Katherine Kean
Marsh Labyrinth 2 atmospheric contemporary landscape

2013

About the Item

This atmospheric contemporary landscape depicts a great marshland, covered in tall grasses, through which boggy inlets gently meander. The marsh water that reflects the sky, leads to a sense of tranquility. Above, the sky is dominated by thick, swirling clouds imbued with shades of purple, grey, and blue, suggesting an impending storm or a moment of intense weather. The horizon is low, allowing the sky to occupy most of the canvas, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the power of nature. The use of light and shadow in the clouds adds depth and movement to the scene. The overall atmosphere is an intense, almost cinematic mood, capturing of the drama of nature's forces. This original painting is created in oil on 10 inch by 10 inch gallery wrapped linen, on 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look. Included is a floating black wood frame, wired with finger friendly wire, and ready to hang. 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. 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.

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. Katherine Kean 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...
