“Peace, Pine Island” was born from the artist's solo adventure on a relatively abandoned island in the aftermath of a major tropical storm in the community of Pine Island, Florida. On this day, with her easel set up, the artist weathered two downpours intense enough to set off running to the car with canvas in hand.
Find respite within the shaded mangroves - nature's healing embrace and protection. This canvas:
• Painted in open air on location in Pine Island, Florida by master artist Kathleen Sienna Kelly
• Celebrates the protective embrace of the mangrove ecosystem
• Represents the character of an artist who does not allow storms of life to inhibit successful outcomes
• Demonstrates the master artists’ wherewithal to collaborate “with the rain as a step in her process." The painting has a mysterious quality resulting from the "rain washed effect"  intentionally kept and refined by the artist' vision and brush.
"Peace, Pine Island" is one of my celebrated life experiences...
an adventure turned into beauty! This painting contains my recipe for a great life -
"planned spontaneity, creativity, resilience, and tenacity."  KSK
