"RED CANOES AND OTHER STORIES" by Alicia Tredway

This is my last post for the blog.  I consider it an honor to have collaborated with all the wonderful artists of Lost Coast Daily Painters past and present.  A special thanks also to all those who have collected my work. This piece will be in the landscape show at Morris Graves Museum May 3rd through June 24th chaired by Alan Sanborn.  "Red Canoes and Other Stories" is oil on mylar 15 x 19 in.

"DECEMBER DAY" by Alicia Tredway

I painted this a few days ago just before it started to rain on me.  The season has definitely changed to winter and the light as well.  I was not quite finished when it began to rain seriously and I had to move inside and rely on the photograph I took at the beginning.  Looking out the window was no help...the road was already 2 values darker and the whole scene was a different painting.  9 x 12 oil on canvas panel.  To learn more or to bid CLICK HERESOLD

"PAINTING UP HIGH" by Alicia Tredway

8 x 10 inches on canvas panel.  Love to include a figure in the landscape.

"SUNFLOWERS" by Alicia Tredway

This is a painting I did back in 2008 which I made a few changes on and I like it much better now.  I added my greenhouse, indicated some fencing and keyed the painting better. 12 x 9 inches oil on stretched linen. 

"101 PIERCY BRIDGE" by Alicia Tredway

A huge project to divert Hwy 101 around the Confusion Hill slide involved building two bridges and took nearly 5 years to complete.  This scene is within hiking  distance from my house and I'm sure glad the project is finished and I can come down here again.  Fellow artist and friend Jim McVicker did a stunning series of the first southernmost bridge as it was being constructed.  This is the second northernmost bridge viewed from below at the river.

"GARDEN SCENE" by Alicia Tredway

8 x 8 inches oil on linen panel.  I painted in the garden this week and it felt so fine.  I love the blue and red colors of kale and chard. This was painted plein air with minimal keying in the studio.  Two mother turkeys with their brood of babies came by... my day was complete!
