DVD - A Vision of Venice in Oils

In this most recent film, Ken once again is inspired by the light, architecture and atmosphere of Venice, this time to paint in oils. We see him painting three views of the Salute, showing the difference in tonal values as the light changes from early morning "contre jour" to late afternoon. He also paints San Giorgio Maggiore, a view looking up the Grand Canal in the evening light and a view of a back canal on a quiet Sunday morning.

Ken is a past president of the New English Art Club and a member of all the major art societies. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions worldwide and his paintings are in many public collections.
