KENNETH TEMPLETON
Artist Statement

As a realist painter, I am attracted to the places where we live, work and play. A small town perhaps, maybe a rural outpost… Lately, vibrant cities have fascinated me.

I use photographs as an outline or a stepping off point in my work. My photographs are rather amateurish or shot with an iPhone, which allows for more interpretation.

The most enjoyable aspect of this process is the search for reference material. My wife and I are the quintessential Saturday and Sunday drivers in our quest for images. Questions and observations abound as we travel this wonderful country of ours.

I choose to work in small format as this expedites the process. At night, I sketch them out while relaxing at home. During the day, they come alive as I apply paint, working in two to three layers.
