About the Item
"Bungalow Murmuration" emerges from the canvas like a whispered tale from a forgotten dream, where the boundaries of the familiar and the unknown gently blur. At the heart stands a solitary bungalow that exudes a cozy glow, illuminating the pathway bordered by meticulously groomed bushes.
Above this steadfast dwelling unfolds a celestial ballet: a murmuration of birds in fluid motion, painting the sky with their mystical choreography. Their flight forms ephemeral patterns that seem to echo the ancient rhythms of nature, casting fleeting shadows across the earthbound stillness below. This aerial dance juxtaposes the serenity of the bungalow, adding a layer of movement to the meditative silence of the scene.
The sky, as if dipped in twilight's ink, graduates from the deep whispers of purple into the gentle warmth of hidden embers, setting an enchanting stage for the unfolding drama. Two guardians, skeletal trees bereft of leaves, reach their limbs skyward, framing this dreamscape with silent witness and ageless wisdom. Their presence lends a timeless aura, enhancing the ethereal balance that pervades the scene.
The entire composition resonates with a symphony of contrasts—light against dark, stillness and flow, shelter and wildness—drawing the observer into a reflective journey. This piece invites viewers into a dialogue with the enigmatic forces of home and nature, daring them to explore the liminal spaces between comfort and the vast, untamed world.
This 12 inch by 12 inch artwork is painted on linen on 1 ½ inch stretchers. It is gallery wrapped with hand painted edges, suitable for framing or beautiful left as is. It is wired with finger friendly wire, ready for hanging.
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 amid nature's turbulence, providing a visually and emotionally rich experience. 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, the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale and the 2024 Hawai'i Surrealist Exhibit.

Foothill Thunderhead
By Katherine Kean
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Interesting phenomena affect the look of the landscape, whether it is the light effects caused by the reflective particles thrown into the air by a volcano, or the strange twilight caused by a storm suddenly and dramatically changing the angle of the sun’s rays and for a moment, relighting the landscape. In this painting it is a thunderhead cloud forming suddenly above the mountains.
This small alla-prima painting is created directly in a single session, on gallery wrapped linen, with 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is.
