About Kenneth Halvorsen

I paint because I must. When I see how the light strikes a particular scene for a brief moment in time, I know, I simply need to paint it. My plein air paintings of landscapes are known for their brilliant colors, extensive texture and fluid motion. I truly enjoy and get inspired by the real beauty of the great outdoors. I am delighted to joint the wonderful Artfinder community of collectors that are focused on discovering the original works! As an artist, I believe that my creative force and points of artistic inspiration are a subconscious culmination of the myriad of events, some good, some less so, that life has, thus far, presented me with. I express love and emotion in my art and hope that these sentiments are present to you when you view my artwork. All my paintings are original oil on canvas or panel executed with attention to detail, a swathe of palette knife strokes and brushwork, textured in thick oil. This style that I called Spontaneous Texturism is intended to surprise any art lover and create the feeling of serenity and joy. I hope my viewers to experience a sudden connection with my paintings that they never had before and feel a distinct appreciation for the higher quality fine art.
