Venice MorningGondolas await their passengers in Venice. Acrylic on Canvas by Karen Roop Size: 16x19 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.

summer 2025

and emotions

Witnessing the transformation as chicks branch out

I work in collage

A fleeting glance at the Icelandic poppy and her color and form
