About the Item

Storm Clouds over Mountain Trail captures a moment of intense natural contrast, where turbulent weather meets quiet landscape. The vertical composition draws the eye upward into a sky dense with swirling clouds, alive with texture and movement. Shades of white, blue, and gray ripple across the canvas, suggesting the raw energy of an approaching storm. Below, the rugged mountain range catches fragments of warm, golden light, highlighting the rocky terrain’s roughness and depth. A winding dirt path leads through dry grasses in the foreground, while a solitary leafless tree anchors the scene on one side, its stark silhouette emphasizing the balance between stillness and the weather’s volatility. The painting invites viewers to experience the dynamic tension between light and shadow, storm and calm, creating a vivid impression of nature’s layered complexity. 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.

Foothill Storm Cloud alla prima landscape painting
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.

The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is.
