Something New – Watercolor

Something New watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci
(Framed 16 x 20, Available) Inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com

Something New watercolor is a painting of some wonderful antiques to be found at Royal Port Antiques in Salem, NJ. Suzanne stages all of the antiques at Royal Port so that you can imagine them in your home. I found this still life on their front porch where I painted en plein air for the day as part of the Salem County Arts in Bloom tour. Half the fun was interacting with the community!

Thank you to Suzanne and Michael Cooke who hosted the Salem County Art League in their beautiful, huge antique store. If you’re in the area, it is well worth checking it out.

Salem NJ Pride – Watercolor

Salem Pride watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci
(Framed 16 x 20, Sold) Inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com

The weather was great for the Salem County Arts In Bloom tour! Once again, Royal Port Antiques hosted the Art League. Just south of Royal Port you can find many beautiful historical homes, which is where I painted en plein air. These doors and the flag drew me in. It was a lot of fun to talk with people taking the tour while painting.

Salem Pride watercolor depicts two homes on Market Street in Salem, NJ. To the left is the James Wood – 1760 colonial, on the right is the Samuel Clement – 1790s federal style brick.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Apple Blossoms Watercolor

Apple Blossoms Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 24 x 16)

Every year in late spring the apple trees in our backyard burst with flowers and color. This watercolor is something that I’ve wanted to paint for several years. What interested me were the shadows cast on the pale petals. It is painted on 140lb Arches coldpress watercolor paper.

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.

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.

Apples and Pears

Apples and Pears Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 17 x 25)

Apples and Pears Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

In this watercolor painting “Apples and Pears” I wanted to paint a simple subject and play up the sunlight and cast shadows. I haven’t painted fruit since my school days and was surprised at the difficulty. Liquid mask was used on the stems to allow me to paint through the background.

The second painting is a version of the same subject which was a demo for my watercolor workshop. The change in composition was a bit of an improvement.

Loves me, Loves me not – Watercolor

Loves me, Loves me not – Watercolor (Framed 15 x 18) By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Who hasn’t pulled off daisy petals asking that question at some time in their youth.

This daisy plant was photographed during a trip to Wisconsin. I liked the way the light caught the flowers against a dark background. Originally the background was of other plantings, but I thought the contrast of blue against the bright white and orange centers would make the painting a little more interesting. The background and leaves were painted very loosely to keep the focus on the daisy flowers.

This little wren house is a larger version of a previous watercolor. I used this as a demo for a watercolor workshop.

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.

Plein Air Season!

Hanging Basket Watercolor 14w x 18d

Painting en plein air is great. Gets you out of the studio and into the sunlight. It also forces you into painting more freely due to time constraints. I participated in the Arts In Bloom weekend by painting en plein air at a local greenhouse. Great day!

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.

Bridal Blossoms Watercolor

Bridal Blossoms Watercolor (Framed 18 x 21) by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (sold)

This watercolor was commissioned as a wedding gift. The bride will be carrying pink hydrangea for her wedding bouquet. I really liked the thoughtfulness of the gift and hope the bride and groom will also love it.

It was mid winter when this was painted, and I was happy to have fresh blossoms on my drawing table as reference. It was as close to plein air as I could get this winter!

I usually do a small study which is shown below before working on the final painting. Click on the image above or below to see a little more detail.

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.

Crandon Park Watercolor

Crandon Park Watercolor (Framed 16 x 20) By Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Key Biscayne’s Crandon Park is one of the best beaches near Miami. I love that it has huge palm trees on the beach. This watercolor was painted as a gift to someone who also loves this beach, maybe more than me. It is painted on 140 lb D’Arches watercolor paper. I masked out the trunks of the palms which let me paint the sky, water & beach with more flow, but in hindsight I would only have masked the lifeguard stand.
