Kathleen Eaton Art: Two Become One

Two Become One

Today is Day 10 of my 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I'm 1/3 of the way there! This painting is from a photo I took this fall. I don't often paint trees, and this challenge has got me experimenting with a variety of things I wouldn't normally do. I have thousands of photos that I've taken over the years that I've never gone back and looked at. I would guess that's true of many artists. I prefer painting from life, but there's enough stress with this challenge in trying to do a painting a day that I think it's best not to attempt to paint in sub-zero temperatures. I do enjoy painting in winter, and one day soon I may get brave.

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.
