Atlantic Nocturne

Atlantic Nocturne, 8x8", oil on canvas
2009 Karen F. Rose
For the past six months I have been studying,

observing and reading about tonalism.

This style of painting is serene, emotional

and even spiritual, capturing the mood of dawn,

twilight and moonlit scenes.

A move in this direction as a painter is going back to a way

that I painted years ago, using glazes to create a luminous

quality to the painting.
