"Beach Day" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

2012-02-24T09:27:00.004-08:00

"Beach Day" 18"x28" on 300lb Arches Paper

This is a larger scale painting I developed from my reference pictures of many trips to the Atlantic Coast. I love this one chair just peacefully basking in the sunlight and the wonderful shadow it cast. I incorporated different colors reflecting off the sand and the wonderful beached seashells. The footprints lead you out onto the sun drenched horizon where seagulls are playing.

Broken#3, 9.5"x6.25" watercolor on 140lb paper

Sometimes I'm not happy with a painting so I let it sit for awhile. Then I proceed to work on areas I wasn't happy with. This is a painting I have adjusted a few times. I think this is it. I'm happy with the feel of things now and I can move on! I'm dreaming of a soft warm beach!

This is a work in progress sneak peek..This is part of a large watercolor painting 18"x28". I'm working on this painting for a juried show. I didn't want to show the whole painting until it is complete and photographed properly.

"Farm Show" 10"x14" Watercolor
on Arches 140lb paper

It's that time of year! I thought it would be a good choice to post this painting since the Pennsylvania State Farm Show in Harrisburg is in gear. I just love to walk the show and get a real close up and personal view of all the farm animals, people and food. It was lunch time and these fellows were very hungry!

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. He definitely deserved to have a painting done of himself!

"Dickinson College in Autumn" 10"x8" Acrylic on canvas

Just finished this painting. I'm glad I chose this scene to paint because it looks like we will be moving right along into winter! I was really taken by the beautiful surroundings of the Dickinson campus. The iron work on this gate is wonderful and I wanted to show case it.

"The Blue Hound Barn" Acrylic on 10"x8" canvas

This is my second painting while plein air painting at the Blue Hound Farm in Lewisberry.
So many places to paint! I could hardly pick a spot! I felt this magnificent barn needed to be painted. It was bathed in the afternoon sun, which warmed me up a bit since it was a bit windy and cool.

"An Opened Gate" 10"x8" Acrylic painting on canvas.

This past Saturday I spent a sunny windy day on the Blue Hound Farm in Lewisberry with fellow artist plein air painting. I decided to take my acrylics along since it was so windy. This is a view from the lawn looking towards the entrance. The colors in the trees were perfect and the sun was nice and bright. Had a great time and am looking forward to the next time!

"Winter Sunshine" 5"x7" watercolor on 140lb paper

I just couldn't help myself. Not that I'm pushing winter, but I just loved the way the sun dances across the snow. I really like looking into the sun. Sometimes you get amazing results! The silhouettes of the trees bathing in the warm sunlight gives real texture and interest to this painting.

"American Goldfinch" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

2011-09-30T08:14:00.000-07:00

"American Goldfinch" 7.5"x10" watercolor on Arches 140lb paper

I've been working on this painting for a little while. The challenge I had was placing this beautiful goldfinch in a pleasing and exciting background. I take my own photo reference pictures so I'm learning to look for interesting places to incorporate the wonderful creatures I encounter. I worked on giving the background some nice texture and color to provide harmony and interest to the painting. The sunflowers are great since I wanted to show him with a seed! Turned out to be a bright and cheery painting! Hope you like it!

I had a wonderful private oil painting lesson with Claire Carnell this week. I haven't painted in oils in years and I just wanted to give it a go. I really enjoyed painting this apple.

"No Tag" watercolor painting from the "Art on the Farm" event held by CALC and PASA Saturday June 11th, 2011.

What a nice event! What better way to support local whole foods and local artist! These are two of my passions! These sheep were a joy to watch and paint. This fellow I was told was named" No Tag". A young gentleman who takes care of the sheep was the highest bidder for this painting. He wanted it to remember his two years working on the Dickinson College Farm. I was very honored. What a wonderful group of students and staff and a great project to support! Can't wait till next year!

"Violets" 13"x10 Watercolor on 140lb paper

I painted at the PA Garden Show of York with the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters. It was a wonderful and humbling experience. I painted a still life arrangement with yellow tulips and pearl marbles in a clear vase. I can't show it to you because I traded it with an aspiring young 9 year old artist named Kate. She watched me most of the day and went home to do her own painting! How great is that!
So I thought I'd post my favorite painting of the every so romantic violets.

"Letort Rushing" 5.5"x8.5" on 140lb paper
This was painted plein air looking down on the rushing water of the Letort waterfall as it prepares to meet the Conodoguinet Creek. What a beautiful November day we had. Every plein air painting is a challenge for me . I liked all the activity going on and the calm pool near the rocks. I think I captured the rush!

2010-10-11T11:10:00.000-07:00

"Pepper" Watercolor 5"x3.5" on 300lb Arches Paper

This is a mini. I love to do these little paintings in between the larger ones. Gives me a little practice in painting a little quicker. I also wanted to try the 300lb paper which I like very much. On the original the colors are a little deeper. I used the layers of lettuce to give a different texture into the mix and to incorporate the complimentary color scheme.

This is my current project. I am painting him with watercolors on 140lb Arches paper. He is a resident of the Kings Gap State Park pond. I just think he is gorgeous!

"Amity Hall Boat Launch" 9"x12" Watercolor on 140lb Arches Paper

This is another plein air painting painted from the boat launch off the Amity Hall exit. The morning was bright and beautiful but windy. The clouds moved in quickly and changed everything. I tried to capture the puffy clouds and the brisk wind and bright sunshine.
I thought it appropriate to paint the huge American flag whipping in the wind, but standing proud.
