Meet Me At The Corner – Watercolor

Meet Me On The Corner watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (framed 16 x 20, available)

Had a great day of painting in the Hammonton Plein Air Competition. This quaint town has lots of interesting architectural buildings. I spent the day painting the Gazette building.

All of the paintings completed during the plein air competition will be on exhibition through Sunday at Kramer Hall Noyes Gallery, which is the newest addition to the Arts District in Downtown Hammonton, New Jersey. Thank you to Mike Cagno, Executive Director, Noyes Museum of Art, who made this event a fantastic experience.

Marble Hill On The Delaware – Watercolor

Marble Hill On The Delaware watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 22 x 18, Available)

Heading north on Route 611, the road curves along the Delaware River. From the river banks, you can see Marble Hill. Such a beautiful spot. Hurry up spring, so I can get back to touring for great subjects!

Marble Hill On The Delaware was painted in studio on 140# Arches watercolor paper.

After The Storm Watercolor

After The Storm watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 24 x 18, Sold)

I came across this old barn in the town of Mullica Hill. These treasures are slowly disappearing, whether it is from harsh weather or community growth. I can’t resist painting these structures, especially when they are lit up by the sun.

After The Storm is painted on 140# Arches cold press watercolor paper. It was painted as a demo for the Salem County Art League.

Mood’s Farm Market – Watercolor

Mood’s Farm Market watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 24, Available)

Mood’s Farm Market is a local landmark in Southern NJ. The rusty orange windmill against a sweeping blue sky was striking in contrast. I purposely pushed the color saturation to hopefully portray what it felt like to be at the market. This watercolor painting will remind me of the beautiful day I experienced picking apples while walking through the orchard. I’ll be back there come spring!

No Trespassing – Watercolor

No Trespassing watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 24 x 18, Available)

The sign reads, No Trespassing!
This old barn was drenched in sunlight, so I had to paint this scene.
“No Trespassing” watercolor depicts one of the many vanishing landscapes being replaced by a growing community. I love seeing active farms while driving in southern New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland and hope they don’t fall by the wayside. There is nothing better than fresh produce from the farm! Buy local!

This painting was a progressive demo for my watercolor workshop. It is painted on 140# Arches cold press watercolor paper.

Our Spot – Watercolor

Our Spot watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 20 x 16, Sold)

“Our Spot” watercolor was my final painting for the Plein Air Brandywine Valley competition. I had visited Winterthur two years ago in the spring and loved this particular tree that was stretching out over a bench. Thought it was in the azalea garden and it took me quite awhile to find it in the peony garden. The spot was even more beautiful with the fall color bursting around the garden bench. While painting, I wondered how many had rested or had a conversation in that exact spot.

This competition ended with a gala held at Winterthur Museum & Gardens in the visitor center. There had to be over 400 paintings from 75 artists. Every sale benefits The Children’s Beach House, a nonprofit which helps special needs children. www.cbhinc.org

Thank you to everyone that lent a hand to this competition. Can’t wait to participate again next fall!

Where The Sycamore Grows – Watercolor

Where The Sycamore Grows watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 16 x 20, Sold)

It poured rain non-stop on the 3rd day of the Plein Air Brandywine Valley competition! I chose to paint at Haskells (Hill Girt Farm, a local landmark) located in Chadds Ford. Such a picturesque location!

This sycamore tree caught my attention with its bare white limbs reaching up to the sky. It was next to one of the smaller stone buildings on the property. The rain made the wet bark look like all the color was running down the trunk into the ground. I thought it would be an impossible painting day! With shelter from a pop-up tent and beach umbrella I gave it a go and it turned out to be an exhausting, but successful day.

75 artists come together through Plein Air Brandywine Valley to support the Children’s Beach House. This is a nonprofit organization that helps special-needs children reach their highest potential as functioning members of their families and the community. Every sale from this competition benefits the Children’s Beach House. http://www.cbhinc.org

Thank you to the Haskell family who opened their farm for a second day to those artists that were rained out!

White Barn – Watercolor

The White Barn watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 20 x 16, Sold)

White Barn watercolor was painted on the second day of the Plein Air Brandywine Valley competition. This was the only sunny warm day to be found those four days in October! It was the kind of day that most people envision when you tell them all painting is completed from start to finish outdoors. A perfect day!

The 75 artists competing sell their paintings which benefits the Children’s Beach House, a nonprofit that focuses on special-needs children. www.cbhinc.org

Thank you to the Gahagan family who graciously allowed access to their beautiful estate … and Janssen’s Market who supplied us with delicious lunches throughout the week!

