Sunlit Yellow Hibiscus, by Katherine Kean, presents a striking close-up of a hibiscus flower rendered in rich oil colors. The petals glow with a translucent quality, illuminated from behind to reveal intricate layers of texture and depth. At the center, a vibrant red core anchors the composition, while the surrounding yellow petals fan outward in bold, confident strokes. The flower rests in a modest vase placed upon a reflective surface that captures subtle glimmers of light, adding a quiet sense of presence and balance. In the background, abstract shapes in varied greens and reds hint at tropical foliage without drawing focus from the main subject. Measuring 16 by 12 inches on a cradled panel, the warm palette and energetic brushwork combine to celebrate both the delicate beauty and radiant vitality of the flower, inviting an intimate appreciation of light and form.

Scattered Glow

#ArtAdventCalendar
"Scattered Glow" by Katherine Kean depicts a dramatic landscape at sunset, showcasing a winding river that flows through a gently rolling terrain. The sky dominates the composition with vibrant orange and red clouds scattered across a deepening blue sky, creating a striking contrast that captures the fleeting light of dusk. The light of the setting sun bounces off the particles of smoke from a distant fire. The warm hues of the clouds reflect subtly on the river's surface.

I’m somewhat nervous sharing this painting as I created it just after my mother passed away in July this year.

A ‘loose’ watercolour of a misty wood. As I watch on in the stillness I see a familiar figure drifting away to a peaceful place 🤍

Happy Friday everyone 🕊️

#ArtAdventCalendar #Scape
A rough watercolour painting of a misty forest scene. A number of tall tree trunks appear darker in the foreground and fade away with loose foliage showing at the top of the picture. Beams of sunlight appear to break through the mist to the right and illuminate a blurry figure, what appears to be an elderly person with a stick, slightly bent over. The figure appears to be trying to find their way, drifting towards a brighter light that can just be seen in the distance.

#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt Artwork of the gas-giant exoplanet HD209458b, also known as Osiris. It orbits its star in just 3.5 days at only 1/8 of the Mercury-Sun distance, and is gradually being evaporated away. The system lies 159 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.
This is an artwork of a gas-giant exoplanet that orbits so close to its star that its atmosphere is being stripped away by the star's fierce ultraviolet flux. The planet goes by the catalogue name of HD 209458b, and is also known as Osiris. Osiris orbits its star at only one-eighth of the Mercury-Sun distance, with a period of 3.5 days, and has an estimated surface temperature of around 1000 degrees Celsius. The system lies 159 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.

“Katzen auf rotem Tuch”
(Cats on a Red Cloth)
By Franz Marc
1909

#caturday
Oil painting depicting two cats sleeping on a red blanket. One cat is orange and white, and the other cat is black and white. The background is a kaleidoscope of colors and textures. The dominant hue—a deep, resonant crimson—dominates the composition, mirroring the cloth upon which two cats sleep. Complementing the red is a carefully considered interplay of earthy tones, subtly hinting at the tones of the natural world.

Another one of my stained glass pieces. It's an interpretation of red geraniums in a terracotta pot, sitting on a blue and red checkered table in front of a window with blue curtains.

#EastCoastKin #StainedGlass #Art
A smallish stained glass piece hangs in a narrow window behind a ficus tree which is next to a white couch with a golden yellow pillow. The glass piece is of a stylized red geranium in a terracotta pot sitting on a table with a red and blue checkered tablecloth. A window is behind the geranium, and there is a deep blue curtain hanging next to the window.

Slow Release of the Day

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4

www.1stdibs.com/art/painting...
"Slow Release of the Day" by Katherine Kean shows Malibu Lagoon, a saltwater marsh where Malibu Creek empties into the Pacific, where still waters are separated from the waves by a few feet of sand, creating a quiet place for birds to swim and the sun to set. Soft, warm colors create a calm and reflective mood. The river flows gently through the center, bordered by tall grasses and reeds on both sides. In the background, a row of bare deciduous trees stands silhouetted against a hazy, softly glowing sky. The light reflects warmly off the water, giving the scene a golden, almost ethereal quality. The overall composition emphasizes tranquility and the quiet beauty of nature transitioning between day and night.

The Theater of Air
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3
The Theater of Air by Katherine Kean depicts a serene sunset landscape over a body of water, framed by darkened silhouettes of trees on both sides. The sky dominates the scene with a dramatic blend of colors, transitioning from soft blues and pinks to deep oranges and purples. Dark clouds drift across the sky, interspersed with swirling flocks of birds that create dynamic movement across the composition. The water below reflects the warm hues of the sky, enhancing the tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The overall mood is peaceful, with a sense of natural beauty captured in the interplay of light, color, and motion.

‘Bull’s Blood’ beet, watercolour on hot press paper

I grew a clump of heirloom beets from seed, harvested the beautiful leaves as baby greens for salads, then painted this one at the end of the season, and roasted the roots. Delicious!

Beyond the Flowers
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2
Beyond the Flowers by Katherine Kean depicts an ancient tree set against a vibrant starry night sky in hues from pink to indigo, amid a field of golden poppies. Inspired by a tree in the Peak District that is 2000 - 3000 years old. This ancient tree is so large for the churchyard space it occupies that one can barely get a view of the whole tree in it's entirety.

#FebruARTy Day 26: #Magenta

This piece started as a way to play around with some new materials and techniques. I set it aside for a while and came back to it with a way to finish it up with some line art and fuzzy borders.

#Art #Painting
12x12 canvas on a brown wood-grain floor. The composition is a chaos of stenciled teal daffodils & copper fan, textured glossy teal daisies, textured silvery-purple pebbly moon, and stenciled black squares connected with odd diagonal lines. Through it all is silver line art and purple string art against a magenta and teal stained background. There is a bright magenta border with many fuzzy spots bleeding into the canvas.

Day 2 #ArtAdventCalendar & #WomensBrainHealthDay • This #SciArt #symptomatology #embroidery is loosely based on a Ramon y Cajal drawing and depicts the electrical fog I feel in my brain due to #MECFS: she was tributaries (2016).
An embroidery on bone white linen. There are many coral-like neurons in the vague shape of a brain embroidered in shades of blue. The bottom section is navy blue and transitions to a lighter blue at the top. The text at the bottom reads: she was tributaries, all electric.
