Salton Sea Desert, Mixed Media by Joan Pechanec 20” x 16” $375 This is a mixed media piece chosen for the juried show “Between the Covers”, art inspired by books, at the Siskiyou Arts Museum in Dunsmuir, California. This is an interpretation of a scene in the thriller “Desert Angel” where a girl is running through the desert to escape her mother’s killer. I painted the landscape in a surrealistic fashion reflecting Angel’s intense and dazed state of mind. Artistically I was interested in the patterns and dimensional texture of the scene. (Charlie Price is an Edgar award-winning novelist and my husband.)

Light in the Valley, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 16 x 20 $375 This painting was inspired by a scene from a trip to Switzerland. I loved the proportions, the way the vertical cliff dwarfs the small house in the valley, and the sharp value contrast of the morning light. I used a palette knife to paint the rock surfaces so the painting has a dynamic texture.

Two-toned Truck, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 12 x 16 unframed (17 x 20 1/2”Framed) $350 This charming truck is now parked in Dunsmuir. I adore the color combination, red and turquoise, and the patch-work effect of the new parts and the aging, oxidized sections! This is a one-of-a-kind vintage vehicle. What stories could it tell?

Somewhere in Texas, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 12 x 24 For three winters we have made the long drive from California to Alabama. This painting is from a photo taken from our car on the seemingly endless stretch of Highway 10 through Texas. We passed many isolated small towns with their ubiquitous water towers. I tried to convey the lonely, lost-in-another-time feeling these places evoke. I always wonder what it would be like to live in such a town.

Somewhere in Texas

Old Mine Building, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 16” X 20” unframed 22” x 26” framed $375 I saw this abandoned mine building in the middle of aspen groves in the Canadian Rockies. I was drawn to the weathered blue-grey wood of the old structure tucked in between the intense yellow, red, and orange tones of the trees. It must have once been a thriving operation.

Old Mine Building

Morning in New Orleans, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 24 x 24, (1 1/2 gallery wrapped canvas) $400 I saw this scene when I got up early on a visit to New Orleans. The streets were clear, no crowds of tourists or traffic. It had rained the night before and there was still water in the gutters. The beautiful old buildings, rich with their European architecture and embellishments, were stunning in the fresh morning light!

Morning in New Orleans

Jungle Light, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 16 x 20 $325 I was interested in creating an abstract painting which suggested the light coming through dense foliage onto vibrant jungle flowers. Or maybe it is light coming through an underwater green pool? I wanted the mood to be vague, ethereal, and open to the viewer’s personal interpretation.

Refuge (Sanctuary Series) Mixed Media (A very heavily textured mixture of collage, oil, acrylic, metallics, cold wax) Image Size: 11” x 14” $350 Includes Frame My mixed-media painting, “Refuge,” is an image of a monastery-like retreat high in the Asian mountains, somewhere in Bhutan or Tibet. “Refuge” comes in a custom silvered leaf-patterned frame. This painting is included in my Sanctuary series. This series was generated by a call to escape everyday reality into another realm. Each image represents a different form of transcendence or detachment.
