About me:

In a sense, the history of landscape painting in the West has always been a history of “memories, dreams, and visions," as Katherine Kean has described her own work. A childhood of moving and traveling around the United States has shaped her vision, as have a long trip to eastern Africa and more recent painting jaunts all over Kean’s now native California and it’s desert environs. But-as per the Western tradition-Kean maintains that her painterly domain is as much soul, spirit, and imagination as it is the great-or seemingly greater-outdoors. Indeed, Kean’s large scaled, richly textured oils and tonally fluid watercolors are products of the studio, as well as “the fresh air”-perhaps even more the studio. After painting many studies on site, in Big Sur or the California mountains, she returns to the studio and effects what is, for her, the definitive artistic process, rethinking and redoing her outdoor studies again and again, working through an idea from sheet to sheet, from canvas to canvas, until she has arrived at the artwork’s ultimate plastic realization-even, in a more ethereal sense, manifestation.

    '
    one tear falls
    and the world is healed

    one tear falls
    and your love is sealed

    one tear falls
    and the layers are pealed

    one tear falls
    and your beauty revealed



    one tear falls...

    I dare you to watch this short video and comment back saying Gnomes truly do not exist. This video is called: Gnome in Argentina.

    If
    you think about it, I believe that there can be a great loneliness, but it is
    only apparent sensation, Because there is a "universe" and a
    "world" that wants to communicate with us.
    If one does not
    have a great love, small daily joys are no less ...
    Thank you for
    your friendship, we are very grateful!
         A hug and a kiss from Scarlett and
    Umberto












    We wish you a
    happy weekend full of gioie!

    Flight of the albatross soul!

    Flip of fleet,
    My wet feet,
    Never defeated by the weak and hateful!

    The fire grows,
    The love glows,
    The passion to fly,
    The feeling i have died...
    And in heaven I reside,
    In light elf home!

    Runes carved upon my breast,
    Runes graven by the love Goddess!

    Water flows,
    Like a river of tears,
    Water cleanses,
    The soul of ancient dreams...

    I feel the air,
    I smell the perfume of buttercups,
    They rise into my nostrils,
    As I take to the wind,
    Flying at last...

    Runes carved upon my breast,
    Runes graven by the wise Odin!

    I taste the earth,
    Its bounty of fruits,
    Mother,
    Oh great one,
    Lover,
    Oh sensual boi-diversity...
    You universal energy,
    Heals me,
    And your trees
    They whisper secrets to my ear in my soul....

    I am dying,
    I am crying,
    I am breathing,
    Yet shallow,
    Before I am transmuted into the greatest I

    As shall thee!
    All of us,
    In reverence of life,
    AT last!

    Runes carved upon my breast,
    Runes graven by my own crafty hands!

    Flight of the Albatross soul...
    Flight of the Raven seeker...
    Flight of the Eagle so bold,
    Flight of the Owl, wise and old!!

    Runes carved upon my breast,
    Runes graven by you...

    Stellar power of the Reiki and Ond,
    Going far beyond,
    The passion...

    Of the eternal cycle of life,
    Of the branches of the eternal tree,
    Of the whispers arcana,
    In the spirit of the brave....
    Our ancestors,
    Their life-force,
    Lovingly given,
    In seed and egg and nurture,
    Life is the infinite pleasure!

    Be wise,
    Be wild,
    Go and be you....
