Today we'll look at the work of Rhode Island artist Kathy Weber. Kathy has chosen "Study for 'Birds and Babies'" as her personal favorite painting from 2012:
Kathy Weber Study for "Birds and Babies" oil on panel 8" x 10" November 2012
I love this beach scene, with its sense of wind and fresh air. Here are two of my favorite paintings of Kathy's from 2012:
Kathy Weber P-Town oil on canvas 6" x 6" October 2012
Kathy Weber Morning 5" x 7" October 2012
I'm absolutely crazy about Kathy Weber's landscapes, particularly ones that include buildings. While all her work conveys a strong strong sense of air, space and light, I find "P-town" and "Morning" especially expressive.
The simplification of the large shapes in these painting gives a feeling of expansive calm, but then the dynamic compositions provide a buoyant energy. Her colors are strong and beautiful but don't seem exaggerated- my eyes simply don't want to leave!

That painting P-town is really something special! Great rhythm and a wonderful restraint to some of the color choices.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great series! Kathy Weber was one of the first blogging artists that attracted me when I began blogging. She does a beautiful job of capturing light on her canvas.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you highlighted Kathy's work! I LOVE her paintings and have been following her blog for the last couple of years. She has had a couple of shows at the F.A.N. gallery in Philadelphia...a must see if she does show there again! She does amazing work both plein air and in the studio.
