About the Item

"Small House on the Great Marsh" depicts a serene and atmospheric landscape focused on a marsh. Dominating the composition are golden grasses that lead the viewer's eye across the canvas towards a small, rustic structure nestled in the background. This quaint building stands against a backdrop of a cloudy sky, suggesting a narrative of solitude and simplicity. The sky itself is richly textured, with variations in the cloud formations adding depth and mood to the scene. Threaded through the grasses is a meandering expanse of calm water, which reflects the sky and cloudscape above. This reflection not only enhances the sense of tranquility but also amplifies the harmonious balance between earth and sky, creating a seamless transition between the two. The relationship of light and shadow across the landscape imbues the scene with a dynamic yet peaceful atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the gentle rhythms of nature. The artwork's unique composition and use of color capture the natural beauty and quietude of the marshland, offering a moment of stillness and reflection. The choice of medium brings a tactile quality to the painting, emphasizing the intricate details and textures found within the landscape. "Small House on the Great Marsh" ultimately serves as a meditative invitation to contemplate the serene interactions between light, land, and water. This 6 inch by6 inch artwork is painted on linen on 1 ½ inch stretchers. It is gallery wrapped with hand painted edges, and framed floating style in dark brown wood that is 8 inches by 8 inches in size.. It is signed on verso 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.
