Faded Blues – Watercolor

“Faded Blues” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, available)

When it is full summer and you’re painting plein air, sometimes you want a subject without a lot of green. That’s one of the reasons I chose to paint “Faded Blues”. Loved the old wood and missing shutter on this building that was being restored. It used to be a general store on Still Pond Road.

Such a rainy week for the Chestertown RiverArts “Paint The Town” plein air competition, but it did not stop any of the artists from producing quality work. The misting actually helped me apply texture on the blue clapboard.

This painting is available and can be shipped. Inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com

Creekside – Watercolor

“Creekside” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, available)

“Creekside” watercolor was painted on a gorgeous day of plein air painting at the end of Rileys Mill Road in Chestertown, MD. Sunshine peaked in and out of the clouds all day at RiverArts 7th Annual “Paint The Town” plein air competition. I loved the duck blind sitting on the edge of the creek and the silver reflections of sky.

White Swan Tavern – Quick Paint

“White Swan Tavern” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, available)

“White Swan B&B” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, available)

So how does a watercolor artist paint in the rain? By bringing your big beach umbrella and crossing your fingers! My quick paint experiences are never great, full of stress, and limited to two hours including framing. But I do them to challenge myself. Pushing to make quick decisions on color and composition.

“White Swan Tavern” was painted for the RiverArts 7th Annual “Paint The Town” plein air competition in Chestertown, MD. The 18th century Bed and Breakfast is located near Washington College in the center of Chestertown historic district.

Betterton Days – Watercolor

“Betterton Days” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 20 x 16, sold)

Had a great time painting at the RiverArts 7th Annual “Paint The Town” in Chestertown, MD. We could paint anywhere in picturesque Kent County. Betterton Beach was beautiful in the pouring rain! I simplified the dock a bit to give the overall painting a peaceful feel.

Such a fun plein air competition, I’ll definitely be back next year to paint the town! Special thanks goes out to Cindy for her fabulous hospitality.

The Stuff of Legends – Watercolor

The Stuff of Legends watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 14, Sold)

This watercolor was a commission to be gifted for the recipient’s 40th birthday. Their party was a Great Gatsby theme and featured on “My Fab 40th” Bravo TV, hence the name of the painting, “The Stuff of Legends”. I thought it was a really unique keepsake, something they’ll be able to tell a few stories about years down the road. The amount of drawing before painting was pretty involved. Getting those angles right was crazy time consuming. I also masked the top of the structure so that I could do multiple layers in the sky area to achieve the intense blue color which made the home stand out. Below is a detail of the drawing and initial washes. Commission inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com ©Yvonne Pecor Mucci. All rights reserved.

Plein Air Brandywine Valley 2015, Juried Competition to benefit Children’s Beach House

Tomorrow, at sunrise, I’ll be setting up my easel in the beautiful Brandywine Valley to paint alongside some of the best plein air painters and photographers. 75 to be exact! During the next four days, we’ll capture a wide variety of scenic properties located in the Brandywine Valley. Last year the weather was a bit wet, but it did not hinder this fabulous event. Looks like sunshine will be in abundance, so I can’t wait to start painting!

Each artist submits at least four paintings which are judged and then displayed for viewing and purchase at an opening gala scheduled for Friday, October 23 from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. at The Visitor Center of Winterthur Museum and Garden located in Wilmington, DE. Gala tickets can be purchased online www.pleinairbrandywinevalley.org A portion of the proceeds from the art sales will benefit Children’s Beach House. A great organization doing a world of good! www.cbhinc.org

The works will remain on display for purchase and viewing throughout the remainder of the weekend and are free to the public. (Saturday, October 24, 2015 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Sunday, October 25, 2015 from noon – 3 p.m.) I’ll be at Winterthur Saturday and Sunday afternoon if anyone wants to stop by and check out all the artwork. It really is a beautiful exhibit!

Heading Out – Cedarburg Plein Air

Heading Out watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci

Heading Out watercolor by Yvonne Decor Mucci (Available)

The annual Cedarburg Plein Air competition has quickly become one of my favorite events. Port Washington, WI was the first of 8 days of painting en plein air. My nephew and I scouted this beautiful town and we both agreed that the subject matter had to include water and at least one of their two lighthouses.

I started painting in the early morning as the last bits of orange and yellow left the sky. I was lucky to catch the fishing boats heading out onto Lake Michigan. The boats were back around lunchtime, but I didn’t wrap up till late in the day.

This watercolor painting is available for purchase.
Frame size is 16 x 20, mat opening is 11.5 x 15.5. It is painted on 140 pound Arches cold press paper. Inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com

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.

Sundowner – Watercolor

Sundowner watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 11 x 15, sold)

This Sundowner rose grows in the flower bed next to my home. As the trees around me have grown, so has the lack of sun. Because of the abundant shade, this rose bush produced only two blooms. Looks like I will be moving it to a sunnier location come spring! Lots of glazing was used to create the glowing color of this sundowner rose watercolor. It is one of my smaller paintings, only 8 x 10 before framing. It is painted on 140# Arches cold press watercolor paper. Painting inquiries to mucciyvonne@yahoo.com ©Yvonne Pecor Mucci.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Spring Tulips Watercolor

Spring Tulips Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 15 x 16)

These tulips were a gift and they reminded me how enjoyable it is to paint directly instead of from a photograph. For me it is easier to see color, light and dark when painting directly. You don’t always have that opportunity, but when it presents itself, you have to go with it.

Sunflowers Watercolor

Sunflowers Watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (Framed 18 x 24)
