Art Blog Preview: Karen Jacobs
There are many wonderful art blogs out there with insightful or provocative words and exciting images of art. As I discover them, I’m going to preview them here. First, is abstract artist Karen Jacobs at http://kajac2000.blogspot.com/. Karen is working on a series of Bokusho paintings. Bokusho means abstract sumi-e, she says. Sumi-e is wash painting with the black ink that is used in East Asian calligraphy.
Karen recently came back from a French art residency at Cat'Art in the south of France. Karen’s work has always felt contemplative and zen-like to me, with a strong sense of color and composition. Some of her work also has the feel of an abstract landscape. You can see more of Karen’s work on her website at karenjacobs.com.
