Karen Fedderson - Vertical Landscape

Karen Fedderson's paintings

called “Poetry on Canvas”, celebrate the beauty of the California coastal landscape. The subjects of the most recent work are beaches, back roads and trails of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. I focus on the landforms, the colors of the water and plant life that occur in the unique conditions of light near the sea. With patient brushwork the paintings capture a level of detail that involves the viewer in the compositions. With rich coloration and deep atmospheric perspective I attempt to bring out the emotional qualities of my experience at the location.
