Summer Rituals: While painting these scenes, I try to capture the figures and subjects accurately, but my favorite part is playing with my abstract impression of them. I want my brush strokes, marks and colors to be just as reflective of the lifestyle we love so much up here as the scene itself. Laid back, playful, creative, nostalgic… I want my marks to somehow communicate “on the weekends we wake up slow, let the dog run on the beach, and maybe jump in the lake too.” I hope you find a piece symbolic of one of your favorite summer rituals.

Medium: Acrylic, gouache, graphite and wax pastel on premium, cotton watercolor paper.

Details: Each piece has been sprayed with a fixative. They are 11x14” with a half inch white border with hand deckled edges, allowing for title and artist signature.

Framing suggestion: This piece would be stunning floated over a mat (an off-white would be my choice) framed behind glass with a frame that matches your home. Consider having your artwork framed locally. Send your framing questions to hello@katherinecorden.com.

Shipping: Please allow up to 7 days for paintings to ship out of my studio. You will be provided with a tracking number upon shipment. Review my shipping policies here.
