Kent says, “I might not be quoting this right but somewhere along the line someone said that 'art is like a mini-vacation'.  When I get into starting and working on a painting I can lose myself and the stress of life has to find a new home during my art session.

I enjoy how lines, shapes, colors and text combine to make my eyes move around the piece of work. I hope your eyes move around also. If they do, I have accomplished one of my goals. I also love that a combination of colors can make a piece of work or section of that work jump out at you and grab your eyes. Different combinations of color also make me smile and I hope the colors also make you smile and happy.  I believe different color combinations solicit different feeling with each person.

Until recently I was pretty much stick in the mud and just used oil paint with mediums such as linseed oil. I was becoming bored and afraid to make a mistake. In 2010 I had a life changing experience and decided to just enjoy creating art. I am getting more adventures now trying new techniques and mediums.  I am having a blast and have come to the realization if a painting does not work, but maybe I have discovered something new or find out what doesn’t work.

I hope each piece of work has more appeal than the last one. If this it doesn’t happen I still succeeding to create better art in the future. I am also still on my mini-vacation and enjoying life.  I hope when you see my art you join me on your mini-vacation for a few seconds also."
