Quiet ReflectionsA quiet place for meditation. Acrylic on Canvas by Karen Roop Size: 20x24 About Karen Roop I am a plein air and studio painter. My plein air sketches often inform my studio pieces. I strive to convey a sense of place in my paintings and always look for patterns of light and dark in a scene. I am a member of ArtsWayland, Concord Art and an elected member of the Academic Artists Association.

The colors and patterns as well as the script (Japanese word for cherry blossom) are reminiscent of Japanese art and design

with oil or watercolor paintings and pastel drawings

Life through flowers is particularly interesting and takes us on a special journey

I hope my paintings will speak to you too
