Alrighty so Ive identified areas in which I need to improve on and my major area is environments... so expect a lot from now on! Heres a rough one I did tonight. Its ok, but as soon as I start thinking about more dynamic viewpoints etc I come out in a cold sweat... and colour still aint natural to me yet...
Ah well, practice makes perfect!
If I dont post before new year, happy 2011 everyone! Best wishes for the year ahead. Looking forward to another year of blogging, and thanks once again everyone who spends time dropping by and checking out my work. Its always appreciated.
To the future!
Ken :D

B-E-A Utiful!
I want to go there!
Depth, Colour, Composition (Even the birds are directing my eye!)......
When I grow up, I wanna paint just like Kenny! Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution :)

You too happy new year! And the painting is awesome, look forward to seeing more environments from you!
Muito bacana, parabéns!

best to you and yours in 2011!
dunno about you but that's a pretty awesome env't, man. haha

Happy New year Ken!! To me, this seems perfect!! But you are your best critic and you know what you want so can´t wait to see what you do next, man! :)
You're braver than I my friend. I avoid environments at all costs. Keep it up!
You are just on the right track buddy,
Try thumbnails and then move into larger scale and finally into digital. Trust me, I still dont know backgrounds...but I always try to push myself :)
Seeing you try here, makes me wanna do more stuffs :)
Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Yo kenny! dude what ya talking about! your the king of environments :) you always create so much depth.
i'm good. not touch the film since October, partizan was to busy. but were going back in on the 10th to finish off that sucker.
Hey man, the only thing I can suggest is you create a bit more contrast between elements.
Kind of done it with the foreground grass blades, maybe more white in the sky and the chinese thing darker and its shadow. Also, I'd probably add a few more dark spots where the forest meets the lake.
Not that I'm an expert, but contrast is always a problem with colour. Might be worth doing a painting directly from a photo...?
Anyway, hope you're good man, keep at it.
Nice atmosphere created here :)
This looks great :) I think you're well on your way to becoming an awesome environment artist.
gorgeous work Ken!! it's so peaceful to look at and the colors you chose are very serene. I'm with DrawDoll, you're well on your way!!
Happy New Year to you too, I look forward to more of your art! :D
Really nice atmosphere you've captured here Ken.
Cool Paint!!
very deep, awesome.
See you
Nice foreground element that leads our eye into the center of the canvas, and great atmosphere. Wow!

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
There's much in the world that you can't explain.
It's revealed for you to remember
by the whispering voice of a distant train
or a midnight rain in november.
Horizon within! You can always find
the keys to Enigma. Let's mention
one basic Truth: of spirited Mind
Is Nature naught but extension.
Internal expanses! In dreams, ridden
by fear and longing you roam
that deep Southeast in your soul hidden
...on your random journey back home.
Single Swingle

Casualidad sopla la sangre
de alguno señor desconocido
durante los pocos restantes
momentos del resplandor de faroles
que se vislumbran tras el follaje
flameando de las obsesiónes
igual efimero como gotas
del cinzano de la soledad –
En aquel tiempo me levanta
dentro uno incidente avejentado
que en seguida palidece
al camouflaje de abstraccion;
chica, nadie conoce que tus grisos
ojos significan aún; con todo
el sueño que hube evacuado
tu escudriñas nuevamente.
My Spanish poetry!

LE FRUIT DU CIEL
Un orage nocturne illmuna maintenant l'Amazonie, franchis les Andes, envoya des jeux de cartes gigantesques et frappantes en bas à la Pampa –
Puis: petit déjeuner à melon; café fumant !
À la bague du cigare tu lis, étonné: GÉOGRAPHIE.

Das Leben dergleichen Halbfaßung
der Welt wahr immer nicht wahr,
nicht wahr? Die fristlos Entlaßung
am Ende wird kaum wunderbar.
So laßen uns Menschlingen viele
besonders besonnene zum
Zeitweilegem Zeiten als Ziele
des Lebens halbfaßen darum.

Time travel is by up to date confused "expertise" considered logically impossible albeit physically allowed for by Einstein's equations, as Gödel pointed out. Strange fallacy! The Guy travelling "backwards" in his time machine immediately goes into "hypertime", so to speak, and what was "time" is simply one more spatial dimension. No logical problem whatever; I utterly fail to see, even, how this awful misconception could persist for about a century. OK, on return he happened to crash into my poor would be dad, so what? This calamity occurring somewhere in Universe imperceivable to me, the Flatlander. Etc. Do you follow? You should.
