"Up Next" - Memories of my father as a musician sparked this painting. He studied at Julliard in Manhattan and had a four-piece jazz band and was making a reputation but gave it up before I was born for the financial security of a steady job also offering a pension. Memories of seeing him as I was growing up and how when he heard his era's music on radios, it seemed to relax him, he seemed to appear younger, still remain vivid and moving to me. So yes, he was very much on my mind when I made this painting, wanting to capture the "feeling" of his time, his passion for that life, eager to get out on stage to perform next. An expressionist means seemed most poignant to make a portrait of that moment, to make visible something of the feel of jazz as well as the visual feel of the fogginess that memories carry. (Note: The low visual resolution that is used for internet viewing diminishes the richness of color interactions in this painting but their richness is present when viewing in person.) This completed artwork will be mailed, stretched, with no hardware for hanging or outer frame, but carefully wrapped in protective coverings and a box inside an outer box for added shipping protection. If preferred by the buyer, the painting can be taken off the stretcher and mailed in a tube for less expensive shipping charges. The painted area measures 48x24 inches, on high-quality, sturdy canvas, with a 3/4 inch visible painted side on all four sides. The highest quality painting materials are used throughout: Golden acrylics and soft gel medium and final varnish coat.

Originally from Manhattan, New York, Ken lived for several decades around the U.S. and Western Europe, always pursuing his writing and painting interests. He now lives in the Southwestern U.S. that he refers to as, "A magic land of radiant light." One Los Angeles Weekly art critic noted about Ken's paintings, "This art continually displays a vital interplay of simplified lines interwoven in vibrant complementary colors. These combinations often create an emotional energy that deftly impacts viewers." Ken's preferred artistic focus shifts mainly - but not only - between abstract and expressionistic imagery. In one interview, he stated, "Painting more than writing centers me as a person, and that keeps me awake to vital elements surrounding me. In my studio, by minimizing daily distractions, at the best of times I capture the gifts of visual energy that depict love or anger, serenity or courage, compassion and freedom, most often with hope for all people. I cannot think of a better way to share living experiences."
