Portfolio of Works

I am fortunate to live in a beautiful part of California.  I enjoy sketching and painting outdoors with friends and fellow painters.  Watercolors outdoors are always challenging with changing light and weather conditions.  The immediacy and beauty always draw me back to the challenge.  I hope to have captured something from the scene to inspire others.

Giclee' prints are made from my original watercolors.  They are printed in the highest professional fashion, using  fine quality, archival  paper.

A selection of seagulls and Carmel Valley scenes available exclusively in the Carmel Valley Art Association Gallery, 2 Chambers Lane, Carmel Valley CA

" Highway One Drive " are a series of 4 studies, A, B, C, and D.  They are printed from original watercolors by Peggy Hutton and currently available in the Carmel Valley Art Association Gallery, # 2 Chambers Lane, Carmel Valley Village CA.

Local and Regional Shows & Exhibitions include the Carmel Bach Festival 's " The Art of Music ", The Monterey Art Museum's " Miniatures", The Pacific Grove Art Center's " Tiny Treasures", and The Art Council's " Cham[ions of the Arts."

Peggy Hutton is an award-winning artist who participates in events by local , regional, and national arts organizations.  The watercolor image of the Pacific Grove Post Office was selected for use by the Heritage Society's Historic Home Tour.

" Timeless Pacific Grove" are small-size original watercolors in an ongoing series which are painted on paper, inspired by the charming community of Victorian buildings situated on Monterey Bay.   They are exclusively available in the "Artisana Gallery"  6121 Lighthouse Avenue in downtown Pacific Grove CA. 

I am often asked about my choices of drawing mediums:

     Conte' Crayon is a drawing medium composed of compressed powdered graphite or charcoal mixed with was or clay base, square & rectangular in form.  Invented in France in 1795.  Manufactured using natural pigments, common colors are black, white, sanguine, bistre and gray.  "This is a favorite drawing medium of mine."

     Pencil and powdered graphite are another favorite.  I usually choose a soft paper such as one typically used by printmakers for maximizing the detail and shadows.

Included in this " Sold Works " collection are a few of the paintings, drawings, and prints who have found happy homes.  I sincerely thank you all for your patronage of local art and artists!
