Artist Kenn Backhaus. A lovely surprise!
I seem to have a thing for sailboats lately… It all started with Ken Dewaard’s “Pink Sails”, which I love, love, love, and am happy to say have hanging where I see it all the time! I wasn’t familiar with Kenn Backhaus, but I have to say that I’m thrilled to have found his work! I recently featured artist Sue Stewart and noticed on her website that she had taken a workshop from him, so I thought I would check out his work, and whoa… have to say it was tough picking WHICH wonderful painting to feature! This painting is entitled “Make Ready for Tomorrow’s Voyage” and is at the Debra Huse Gallery. Check out Kenn’s website! Http://kennbackhaus.com . It’s full of wonderful information… Here’s a blip from his site:
In September of 2006 Kenn was filmed, painting up in Alaska as part of a PBS series entitled, “Plein Air, Painting the American Landscape”. For more information, please visit: www.pleinairamerica.com
Catch you back here tomorrow!
