House on the Bay, Mixed Media by Joan Pechanec, 24 x 36 $550 This large mixed media piece consists of layers of papers, acrylic paints, and oil paints. I wanted to create a semi-abstract effect, emphasizing the varying textures, the warm colors, and the misty light on the water. I was particularly interested in the negative spaces of the land. This painting was inspired by the gorgeous light and the evocative mood of the houses on stilts on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. I fell in love with this area during the 3 winters my husband, Charlie Price, was writer-in-residence in Fairhope, Alabama, a unique old Utopian town in the South.

Riverside Trees Mixed Media Collage by Joan Pechanec, 20 x 20, (1 1/2 Gallery Wrapped Canvas) $350 This is a semi-abstract depiction of the moss-covered maple trees on the river bank outside my studio on the Upper Sacramento River. I used a collage paper technique to highlight the deep colors and textures of the trunks. I wanted to emphasize the contrast of the cool blue negative spaces with the thick, rich colors of the foliage. I love these trees which are unique and marvelous every season of the year!
