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?

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!

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.

Yellow Adobe Original Oil Painting, by Joan Pechanec, 20 x 10 $275 I love the colors of this adobe house outside of Taos, New Mexico: warm buttery yellow with bright turquoise trim. The clear blue of the sky, the sienna of the tree limbs, and the pale lavender blue of the snow all play beautifully with the adobe.

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.

Blue Cottage, Image of 16x20 original oil painting of two rustic buildings in a countryside landscape by Joan Pechanec, Mt Shasta, CA, 2014.

The boat and groves of trees were lit up in the neon evening light.
