First Heart Flutter (Birds & Butterfly) By Karen Mason

Karen Mason expresses a unique contemporary flair in her botanical and bird paintings through the combination of bold lines and luminous atmosphere. The translucent atmospheric effect Mason achieves in her oil and resin/acrylic paintings is influenced by her earlier study of watercolor washes and glazing techniques in painting Italian and California landscapes. Karen's quirky and charming birds are a favorite subject at ACCI, and this painting is one of a series of sweet little birds and a butterfly. The painting is mixed media acrylic, watercolor, ink, graphite and resin on a cradled board. The piece measures 7"x7" framed.
