Kathleen Eaton Art: First Brush of Spring

First Brush of Spring

I've painted seven paintings in two days (so far). This is one of them -- a garden adjacent to a little church. The weather is beautiful and the flowers are blooming everywhere in southern Indiana. Wish me luck as I enter the final day of this competition and paint-out...

Kathleen said...: Thank you Teresa! This was a beautiful and serene place. New Harmony, IN, in general, is a very spiritual place. I want to make a few finishing touches on this painting, and will try to remember to post the final when it's done.; April 23, 2012 at 7:25 PM

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.
