About the Item
Hawaii Island clouds form a dramatic skyscape. The sky
occupies the majority of the canvas, with voluminous clouds creating
striking contrast between light and shadow. The top portion of the sky is
filled with soft white clouds tinged with light hues of blue, suggesting
sunlight is filtering through. Below, darker clouds with purplish-grey
tones suggest an impending storm or the receding tumult of one. There is a
clear division in the clouds, hinting of a struggle between the serene and
the tempestuous.
Below the imposing sky, lies a bleak landscape. The minimalistic detail
enhances the sense of open space. A single, solitary tree stands resilient
in the midst of this expanse, providing a focal point on the ground and
emphasizing the vastness of the sky above. The contrast of the dark tree
against the lighter horizon also echoes the play of light and dark in the
clouds above, tying the composition together. The work represents the
sublime in nature, invoking emotions of awe and the sense of the
overwhelming power of the natural world.
This original painting is created in oil on 16 inch by 16 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 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.

View AllBillowing contemporary landscape clouds
By Katherine Kean
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Inspired by always moving, always changing, epic blue and cloudy skies that bring "billows upon billows upon billows" of clouds. Katherine Kean seeks 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. Katherine paintings aim to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of natures turbulence. A childhood of moving and traveling around the United States has shaped Katherine Kean's vision, as have journeys to eastern Africa, Mexico, Scotland, France and painting jaunts all over Kean's now native California. Born in West Virginia, moving later to Ohio and New Jersey, but growing up mainly in Massachusetts, she attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in Film, Video and Animation. Long fascinated by the intersection of order and chaos in the natural world, Katherine Kean skillfully uses observation, memory, and interpretation to translate her love of natures kinetic phenomena into paintings that capture the often turbulent emotions within light, weather, and landscapes. Her work has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, including the LACMA Art Rental and Sales Gallery and the Brand Library Art Gallery in Los Angeles...

Located in Palm Desert, CA
Driving into a storm causing a moment of wonder and excitement. Original 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. From the artist: As a painter, I seek out these moments in nature; when the wind picks up and the clouds gather, sparking a world of heightened mood and sensation. My paintings aim to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of natures turbulence.
