# 25 Kimberly Conrad

"Days of Summer"

Acrylic on Canvas


After reading her artist statement and learning about her technique of painting I was interested to see how her technique would show in her paintings. I was drawn to this one initially because I could definitely feel the movement in this painting. I especially love the detail and texture in the sky of this scene. You can get a really good sense of the movement that she had to do with her body to make to clouds seem as fluffy as they seem. I really like the detail in the sand too, her choice of colors to create the depth work really well. This painting definitely makes me want to take a trip to the beach.


Kimberly is a contemporary landscape artist. She is fascinated by color so she likes to make paintings with bright colors. Kimberly is a full time artist who devotes most of her time painting and teaching in her Colorado studio. She has painted on every surface imaginable but she primarily paints on canvas, paper and board. She has a diverse style and she says that she has the heart of an Abstract Expressionist or even an Action Expressionist. She is an action painter. She has a unique way of applying paint to her paintings especially for her landscapes, seascapes and aspens. Kimberly like to pour her paint, and manipulate it with water and body movement.
