Gallery of Collected Works
Paintings that have found their homes.
Each piece in this gallery has been collected by someone who felt a particular pull toward it — a quality of light, a familiar landscape, a moment they wanted to hold onto. These works are no longer available, but they represent the enduring connection paintings can make with the people who live with them.
At First Blush | Oil on Linen | 8×10 | © Beth Cole
The pink floral plant grows in the dry lagoon and makes the field more than ordinary.
Barrett Creek at Sunrise | Oil on Linen | 20 × 20 | © Beth Cole
This is a larger painting of the plein air piece I painted early one morning at a small creek running through our campground, Barrett Creek. It was a joyous experience and I'm happy to share it with you.
A Quiet Place | 12 × 12 | Oil on Linen | © Beth Cole
This painting is an adaptation of a beautiful rocky creek we drove over each day as we toured the area around our Colorado campsite. It caught my eye every time and finally I was able to capture my version of it in paint.
Big Horn Meadow | 8 × 10 | Oil on Panel | © Beth Cole
I visited the Big Horn area of Wyoming recently and had a chance to paint while I was there. This is my favorite view and painting, the first snow fell a few days before we visited the area so it was fun to capture that along with the beautiful meadow.
Early May | 8 x 8 | Oil on Panel | Framed | © Beth Cole
Painted en plein air on a beautiful May morning.
For Such a Time As This, 16 x 20, Oil on Canvas, © Beth Cole
This painting is nothing like my plein air painting of the scene, or the photograph I took to help me remember. It is about the shiny water which was surrounded by dark green trees and grass when I observed it in person. My color study for this piece was warmer in every way and the final piece is where my paintbrush led as I trusted my intuition and memories of that place.
Blooming | 8 x 10 | Oil on Panel | © Beth Cole
This field was a show stopper for me. The pink! I pulled over and did a plein air painting straight away.
