Colors of the Day

Pennan, Scotland, is a quaint fishing village perched on the very edge of the North Sea. A sleepy little town, it is the home for a handful of people. On its beach, Karsten finds fresh, contrasting colors in the lazy line of rowboats basking in the midday sun. Oil on canvas 16" x 20".

Feathered Fireman's Helmet

From a friend's collection of European firefighting memorabilia, Karsten has created this bright and shiny historical still life.  The composition includes a beautiful brass helmet and flashy bugle with colorful tassels set on a decorated banner.

Lively Still Life

To create this elegant watercolor, Karsten placed a tall Chinese vase against delicate, pink blossoms. Then he added the radiant yellow lemons and gently set the display in the folds of a colorful fabric. 20" x 14". Gold frame with triple mats--white, brown and gold accent. $ 980
