ANOTHER PRETTY ONE . . .

SEVENTH PIECE

Before each Gatherings, I have been hanging a different

painting to see what looks best in my den - then posting pics for all my Gatherings Girls and Social Family to comment on. So please take time scroll down to compare past pieces and to vote on your favorite. I am having a blast just trying out all the different pieces and learning about all these exceptionally gifted artists. Let me introduce you to the next artist in this little experiment of mine.

SEVENTH PIECE | by KENT WALSH

"My art world began when I was five years old - my grandmother gave me my first set of oils. That started my love of paint.

I do not focus on one particular style or subject. I paint and draw abstracts, still lives, figures, and landscapes - all are based on a solid knowledge of art concepts learned in various schools and classes. I continue to learn by pushing myself to knock down boundaries. My work is always changing as I refuse to plagiarize myself.

Whether I start with an automatic drawing, a color wash, a grid, or merely an impulse; each work has its own history of building up and tearing down - painted on and scratched away. I continue this process until the piece proves its merit due to its unique existentialism. These paintings manifest my emotional reaction to beauty and disaster; love and detachment; nature and architecture. Each piece is a fresh new love from my soul." -

Kent Walsh of Point Clear, Alabama.

This piece can be purchased from VIEW GALLERY in Jackson.
