Katherine Kean
The Weight of Air

About the Item

A combination of a Cape Cod marsh and imaginary storm clouds. The foreground grasses are slightly impasto brushstrokes, as are some of the wind tossed 'debris' in the air. 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 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. My paintings aim to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of natures turbulence.
