Painting Demonstration
Have you ever wondered how a simple snapshot, taken on a hike with a friend many years ago, becomes a full-scale romantic painting? The photo seen here became the inspiration for “A Rose Colored Glow”, above.
Join me on Saturday, May 6th, when I will demonstrate my painting technique in a special event at the Mark Gruber Gallery in New Paltz, beginning at 5PM. This is a rare opportunity to see an artist at work. The gallery is located at 17 New Paltz Plaza, New Paltz, NY and can be reached at (845) 255-1241 for more information.
Opening Reception
Kevin is proud to announce that he will be featured at The Mark Gruber Gallery in New Paltz, NY in a two artist show. The show runs from April 8 through May 20, 2017. An opening reception will be held Saturday, April 8 at the gallery from 5-7 PM.
Kevin will have more than twenty new paintings on display, showing his signature romantic skies and Hudson Valley scenery. A prime example is “In Wild Country”, seen above.
Hope to see you there!

The Cozy Season
Winter is the season for quiet reflection and rejuvenation. Even as it comes to an end, there is the desire for one more day of hot tea, an engaging read, and time to collect one’s thoughts. Kevin often finds winter to be his most creative time of the year. Here is a detail of his recent painting, “The Artist’s Parlor”, suggesting the cozy introspection of the season.
As Seen On TV
This winter you can see Kevin’s paintings adorning the sets of two premium cable television shows. Look for them in the first season finale of HBO’s Divorce, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church. In addition, two of Kevin’s paintings (including “Rolling Hills Of Home”, above) adorn the dining room of character Chuck Rhoades, Sr on season two of Showtime’s Billions, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis. Happy viewing!
Paintings At Mohonk
It’s gouache season! I have fourteen new gouache paintings on display at Mohonk Mountain House through the month of September. This annual exhibit is in the rustic Barn Museum and features views of the Shawangunks. Gouache paint is an opaque form of watercolor used by designers and illustrators. These paintings are inspired by early twentieth century children’s book illustrations and by antique hand colored postcards.
If you’re going to be spending a day at Mohonk, be sure and stop by!
Artists On Huguenot Street
Join me on Huguenot Street in New Paltz for the Fourth Annual Artists On Huguenot Street event, being held on Saturday, August 13, 2016 from 10AM-4PM. The event is held rain or shine.
I will be hosting an Open Studio featuring many paintings, plein air sketches, prints and more.
You can also visit while I create a new painting before your eyes. Hope to see you there.
