About the Item
The phenomenon of murmuration is fascinating. At a particular time at the end of the day birds gather in large numbers and swoop back and forth across the sky. Here they are emerging from the violet dusk like a dark cloud and creating elegant patterns against the fading light over a suburban home. How and why they do this is a mystery, but whatever the reason this behavior is compelling to observe as individual birds disappear into the whole and become part of something larger.
This painting is oil on linen canvas, 12 x 16 inches and framed with a simple black, wood, floating gallery frame. The framed size 14 1/4 x 18 1/2 inches. It is wired with finger friendly wire and ready to install, and comes with an official certificate of authenticity.
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 ThunderheadBy Katherine KeanLocated in Palm Desert, CAInteresting 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.
