About the Item

This dynamic seascape celebrates the raw power and beauty of nature in energetic detail, showcasing robust, textured waves crashing against the rugged, reddish-brown rocks of the Maine coast. The motion of the water forms a striking white foam that contrasts with the darker blue and gray hues of the ocean. This interplay of colors and textures brings a dramatic and engaging mood to the piece. Inspired by the contrast between the rich red rocks and the gray blue ocean, as well as the refreshing splash of the waves, the artist has blended realism with impressionistic brushwork, conveying a sense of movement and invigorating energy. The scene is visually engaging and emotionally evocative, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the sheer force and beauty of the coastal environment. This original painting is created in oil on 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, 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.