A Grand Era – Watercolor

A Grand Era watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 16 x 20, Available)

I was thrilled to be juried into the Plein Air Brandywine Valley competition. For one week, myself and 75 artists were given access to some of the most scenic properties of the Brandywine Valley, including private estates, land preserves, and renowned DuPont properties. The week closed with an exhibit and sale of all artwork at Winterthur Museum. Every sale benefits Children’s Beach House, a nonprofit that focuses on special-needs children. www.cbhinc.org

The beauty of these locations was overwhelming. For the first day of painting I chose Auburn Heights Preserve and Marshall Steam Museum located in Yorklyn, Delaware. This 1897 Auburn Heights mansion was built overlooking the Marshall Brothers Paper Mill in Yorklyn, Delaware by Israel and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Marshall.

The stone turrets were especially interesting. The sun was very fleeting and in spite of the cold and gray day, I really enjoyed painting this former home. I can only imagine the opulent lifestyle this Victorian family lived. Thus, the painting name “A Grand Era”.

A lot of hard work goes into coordinating these plein air events. Thank you to everyone for all of your hard work in bringing plein air artists together to support the Children’s Beach House.

What’s In The Barn – Watercolor

What’s In The Barn Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 17 x 20, Sold)

The collecting and restoring of antique autos is a lifelong passion equal to that of an artist. The idea of this watercolor painting came from the owner of this beautiful 1948 Willys Overland Jeepster. His dairy barn was the perfect setting. The chickens were a little whimsy thrown in! I thought showing the sliding barn doors added more interest. My brother and sister-inlaw helped slide those barn doors around while I took lots of reference photos. Fun painting from concept to finish! Thank you to John and Cecily.

Ebb and Flow – Watercolor

Ebb and Flow Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 24, Sold)

A very gray, hazy day resulted in this watercolor painting of the jetty down the shore. When the tide is at the halfway point, fishing abounds!

This watercolor is part of the “Nature & The Landscape, An Environmental Perspective” exhibition at Gallery 50 in Bridgeton, NJ. This regional wetlands competition resulted in a lot of gorgeous paintings from artists living in southern New Jersey.

Leaving Mary Elmer – Plein Air Watercolor

Leaving Mary Elmer watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14)

I participated in the Cohansey Riverfest Plein Air Competition in Bridgeton, NJ a few weeks ago. The criterion was to portray the Cohansey River Watershed. I was really torn choosing which view would make for a better painting, Mary Elmer Lake or the outflow from the dam. Rain was threatening and the sun was hard to find, so the outflow view was the best choice. It all worked out to a great day of painting outdoors and a 1st place award.

This plein air competiton was sponsored by the Cumberland County Cultural & Heritage Commission and Gallery 50 in Bridgeton, NJ. Thank you to Matt and Gallery 50!

This painting is part of the Nature & The Landscape, An Environmental Perspective exhibit which runs through September 27th at Gallery 50. There are 90 beautiful paintings on display.

Saturday Shopping Watercolor

Saturday Shopping Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (11 x 14 Framed)

Geraniums By The Dairy Barn – Watercolor

Geraniums By The Dairy Barn watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 16 x 20, Available)

This is the 3rd watercolor painting completed for the Cedarburg Plein Air competition. It is of geraniums at the original Dietrich fieldstone dairy barn from the turn of the century. I can’t resist those stone barns, and the red geraniums were a plus. Thanks to John and Cecily who were so gracious to let me paint on their property.

It is great fun to compete in plein air. Really pushes you to become a better artist, and you get to meet lots of other artists.

Cheers To You! Watercolor

Cheers To You! watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 16 x 20, Sold)

“Cheers To You!” is the second watercolor painted for the Cedarburg Plein Air competition. Such a fun event! Lots of mist while painting. I was so happy to see the sun so I could drop in the shadows.

I chose this subject because of the lovely blue doors and brilliant green ivy on this historic building which currently houses The Cedar Creek Winery. I also love the coined corners that can be found throughout the town of Cedarburg, WI. Originally the Cedar Creek Settlement (circa 1864), it was a working woolen mill until 1969 when it went out of business due to the introduction of synthetic fabrics.

The winery is not only beautiful, but produces some mighty tasty wine!

The Harness Maker’s House Watercolor

The Harness Maker’s House watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 20 x 16, Sold)

Last week I was one of 160 artists participating in a plein air competition. The weather was a mixed bag, fog, mist, rain and sun which made watercolor painting a real challenge. Still, it was a fabulous week of painting throughout the town of Cedarburg, WI. There were so many interesting subjects to explore in a week!

“The Harness Maker’s House” watercolor is of the Charles Hinze House, a harness maker (circa 1860s). The view looks west past the original well pump to the rare story and a half fieldstone barn. This glimpse of a bygone era can still be enjoyed while driving down the original Green Bay Road in Historic Cedarburg.

