It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. Where does the time go? 

This painting Peace Beyond the Blue recently sold at Village Arts Framing and Gallery located in Sawgrass Village in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl. This is a boutique gallery and expert framing business with over 35 years in the art business. Some clients call it the "Best kept art secret in Ponte Vedra Beach". Pam, the owner, is always very friendly and helpful in selecting just the right frame for your art.

I have several pieces of my original oil paintings there on exhibit. Hope you'll stop by and say hi. Tell them I sent you!

Whispered Nocturne
Karen F. Rose
SOLD

Standing on the beach looking at the Atlantic ocean from a Florida shore you'll feel an amazing quiet that envelopes you. The sun setting in the west lightly paints the faintest colors in eastern sky.
The noise of the day fades and there is just the whispered night.
Whispered Nocturne is part of atmospheric abstracts that I have been pursuing in my new studio.

You are invited to The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach's Celebrate Art 2017 to see this Whispered Nocturne, Eventide and In Stillness.  And art by 30 other amazingly talented artists. The exhibit runs from Jan 12, 2017 to February 18, 2017. The Cultural Center is open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. Sat 10 to 4. After hour appointments are available and their phone number is 904 280 0614. The Center is located at 50 Executive Way just off A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

If you're making your visit a day trip, there are several restaurants at the newly renovated Sawgrass Village shopping center to choose from Trasca & Co Eatery, Nona Blue, Metro Diner, Aqua Grill  Caffee Andiamo. 

The Village Arts Framing Gallery (next to Trasca & Co Eatery) also has an exhibit of my paintings. This delightful shop and gallery between Hilton Garden Inn and Chico's is the "Best Little Frame Shop in PVB for over 20 years".
Please leave me a comment if you have questions. I'd love to help you make your visit most art filled and enjoyable.

Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach Celebrate Art 2017 Opening Reception

Eventide

Available 

Eventide is one of my three paintings accepted into The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach's juried member art show.  The opening reception for the exhibit is Thursday, January 12, 2017 from 6 to 8 pm. The Celebrate Arts 2017 Exhibition runs through February 18th.

I'm truly honored that juror Steve Williams from the Florida Mining Gallery chose my work for the exhibit.

2016 has been eventful and for some a stressful year.  Eventide, In Stillness and Twilight Nocturne are atmospheric abstract paintings of peace and comfort.

Often at dawn or twilight I walk the beach and those moments of calm and peace are reflected in these paintings. If you attend the exhibit, I hope you'll send me a note and let me know if they resonate with you.

Wecome 2017! 
Just delivered 11 original oil and pastel paintings to this charming gallery in the heart of Sawgrass Village in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
Village Arts Framing Gallery is just a driver and a three wood from TPC Sawgrass.  
Well that might be a bit of golfer exaggeration, but Sawgrass Village has just been newly renovated and you'll want to plan a visit.  Chicos,Trasca Eatery and Hilton Garden Inn are right next door to the gallery. The Marriott Sawgrass is just across the street.

The  Village Arts Framing Gallery offers full framing services and couldn't be friendlier. Local art is featured and owner Pamela Keegan will help you find the perfect frame.

How will you spend this shortest day of the year?  

Today across the sea in Ireland at Newgrange a special group of people will be allowed to view the sunrise in this 5000 year old monument. A passage and chamber are perfectly aligned with the rising of the sun on the Winter Solstice. 
Why it was constructed is still a mystery. To read more about the site visit www.newgrange.com.

Today here in Florida on the first day of winter it is gray and cold.  
I'll be in my #artstudiobytheocean, painting, cleaning and rearranging.

Update - In 2017 my oil and pastel paintings are now offered through

The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach has partnered with the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, a multipurpose performing arts facility, to offer the Cultural Center Annex Gallery, an exhibition space dedicated to featuring the Cultural Center’s talented Artist Members through solo exhibitions of their work.  The new gallery provides the unique opportunity for concert attendees to view and purchase local art.  One goal of the Cultural Center is to encourage and promote artistic growth and professional development, and to create a forum for the arts within Northeast Florida.  With help from accomplished arts venues like the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, the Cultural Center is able to expand the vision of local artists by providing another opportunity to promote and sell their works.  This marriage between the visual arts and the performing arts will create a more vibrant atmosphere for those who attend the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, which is host to amazing performances by well-known artists.

 All works exhibited are for sale and  can be viewed during regular business hours, or during events and performances at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall.
