Hi Folks,

I've just had an email from the Director of Saatchi, Rebecca Wilson, informing me that she's selected another of my paintings for their latest collection.  The artwork "The Fallen" is the sixth piece to be selected for Saatchi collections. Its an abstract oil painting on canvas measuring 40 x 40 x 1.5" . It was painted  in predominantly warm tones of browns, yellows, golds and touch of blue with an initial light underpainting and finished with bold palette knife strikes.

Abstract Paintings on Canvas by Artist Simon Kenny

Hi Folks.

I've just completed a large abstract oil painting on canvas called " Oblivion" which is now listed on my website http://simonkenny.artweb.com . The painting measures 60 x 48", its texutred, richly coloured and themed around an apocalyptic event. I love painting these moody, dramatic abstracts as I feel I can pour out my thoughts on canvas then visualise them in reality.Its always facinating to hear what others see in each painting and I'm amazed by how diverse those opinions can be.

I'm currently working on another smaller oil painting measuring 40" x 30" which should be completed towards the end of this week and I have two colour burst pieces which I'm aiming to have finished shortly after.

Available via my website.

To make my paintings more accessible I have a new purchase option available which may be of interest. I understand as prices increase some of the expensive art works may become out of reach to those with limited budgets so I'm trying to offer a solution which may be of some use.

 PAYMENT BY INSTALLMENTS.

Simon Kennys Abstract Paintings

Hi Folks,

I've just listed a number of new abstract paintings on my Artweb site, http://simonkenny.artweb.com .

The last of the four paintings " Now and Forever" was created using oil and acrylic paint on a large 40 x 40" stretched canvas. The piece is heavily textured over a light underpainting. I built the colour up to required tones lightly brushing out the edges to achieve the soft cloud like detailt then finished with a little impasto work to give a strong punchy focal point .

Altered State, created on a 72" x 24" stretched canvas was also painted using oil and acrylic, Salvator and Cygnus are both soley oil paint. I rarely paint on small canvases like the two 36 x 24" pieces and I found it quite challenge not having the freedom such large canvaes offer. That said I was really pleased with the outcome of the two abstract paintings so I'll be creating similar size pieces in the near future.

All four paintings are currently available for sale and I've attached images below with relevant details. If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate in contacting me at simonkenny@eskayfineart.co.uk
