Orca Sunrise – Print
(Please click the image to enlarge.)
This giclee will be a welcome addition to any home.
Karen Whitworth has used her passionate interpretation of light to depict this enchanting scene. Sunlight pierces through the clouds brilliantly illuminating an icy Alaskan seascape. By any other method this scene would leave the viewer feeling cold, but through her use of intense and warm colors Karen has welcomed the viewer into the warm embrace of an Alaskan sunrise. Under the icy ocean surface light dances through the depths and on the slick skin of two Orcas. The whales weave through the shafts of radiant light and around frozen bergs as they go about their day; as if this grand and brilliant sight is a daily occurrence... In Alaska, it is.

River of Fire – Kilauea Volcano Hawaii – Print

Every time I visit the Big Island of Hawaii I make it a point to visit Kilauea. This place humbles me. Such power! Words cannot describe it and even photos cannot fully capture it.

Brown on the Little Su – Print
About 15 miles North of Wasilla is one of my favorite places. Here the Little Su River serves as a gateway to Hatcher Pass and the
surrounding areas. The beauty from there on is unmatched and so diverse. Often my husband and I have stopped here for photos. Each time I am in awe. This area seems so raw and untamed.
Look closely and you can see salmon rest in the calm waters amongst the rocks as the brown bear waits patiently for one to wander into range.

Cape Kiwanda – Original Oil
8x8" Original Oil on Panel
This painting was done en plein air on the Oregon Coast. Years of wind, driving rain, and pounding surf, have created fascinating featured along the steep wall of Cape Kiwanda. Though situated immediately next to a very impressive Haystack Rock I could not convince myself to paint anything but this dynamic cape. I just the hour that I painted it, the light from the moving sun and subsequent shadows moved, changed shape, and even color. It was a thrill to paint it and am tempted to do it all over again on my next visit!

Illuminated Meadows – Original Painting
5x7 Original Oil Painting on Glacier Silt Panel.
This painting was completed near the base of Mount Hood, Oregon during the Pacific Northwest Plein Air 2012. When I arrived to this painting location I was overwhelmed with the beauty. After 15 minutes of standing in awe I finally decided on this brilliantly illuminated stand of tress juxtaposed against a beautiful alpine meadow. What a beautiful place! Big thanks go out to the fellow artists who shared their secret spot! :)
The panel that I selected to paint this on is primed with a thick layer of hand mixed gesso that includes glacier silt that I harvested from the Knik Arm a couple miles from my home in Wasilla, Alaska. The Glacier silt provides a beautiful deep grey base with a consistent, absorbent, and toothy quality for my works.
Curtain of Fire – Kiluea Volcano Print
This Kilauea fissure eruption of the Pu'u 'Ō'ō vent occurred in early 2011 on the Big Island of Hawai'i. It fascinated me how immense pressure forced the molten rock skyward only to drain into a nearby crevice. The light emitting from the lava and the resulting drama are so inspiring!

"Kamaole II Beach"
9x12 oil on panel
This Custom Framed Original is Available through Rumley Art & Frame in the King Kamehameha Hotel Kona, Hawaii (808-937-9599 | Facebook | Website | Map)
Had the wonderful opportunity to spend a day at the beach with an artist friend. We enjoyed the Maui sun and sand while we painted. So fun! On the horizon you can see Molokini Crater (World class snorkel spot) and Kahoolawe Island beyond. The dark band on the beach is where high tide and perhaps large swells from a storm had washed debris and rock onto the beach. As an artist it is fun to dissect scenes. I was mesmerized by the colors of the sand from the shadows, to the debris and then where the waves continually wiped the beach clean of footprints and blemishes. The gradients of blue to green in the ocean was also captivating!
