SEASONAL NOTES FALL 2025

I’m late putting this up, but have been busy “renovating” a few more paintings. I’ve also spent some time with my husband as he was hospitalized for a week last month and had lots of tests and appointments. He had an episode with bladder stones and kidney stones and will have surgery in a few weeks.

Illuminated is painted on Strathmore Plate illustration board,  This is a favorite local stream in Keene Valley, New York, near Lake Placid. There are numerous sections of water tumbling over boulders and rocks, but again, the light pattern was my real subject.  I chose a cool yellow to represent the light areas and oppose the cool water and rocks.. In both paintings colors were mingled on wet sections of paper and darks were added in the same manner after the first washes were dry

NEWS SPRING

I no longer teach workshops. There is still painting information under the workshops link in the header on my website. I do have 4 digital books, a hard cover book and 2 videos on this site for those who want to see information about how I paint, my materials and more. There is also painting information in the archived issues of the Seasonal Notes from other seasons and in several articles and interviews posted under the Articles heading in the top Bar of the Home page.

 

You can view a variety of my paintings on the gallery pages. Many of these are still available for sale. Contact me at ann@annpember.com if you are interested in information about a particular painting.
