I am an avid hiker and explorer of gardens, capturing images with my camera. Then I bring these images to life with a new infusion of color, mood and texture. I work with acrylics on a variety of supports, often including textural elements.
I am member of several art associations, and show regularly around Calgary.Karen Makowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701121173245186811noreply@blogger.comBlogger281100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918743161509274475.post-14347186105533699222011-10-18T08:31:00.001-07:002011-10-18T08:31:55.044-07:00Last Show of 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cFABb-sEKZ4/Tp2b2tSroHI/AAAAAAAAATc/FwtDpj_XfZo/s1600/art-horizons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cFABb-sEKZ4/Tp2b2tSroHI/AAAAAAAAATc/FwtDpj_XfZo/s320/art-horizons.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2918743161509274475-1434718610553369922?l=artbykarenmakowski.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Makowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701121173245186811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918743161509274475.post-31709197671836391952011-10-13T12:33:00.000-07:002011-10-13T12:33:31.431-07:00Soul Stroll<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0u-b3Yr1Xg8/Tpc8rgwX_PI/AAAAAAAAATE/Mhtu2AwMxLw/s1600/Soul-Stroll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0u-b3Yr1Xg8/Tpc8rgwX_PI/AAAAAAAAATE/Mhtu2AwMxLw/s320/Soul-Stroll.jpg" width="314" /></a></div> "Soul Stroll" 16x16 Gallery Canvas<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2918743161509274475-3170919767183639195?l=artbykarenmakowski.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Makowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701121173245186811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918743161509274475.post-19519471039498834312011-10-13T12:30:00.000-07:002011-10-13T12:30:53.616-07:00Beached Parking<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLVT5gw4Y8c/Tpc7sz3Y0pI/AAAAAAAAAS8/9BpvGVjA4jw/s1600/Beached-Parking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLVT5gw4Y8c/Tpc7sz3Y0pI/AAAAAAAAAS8/9BpvGVjA4jw/s320/Beached-Parking.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> "Beached Parking" 12x16 Gallery Canvas</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2918743161509274475-1951947103949883431?l=artbykarenmakowski.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Makowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701121173245186811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918743161509274475.post-64013984262421082792011-08-21T16:01:00.000-07:002011-08-21T16:01:35.291-07:00Poppy Party<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Thanks for dropping by. I am Karen Makowski, an artist from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.<br />I am an avid hiker and explorer of gardens, capturing images with my camera. Then I bring these images to life with a new infusion of color, mood and texture. I work with acrylics on a variety of supports, often including textural elements.<br /><br />I am member of several art associations, and show regularly around Calgary.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2918743161509274475-8167461548891779377?l=artbykarenmakowski.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Makowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701121173245186811noreply@blogger.com0
