Coming Up RosesA fenced yard is festooned with roses. Acrylic on Canvas by Karen Roop Size: 16x20 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, Stow Area Guild of Artists (SAGA) and an elected member of the Academic Artists Association.

I use a rich color palette and a variety of materials —polymer clay and glass tiles

The market was alive with bargaining

sacrificing his own freedom and time with his wife and newly born son

and love to use color

the poppies in this work symbolize both remembrance and renewal

and offices

His signature piece was “Einstein on the Beach” which brought him attention in New York

Size: 6x6 print only

I have become intrigued with collage and monotype printing using a gelli plate
