Cynthia and fellow artist George Other artists' works on exhibit at KCAC at this time.I was chatting with attendees when we were most crowded and did not take enough group photos. The group included several Kansas City Artists Coalition board members and their spouses including Robert and Merry Quackenbush and Dr. and Ada Koch. I May have more to share later. The trolley goes to the galleries on First Fridays so we had a great turnout.

wish i have your artistic talent, but i can visit this blog for the inspiration vibe...thanks so much for dropping by my blog. would love to visit here often. have a great mother's day! verbena cottage
Resplendent Art.
You art is filled with beauty and splendor; What you created is really hard to do -- creating a seascape that is lines and colors and have it look glorious. But then again that is why you are a true artist.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day and a fab weekend at the Kansas City Artists Coalition.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I am so glad you did so that I could come back here and find your page. It is terrific. I really am impressed by your art! I used to paint, and took classes for 8 years when I was younger, but haven't picked up a brush in years. Every once and a while, the "itch" comes back strong, but it is always at the wrong time. I always say that when my kids grow up, I will start again. I will definitely be back.
Dear Karena,
How lovely of you to come by and visit me! I am impressed with your world of art; I am an "illustrator" and storyteller but French teacher by trade.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment; I do hope I can inspire everyone to look closely at their dreams and that they are not to far from reach when one has the will and creativity! Anita
You know, I love your smaller works so much, they have an incredible depth and are alive to me. Sometimes I feel smaller proportions bring this out more.
I imagine the landscapes or the sea. Just lovely!
Congrats on your exhibition!

It was so lovely to talk with you and check out your art in person. Congratulations on a wonderful exhibit! You are as sweet, charming and talented as can be! Let us know when you have another show and George and I will certainly be there with bells on.
Very cool!
I love your paintings!!
Do you usually use oils or do you also do acrylic? Have you ever done encaustic?

Beautiful art - so talented! xx
Such lovely pieces Karena! Each and every one! (and you look great, not frazzled at all!) Stop by for a fun giveaway!
They're gorgeous! And you don't look frazzled, you look, calm, lovely and totally in control! I like the kilt, too!
Into the distance is such a strong powerful painting...The magazine is published by Moffly publications. I am not sure that it is still in the newstand as it came out 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately i only have one left for our records!!!! otherwise i would have been glad to send you a copy.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's so lovely when someeone actually leaves a comment so you know they were there. :)
Congratulations on your exhibition. I love that painting with the blues and yellows. It would go very nicely in my house. :)
Ann I work almost exclusively in oils. Really want to try encaustics beacuse of the depth and satiny finish of it.
Thank you all!
Cheers to you Karena!
Love all the glorious color-combo!

Looks wonderful!
How wonderful! I love art exhibits. It looks so fun and lively.
Positively stunning work as usual! Congratulations, it looks like a grand success!
I especially like the painting behind George
Karena - Thanks for visiting my blog! I appreciate the compliments. :) And I love the artwork - especially "Into The Distance". Must be the yellow kick I'm currently on. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful pictures and you and your friends look lovely. (It really seems that skirts for man are the flavour of the day.)
You look so pretty! I hope you had a successful event. The paintings are just wonderful. Wish I could have come. Hope you are well.
What a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work. I feel so privileged to "know" you. You look fab with your "frazzled" look. You need to crop that picture and post it under your profile. It makes you look young and carefree... just like an artist! Hugs and kisses, Catherine
I don't think you look frazzled at all!! You look like a very happy artist :-)
The Seascapes paintings are so pretty, especially the blue one. And wow, Into the Distance is huge!! That's a serious piece of artwork!!

Karena, there is emotion in your work. I find it simple in design and rich in color. I love the big format. It gives a sense of place.
Thanks for visiting my blog as I questioned if art is dying...
Congratulations on your show. It all looks lovely! (and you do "Frazzled" very well!)
very interesting blog. Some great conceptual art posted.
I love the seascapes, especially the blue one. So simple and calming.
Nice to meet you! I love looking around here at the beautiful artwork. My wife grew up in Kansas City until leaving for college, and went to school with, I believe, 2 of the Hall daughters (Melissa Hall perhaps?) and lived near them. ANYWAY, your blog is exciting and I shall be back :)
Oh, what a lovely event! I wish I had your job :)
Your favs are beautiful, and I just luv your top!!
