About The Artwork I am driven to express what has been revealed to me during intense moments of transformation. When one colour blends naturally into another and the emerging painting captures the essence of the revelation I experience a sense of peaceful completion. Explaining my work any further would be to make up a story as there is really nothing more to say. Hope it speaks to you:-) Original Created: 2021 Subjects: Abstract Materials: Canvas Styles: Abstract Abstract Expressionism Fine Art Mediums: Acrylic Details & Dimensions Painting: Acrylic on Canvas Original: One-of-a-kind Artwork Size: 23.6 W x 31.5 H x 1.6 D in Frame: Not Framed Ready to Hang: Not applicable Packaging: Ships in a Box

Majesty © Karen Mathison Schmidt 48 x 36 inches • acrylic & oil on cradled GessobordTM Commission • Lafayette, Louisiana A couple of weeks ago I enjoyed a wonderful drive down to Lafayette to deliver this commissioned painting to its new home. After weeks of emailing and texting it was fun finally meeting Annie in person. She and her husband collect Louisiana artists, and it's an honor to have one of my paintings in their beautiful home. And a double honor that they had me to this painting on the occasion of the birth of their second son. So cool to think that growing up, he'll think of this lion as his very own painting. To top it all off, Annie very kindly gave me some popcorn snacks and a huge bottle of water for my drive back home. Thanks, Annie! (From the “You might be an artist if ... ” file: I’m sure all you artists out there already noticed how the Sea Salted Caramel is totally color coordinated with my notebook cover. And my charge cord.) And then: the perfect ending to a wonderful day ... Hallelujah.
Bathed in the captivating glow of the setting sun, this mesmerising print captures the serene beauty of Charlestown Harbour during golden hour, rendered through a harmonious blend of abstract forms and a warm, amber-infused palette. The artwork transports viewers to the Scottish coast, where the languid sea reflects the vibrant hues of twilight, and silhouetted vessels hint at the tranquillity of seafaring life. This print features an admirably abstract interpretation of light and texture, which allows the observer to experience the harbour's atmosphere rather than just its precise geography. Bold, impasto strokes mingle with softly diffused areas, inviting the eye to dance across the canvas and linger where the evening light kisses the water's surface. With an almost tangible warmth, the central orb of the sun makes a bold statement on the horizon, suggesting the close of day and the promise of stillness that night brings. The architectural forms of the harbour buildings are presented in an interplay of light and shadow, their recognisable outlines softened by the abstraction that allows them to exist simultaneously as both distinct structures and ethereal components of a larger, mesmerising scene. Seafaring vessels, moored and at rest, share in the glow, their sails and masts etching delicate lines against the soft-focus backdrop. Evocative and tranquil, this print is an homage to the unique beauty of Scottish Harbours, offering an abstract visual narrative that is open to individual interpretation. Suitable for any space that yearns for a touch of calm or a whisper of nautical charm, this piece is a stunning addition to our 'Scottish Harbours' collection. It invites you to step away from the rush of modern life and surrender to the reflective peace of Charlestown Harbour at its most enchanting hour.

An ode to the serene beauty of the Scottish wilderness, this exquisite print captures the enchanting Roseroot herb poised against the natural majesty of Ben More, Isle of Mull. Stylized in the distinctive sinuous curves and elegant motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau, the piece interweaves flora and landscape to create a symphony of colour and form. Foregrounded are delicate clusters of Roseroot, their soft pink blooms gracefully arching towards the sun, set against a verdant backdrop of layered foliage and vivid orange flowers reminiscent of a painter's wild garden. These botanical elements, vibrant yet soothing, seem to pulse with life against the geometric solidity of the cliffs. The rocky terrain is rendered in a mosaic of cool blues and greys, creating a striking contrast to the warm, lush flora. Harmonious and organic, the partitioned rocks take on an almost tessellated quality, a testament to the union of natural form and artistic interpretation. Receeding into the distance, the tranquil blues of the sky and waterscape meet, their subtle gradations and gentle undulations suggesting both the calm and the power of the sea. This dichotomy is mirrored in the softness of the distant hills, shaded in misty blues and purples that invoke the vast and mysterious Scottish landscape. This print offers a journey for the eyes, inviting the viewer to explore each element and appreciate the serene beauty of Scotland's unique flora and formidable cliffs. An art piece that not only serves as a decorative addition to any space but also a reminder of the timeless allure found within nature's own gallery.
