- [Kate Knapp: "My Eye is in Love"](https://www.createcouncil.org/all-events/kate-knapp-my-eye-is-in-love/) - In the depth of winter, the paintings of Kate Knapp, are elixirs for just about any ailment particularly those brought on by one’s light deficiencies. They are the vitamins that begin to work through the eyes but quickly heal the daylight deprived spirit. Having been trained in the Impressionist school, Knapp has used color to describe light in the last 45 years of painting with many different media. These oil on canvas works were painted en plein air over the course of the year living in the pastoral countryside of Berkshire County across the border from Hudson and her home on Block Island. Knapp has availed herself of the surrounding landscape in all its seasonal glory capturing the color and light of the changing terrain. February can be a bleak time of year but Kate Knapp’s show provides a lush Valentine’s bouquet of color, light and beauty. Flowers bloom in the sunlight. Patterns spill over the canvas. Gardens promise abundance. The show is a welcome oasis in midwinter because the delight Knapp takes in her subjects is visible in every lavish brushstroke. These paintings bring us to a new awareness of the beauty in the world around us. “I paint because I am in love with what I see.” ~ Kate Knapp
