Acrylic on a canvas panel

I was happy to be able to paint with my friends from the SVPAP the last two Mondays. Thanks to Petra who was kind enough to share her wonderful property with us. I wanted to capture the wonderful sun light that was highlighting the bright red bee balm that was in full bloom. As the sun kisses little areas of the grasses, tree leaves and shows us the stumps and rock hiding in the shadows. The curve of the tree just framed everything perfectly. There is a stream flowing behind the flowers. Very peaceful!

This is a larger scale painting I developed from my reference pictures of many trips to the Atlantic Coast.

I finally finished this painting of a farm turkey who lives at the Blue Hound Farm in Lewisberry. While a few fellow painters and myself were painting at the farm he fluffed himself out and just walked around trying to get everyone's attention.
