About the Item

"Morning Light on Yellow Hibiscus," is a contemporary floral painting of the delicate beauty of a single yellow hibiscus flower. This painting delivers a lush impressionistic style, emphasizing the vibrancy and essence of the flower through the use of color and texture. The hibiscus, with its soft, sunlit petals, is presented in a simple, rounded vase, drawing attention to its elegant form. The background of the painting is a rich, textured blue that provides contrast to the golden tones of the flower. This deep, layered blue backdrop adds a sense of depth and atmosphere to the composition. The surface on which the vase rests is rendered in swirling hues of brown and gold, which infuse the piece with warmth and balance the overall color palette. This choice intensifies the sense of light interacting with different surfaces, capturing a precise moment as morning light bathes the scene. The inspiration behind this work stems from observing the transformative effects of light as it interacts with natural elements, particularly how it strikes the petals of the flower and the surrounding table. Textured brushstrokes, value, and color define the flower’s petals and communicate a moment of bright tranquility, offering viewers a glimpse into the transient yet captivating interplay of light and nature. This 16 inch by 12 inch artwork is painted on a 1.25 inch cradled wood panel. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look and it is fitted with finger friendly wire, 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, 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.
