Kathleen Eaton Art: Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero

Our son-in-law, Earl, never ceases to amaze me with his versatility and wit. His intelligence is matched by his creative abilities. Here he is, charming the socks off of our grandson, Brady. This was a quick study done as a possible prelude to a larger painting. I love this scene and debated whether to call it "Magic Carpet Ride" or "Guitar Hero." Either way, Earl is obviously his son's hero.

About Kathleen

Kathleen (Kay) Eaton left a career in graphic design and marketing to focus, full-time, on fine art oil painting, with an emphasis on portraits and figurative works. She also participates in a variety of plein air events throughout the country.

“After a lifetime in creative fields, I decided I didn’t want to get to my death bed and wish I had attempted to develop my skill as a fine artist,” she says. In that light, her work has a certain spirituality to it that fascinates and captivates her audience.

She has studied with Daniel Gerhartz, Everett Raymond Kinstler, C.W. Mundy, Nancy Guzik, Rose Frantzen, Judith Carducci, Peggy Baumgaertner, James Hempel and Andrew Orr.

In 2012, she was artist-in-residence at the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay, WI, and in 2013 she had a solo exhibit in the main lobby of the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, MI. Her work can be seen at River's End Gallery in Waukesha, WI, and at DCF Gallery in Grosse Point, MI, as well as on her website at www.kathleeneatonart.com.
