About The Artwork
"CAITLYN - HE PAINTED ME UNTIL I'M BLUE IN THE FACE!" - Her face structure immediately caught my attention. I introduced myself as a painter and asked if I could take several photos of her. If I did paint a portrait of her, I promised to send an artist's print. She agreed. Days later, I found myself as intrigued with her luxuriant hair, and realized that I wanted to paint both her face and her hair in strong foreground coloration. It was perfect opportunity to make another vivid portrait using the Expressionistic Planes-of-Light method I had been developing (by Planes-of-Light I mean using gradations of tones or tints of a single color to create strong light-play on a faces and, in this case, her luxuriant hair. And yes, in making this particular portrait I DID continually rework her face until I found that particular blue's tints and tones, combined with her hair coloring structure, best radiated the energy I felt from her overall "look". This completed artwork will be mailed, stretched, with no hardware for hanging or outer frame, but carefully wrapped in protective coverings and a box inside an outer box for added shipping protection. If preferred by the buyer, the painting can be taken off the stretcher and mailed in a tube for less expensive shipping charges but as completely protected. The painted area measures 36x36inches on high-quality, sturdy canvas, with a 1-1/2 inch visible painted sides on all four sides. The highest quality painting materials are used throughout: Golden acrylics and soft gel medium and final varnish coat.

United States
Originally from Manhattan, New York, Ken lived for several decades around the U.S. and Western Europe, always pursuing his writing and painting interests. He now lives in the Southwestern U.S. that he refers to as, "A magic land of radiant light." One Los Angeles Weekly art critic noted about Ken's paintings, "This art continually displays a vital interplay of simplified lines interwoven in vibrant complementary colors. These combinations often create an emotional energy that deftly impacts viewers." Ken's preferred artistic focus shifts mainly - but not only - between abstract and expressionistic imagery. In one interview, he stated, "Painting more than writing centers me as a person, and that keeps me awake to vital elements surrounding me. In my studio, by minimizing daily distractions, at the best of times I capture the gifts of visual energy that depict love or anger, serenity or courage, compassion and freedom, most often with hope for all people. I cannot think of a better way to share living experiences."
