Katherine Kean
Where Yellow Birds Fly Across Pink Skies triptych contemporary landscape

2024

About the Item

In this colorful, imaginary landscape, diminutive saffron finches fly through the yellow leaves and graceful branches of a tropical Bacarubu tree. The light of the evening sun reflects atmospheric particles, while the liquidity of humid skies block bright red and orange light, resulting in a vivid pink sunset. A volcano quietly vents in the distance, a reminder of nature's power. This original oil painting is a triptych. Each section is 20 x 20 inches. All three sections together are 20 x 60 inches. Painted on gallery wrapped linen, with 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers, it is wired with finger friendly, coated wire for easy installation. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is. 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 in the midst of 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.

Foothill Thunderhead
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. In this painting it is a thunderhead cloud forming suddenly above the mountains. This small alla-prima painting is created directly in a single session, on gallery wrapped linen, with 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is. Katherine Kean has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections.
