August News:
For whatever the reason, color has been a focus of expresson this month. Here is a studio photo of some of the oils currently in progress. I discussed the goings on in this blog entry.
Perhaps it's the new, red striped rug that is having an influence, or the bright August skies. All inspirations are welcome and I'll happily pass them on to you.
Note my next "Making it Fine Art / Advanced Strategies" workshop coming up Sept 22-23 in my Castle Rock home. Details follow below.

Ken's work at the Denver International Airport
Should you find yourself at the Denver Airport, take the time to view my work and those of my gifted Expand artists / colleagues reproduced in the Main Terminal. You will see the images between the baggage claim areas and behind the car rental counters. This “Here to There” themed display was curated by the DIA Art and Culture Program. The airport desired more color in the main terminal spaces and happily, we were allowed to use it as our playground. Many thanks to my fellow artists and everyone that made this possible!
