About the Item

Dark Sea under Clouded Sky captures the fierce energy of a restless sea under an approaching storm. The composition features deep, muted blues and grays that merge into the churning water, interrupted by sharp flashes of white foam as waves collide with the shore. Above, the sky is heavy with thick, dark clouds that seem to press down on the scene, amplifying the imminent tension in the atmosphere. The surface of the water near the coastline reflects the turbulence, creating ripples and shadows that convey motion and unpredictability. The oil on linen medium enriches the textures, allowing the expressive brushstrokes to echo the raw power of the natural world. This work invites viewers to immerse themselves in the dramatic interplay between sea and sky, evoking a moment of awe inspired by the relentless forces of nature. This painting measures 18 by 24 inches and is rendered in oil on linen, with gallery wrapped edges that are hand painted, and 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 and the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale and the 2024 Hawai'i Surrealist Exhibit.
