About the Item

This small-scale painting presents a familiar joy, that of a little bird that is one of many daily garden guests. The tiny bird perches on the crisscrossing stems of a bright pink flowering bougainvillea. A bird in the garden is a simple pleasure. Beauty can be found in the most ordinary of moments. The layered and lightly textured application of paint creates unexpected variations in color and tone. The result gives viewers an opportunity to reconnect with an essential experience of nature, to appreciate the simple joys, and to find solace in challenging times. This original painting is created in oil on gallery wrapped linen, on 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is. Katherine Kean’s paintings seek moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her work aims to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of nature's turbulence. She has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections. She has been honored to have her work selected for Bloomingdales in Santa Monica, California, Schiffer's 100 Artists of the West Coast II, Paint America's Paint the Parks, Manhattan Arts Healing Arts International's Celebrate the Healing Power of Art and the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale.
