About the Item

Inspired by the interaction of light with the petals of a white poppy, this artwork pays homage to the myriad of colors that emerge from what is often perceived as merely 'white.' The light striking the petals reveal a fascinating spectrum with delicate hints of blue, which adds to the depth of the composition. The center of the flower is rich with orange and yellow tones. This vivid core serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer’s eye into the intricate world encapsulated in the petals. The background, a harmonious blend of muted greens and blues, subtly contrasts with and elevates the main subject, enhancing the poppy’s luminous presence. This nuanced exploration invites viewers to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within simple natural elements. This 12 inch by 12 inch artwork is painted on a ¼ inch panel. It is framed, floating style, in a maple wood frame. Framed dimensions are 13 x 13 x 1.25 inches. 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.
