Tiburon and Tiburon II - Original and Commission - by Victoria Kloch

Last December I had the privilege to re-create this contemporary abstract painting. The original was 30"x40" and the client needed 36"x48".  This panting is a complex  piece with thin layers upon layers. Fortunately I still had the original and I was able to work the larger one as a reference.  Shortly after completing Tiburon II the original sold.

Prussian Blue 29.5"x41" watercolor on paper seascape color field painting by Victoria Kloch - Sold

Prussian Blue Winsor Newton watercolor paint has got to be on the top of my list of favorite watercolors to use. For this painting I used it on bright white, 300 lb. hot press by Fabriano.  It amazed me how by using just one color could create such depth but that was only possible because of this high quality watercolor paper.  When this gets framed under glass, all I can say is wow!

Purple Haze  16"x24"  landscape color field abstract by Victoria Kloch - Sold

This painting was in inspired from another hike in Sunol many years ago. We had spent the whole day exploring the hills and by the time we started to head back the sky was starting to change. From where we were, the light was moving behind the trees cooling us from the heat of the day.  As we looked up into the vista the view was breathtaking to my eyes where the sky in the far off distance now had a bluish lavender glow.

Sunol Regional Wilderness Park in Alameda County, Ca. is one of my most favorite places to hike locally. That is our go to place to get away when we want to take in all that nature has to offer.  

Wiebke's View at Point Reyes Station 8"x10" coastal abstract landscape painting by Victoria Kloch

Since I moved back down to the Bay Area I have been to so many beautiful places here in California. For a longtime I have been wanting to document our hikes with an oil painting but never took the time to do so.  Wienke's View is my first. What I wanted to capture in this piece are the rich colors and textures of my beautiful state. When I was a kid, I remember asking my mother why are the hills all dry and yellow?  She so beautifully replied that they are our golden hills. After that I saw them with different eyes and appreciated the amazing contrast between the sky, deep green trees and our golden hills.  Mr. Wiebke your favorite view was breathtaking and thank you Mom for helping me see.
