"The Govenors Fall Garden" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"The Governors Fall Garden" 4"x6" Watercolor on 300lb paper

I couldn't resist painting this scene. The birch tree which had an unusual color, with its' bark shedding and the rich color of the berries and leaves. It was a cold day with not much sunshine but the colors in the garden were very warm!

Winter's Warriors by Amy Lindenberger

I feel a little "out of the loop", today, since with out-of-town guests over the holidays this is the first chance I've had to post anything in a few weeks. (I have at least had a little time to look at what my fellow PA artist have been posting and have really enjoyed the posts!) This is the first of several pieces I've done depicting portions of some of the monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield in winter. The tones in the granite statue reminded me a great deal of the tones in the surrounding winter landscape: various values of greys and brown. Working on these pieces gave me a new appreciation of the statues -- many are really unbelievably intricate in their detail.

This colored pencil drawing on Canson Mi-Teintes paper is available for purchase, and is also featured on one of my "Scenes of Gettysburg" notecards. You can view all of my Civil War-themed work online at my primary website, www.CivilWarFineArt.com, and information about the other types of artwork I pursue, workshops I teach, etc. at www.AmyLindenberger.com.
