"I see color where there is no color."

Artist Tim Kenney is noted for his thickly textured and colorful oil paintings.  His easily recognizable impressionistic style lends itself to his favored subjects of Aspens, Flowers, Sunsets and Landscapes.

A 16 Year career

Tim Kenney has been painting oil on canvas for 16 years, starting when he was 52 years old.  Prior to 2007, he had never completed a painting.  Even with the success he has already achieved, his art continues to evolve through painting studies with Carol Armstrong of Norman, Oklahoma.

Capturing the Feeling

Tim’s ideas for paintings come from life.   His unique use of color is the one thing he hears most people comment on when looking at his art.  Surprisingly Tim often tells people that he is painting color even when none existed in the original scene.   While painting trees, flowers, skies or valleys it can be the color that draws him, but even more often it’s the feeling he has when he views a scene that influences his painting.  Ultimately, these impressions dictate the colors he uses in the final artwork.

 

50 Paintings in 50 States in 50 days

In 2014 Tim embarked on a trip with the successful goal of creating 50 paintings – in 50 states – in 50 days, traveling throughout the continental United States, Hawaii and Alaska.  He donated 20% of all proceeds to Parkinson’s research.    

He once again donated 20% of proceeds in 2017 from 77 paintings on a journey to all 77 Oklahoma counties in 77 days. 

Tim's Free Time

Tim’s father taught him to fly fish when he was young.  He’s been doing that amid Aspen trees in New Mexico and Colorado his whole life and continues to do so.
