I have had a propensity in the past to paint summer scenes during the winter and vice versa. This winter I seem inspired to paint the winter around me. Here is a new one. Ken
In my last blog I mentioned my acceptance to exhibit at the Wisconsin Arts Board in Madison Wisconsin. I have since been notified that a number of my paintings have been posted to www.portalwisconsin.org. For a period you can see them under recent artists or by searching the site using my name.
I apologize for the gap in my Blog entries but here is an announcement: I have been notified by the Wisconsin Arts Board that I have been selected to exhibit utilizing 55 linear feet of wall space at their Madison building. The exhibit will not be until 2010 but I need every bit of that time to assemble a collection of my very best paintings. As for the gap in blog entries, one of the main reasons has been computer difficulties which have taxed both brain and energy. A new motherboard installation seemed like the way to go but now I realize for the small difference in cost I should have gone to Wal Mart and purchased a new computer. Fortunately all digital images survived. Now that the Christmas and New Years holidays are past I can get back to some serious (well not too serious) painting and I hope you will come to this site frequently as I promise to do better - a New Years Resolution? I will try! Ken
I'm an old fart (pardon me, senior citizen) who spends most of the time painting or trout fishing. Trout fishing takes me into some beautiful places, especially here in northeast Wisconsin, and I often think that next time I'll bring my paints and leave the fly rod at home, but then I realize I can paint at home but I can't catch trout there. You can find out more about my painting philosophy, background, etc. @ www.kenmarsden.com.
