Brighten Up a Winter Day

In early October I fell and broke my rib. I also twisted my spine, sprained my wrist, and hit my head, resulting in some whiplash. Needless to say, I was a wreck. So, after about a month we drove to Arizona for some R&R. It was just what the doctor ordered! It was so good to spend time with family and friends, especially my grandchildren. I also started painting again!

I feel so good that I signed up for Leslie Byrd Saeta's 30 Day Challenge, which starts on January 1. If you want to follow my daily paintings, please "like" Eaton Art Gallery on Facebook!

Here is a teaser of one of the paintings I did while out west.

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.
