Katherine Kean
Grant Street Murmuration urban landscape

2015

About the Item

I'm fascinated by the phenomena of murmuration, when birds gather in large numbers and swoop back and forth across the sky. Here, depicting a Victorian house in an imaginary winter, the birds are emerging from the dusk like a dark cloud and creating unique patterns against the pale rose light, edged by a violet dusk. This painting is oil on linen canvas, 12 x 12 inches. The frame is included and the framed size is 13 3/4 inches by 13 3/4 inches. The frame is a simple, black, wood, floating gallery frame and is wired with finger friendly wire for installation. A certificate of authentication is included. 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. Katherine Kean 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.