Thank you to Ray, Sarah and Noah for being the very best hosts! I could not have had a successful week without you guys.

Fenwick Creek Watercolor

Fenwick Creek Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 24)

Fenwick Creek in Salem County New Jersey flows past the original 1918 South Jersey Farmers Exchange building. The Farmers Exchange is now home to Royal Port Antiques. During the Salem County Arts In Bloom tour I painted this view from the side porch. Hard to believe this calm scene was once a busy port.

Thank you to owners Suzanne and Michael who hosted the Salem County Art League. Their shop is full of wonderful antiques that will inspire many paintings! It all added up to a great painting weekend.

The Green Barn Watercolor

The Green Barn watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 21)

The weather is warm and the sky is blue which equals a perfect day to paint en plein air. This barn is located in Mullica Hill, NJ and currently houses a shop called The French Nest (home decor) and Canteen (a unique eatery). One Saturday, a friend and I set up our easels and tried to capture this green barn in watercolor. The challenge was a study of greens and how to differentiate the scene when everything has the same local color.

The images below show the initial drawing and color block-in.

The following Saturday, this painting continued as part of a watercolor demonstration during the Arts Festival in town. Thunder storms rolled in, so it had to be finished in-studio.

The Shore – Watercolor

The Shore by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 27 x 20, Sold)

I am thrilled this painting will be part of the township’s permanent collection!

This is a view seen up and down the eastern seaboard. It is of dune grasses waving in the breeze along the shore on a beautiful summer day. I love the dynamic clouds that form over the ocean along with that panoramic view giving one the feeling of wide open space. “The Shore” watercolor is painted on 140# Arches cold press. This watercolor is one of 17 paintings that I will be exhibiting at the Galleria Deptford. The artist reception is Sunday, April 13 from 2 until 4pm. Galleria Deptford is located in the Deptford Municipal Building, 1st and 2nd floors. For more information on this venue, visit www.thelivingartsclub.org Click on the above painting to view details.

Cedarburg Barn Watercolor

Cedarburg Barn Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 14)

This Red Barn was found while traveling near one of my favorite midwest towns, Cedarburg, Wisconsin. You could get lost in the wide open space. There are many barns in this area of the country. Such a beautiful place. This watercolor started as a small study for a larger painting and I found myself not stopping till it was a finished piece.

Ann Whitall House – Plein Air

Ann Whitall House Watercolor (Framed 18 x 24)

The Ann Whitall house is an 18th century historic house at Red Bank Battlefield Park, located on the Delaware River. The pine tree and back of the house were sketched on one of the first nice days in early spring. In spite of the wet spring and summer season I participated in a one-day plein air competition here and chose to paint the river view of the house. I brought my extra-large beach umbrella thinking it would shade me from too much sun. The umbrella saved me and my painting from the two unexpected torrential rain showers. You just have to laugh and go with it, because it was still a great day to be outside painting.

Thanks to the Gloucester County Cultural and Heritage Commission, they really did a nice job with this event.

Surf Fishing Down The Shore – Watercolor

Surf Fishing Down The Shore (Framed 24 x 20) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Entertainment by the ocean’s edge is never ending down the shore. It was late afternoon on a cloudless day and I wanted to capture the contrast of the white surf against the dark blue water in this watercolor. The surf fisher was lit up by the sun casting long shadows on the sand which set up a familiar scene that I had to paint. It is painted on 140lb D’Arches watercolor paper.

You can click on the image to see a more detailed view of the painting.

This painting will be part of the Gloucester County College exhibition starting May 4th through the first week in June. Artist reception is May 4th at 12pm till 2pm.

Spring Crocus Watercolor

Spring Crocus (Framed 20 x 16) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

I took a walk on a sunny day with my camera earlier this month and saw a wide variety of crocus flowers throughout the neighborhood. In this watercolor painting I wanted a very muted background to emphasize the change from winter to spring. It is painted on Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper.

This painting is part of an exhibition showing from May 4th through the first week in June at the Gloucester County College.

Happy Wrens Watercolor

Happy Wrens Watercolor By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

This wren birdhouse has hung in our backyard for years. My father-in-law made this and my daughter painted it when she was very young. The wren’s sing to each other all day.

This is a small study (6 x 8) which I did to figure out color and composition for a larger version. I had the pleasure of painting with a friend and she suggested trying her favorite watercolor paper – 140lb Cold Press, Fabriano Artistico. I love the way this paper took on a lot of water letting the pigments be manipulated for a longer period of time. Lifting color was quick and easy. Now I am looking forward to working on the larger painting.
