Shell-ebration!Beach finds! Acrylic on Canvas by Karen Roop Size: 10x10 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, SAGA of Stow and an elected member of the Academic Artists Association.

A Painted Turtle suns itself on a log with reflected clouds in the water

how we view others and how others view us

It is framed in a gold metal frame to add to the warmth
