She’s interested in exploring the concepts of memory and human connection. She was so moved by her mother’s reaction to old photos (her mother had dementia), she began using them as reference. McCool seeks to illustrate connection through nostalgic vignettes of daily life. Characterized by humor, the light-hearted renderings are created in an alla prima style with bold color. She still has both ears.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugartown Art and Antiques | Antique and Contemporary Fine Art Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45158891552815,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/9345\/6687\/files\/IMG_5472_ea3971bd-fcac-4648-9b33-21168f43d9e4.jpg?v=1774729347","url":"https:\/\/www.sugartownart.com\/products\/karen-mccool-watching-karma-take-care-of-people-who-did-me-wrong-oil-painting","provider":"Sugartown Art and Antiques | Antique and Contemporary Fine Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
