About the Item
Hawaii Island clouds form a dramatic skyscape. The sky
occupies the majority of the canvas, with voluminous clouds creating
striking contrast between light and shadow. The top portion of the sky is
filled with soft white clouds tinged with light hues of blue, suggesting
sunlight is filtering through. Below, darker clouds with purplish-grey
tones suggest an impending storm or the receding tumult of one. There is a
clear division in the clouds, hinting of a struggle between the serene and
the tempestuous.
Below the imposing sky, lies a bleak landscape. The minimalistic detail
enhances the sense of open space. A single, solitary tree stands resilient
in the midst of this expanse, providing a focal point on the ground and
emphasizing the vastness of the sky above. The contrast of the dark tree
against the lighter horizon also echoes the play of light and dark in the
clouds above, tying the composition together. The work represents the
sublime in nature, invoking emotions of awe and the sense of the
overwhelming power of the natural world.
This original painting is created in oil on 16 inch by 16 inch gallery
wrapped linen, on 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted,
providing a finished look. Included is a floating black wood frame, wired
with finger friendly wire, and ready to hang.
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. 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.
