Misty Morning on the Farm
About this artwork
Artist Catherine McCargar presents an old barn on top of a sloping road in rural California. As a plein air painter, she sometimes ventures out in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The day was cold and foggy, but this made for beautiful, nuanced colors and muted tones delightfully rendered in watercolor, shares Catherine. She draws inspiration from the Swedish painter Carl Larsson, whose cold-weather exterior paintings embody a similar soft ambiance.
