| Introduction | I am a reformed corporate lawyer. About ten years ago I swapped my briefcase for an easel and turned my full attention to painting. For nearly four years, I studied at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, which provides classical training in the academy tradition. As a plein air painter, my office now is an outdoor one – throughout New England, including the beautiful Maine coast, particularly the legendary and breathtaking Monhegan Island (where it has been said that you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a painter). I also enjoy painting still lifes, which lend themselves to exciting uses of color and composition. Painting changes how you see the world, particularly how light, color and atmosphere are observed. I strive to convey the essence of those elements from nature to canvas, with emotion and vitality, representational yet not literal. It’s about leaving something unsaid, so that each viewer may interpret a painting individually and uniquely. Please also visit www.kenspaintings.com Thanks. |
