Welcome to the Online Art Gallery of Karen Kennedy
Finding inspiration for a new painting is never difficult for me. The problem is finding enough time to paint all of them. Sometimes the inspiration comes when I see a special lighting or it could be a person I see experiencing something special in their own life. I am fortunate to live in a place where I can study and paint animals in their natural environment. When I travel I am delighted with the exciting new scenery and by the people I meet. My camera and sketchbook fill up quickly. Always, it is my emotional response to these things in my life that challenges me to create a piece of art. It gives me great satisfaction to share these emotions on canvas.

"A NEW BEGINNING" Karen Kennedy
"A NEW BEGINNING" is a 30" X 40" oil painting on canvas. I was entranced when I saw this doe and fawn outside my studio window one morning. Luckily my husband was with me and grabbed the camera to get a picture before they noticed us and bolted away. Though the photo had some distortion from the glare on the window; the photo was very helpful to me in defining the complicated interaction of the doe and fawn.
