Winter Sky You are Invited!


New Years is upon us and I am trying new techniques and inspirations. Thus a winter sky with puffy clouds galore. I will have an Exhibit and Reception at Towne & Country Bank in Leawood KS on Friday Evening January 8th from 5:00-7:00 pm. Refreshments will be served. The location is on the SW corner of 135th and Roe Blvd. I hope you can make it!! Email or call me for further details ! kalbert1@kc.rr.com

I truly appreciate all of the encouragement & support from all of you!!

Ooooh I really like this! It's the sky you see when you're laying on your back looking up during the summer!

Paintings of the sky are always my favorite. Not sure why really but they speak to me! This is lovely, wish I could be there!

Thanks so much to all of the great comments. I am not sure why, clouds are so serene and peaceful. I haven't done these before and now I plan to do a series!

Toad said...

I wish we could be there. Looks lovely.

Am I the only reader here who remembers when Roe didn't go to 135 St?

Anna White said...

Karena..you should definitely do a series...these clouds are so uplifting :) just beautiful to gaze at...well done :) x

Karena said...

Toad, oh definitely! I remember when College Blvd and JCCC was out in the sticks. It seemed like you had to drive forever to get there.

Thanks for your comment on my mom post, I would love to have original artwork in her place but it will have to be at a less than $100 price point unfortunately!

Happy New year sweet friend!

Back in school, I loved learning about all the clouds and in Art History, I loved looking at the clouds painted by "Hopper" - looking where the light source is, is full of intrigue, even on a cloudy wintry day, we can see the sun or some sort of "silver lining!"
Have a wonderful show!

Karena said...

Clouds have always been a challenge for me, so I am doing a series. Patricia you are so right, there is always a silver lining!!

Karen,
Every time I visit, I am so inspired by your work. Your paintings move me....I am intrigued as to where you get your inspiration....do you see a photo or a horizon or a sky and then take it from there?
Lisa

Karena said...

As you see, I usually have a horizon line, so am very inspired by land and seascapes. The color palette may come from almost any where , a photo, a designer fabrics,clothing pattern of color, etc.I peruse the style and shelter magazines! The clouds are a break our for me...I have now done four. Two of which are in Darling Yoga's Space. Will post soon!

Karena said...

I should ask for comments on my new photo image look. Am experimenting!
