We are pleased to bring you the original oils of American painter, Patrick Kitson. His super real landscapes and seascapes are a testament to his artistic philosophy... “My paintings are a record of my experiences and ideas, an expression of heart and personal truth..."
"...I approach my palette similarly, utilizing only 7 basic colors. I keep the use of these colors very simple, focusing on tonal gradations and values of hues, keeping the introduction of new colors to a minimum..."
"...I find this keeps a harmony in my paintings, giving landscape a tranquil, naturalistic effect. Exploring the subtle gradations in nature, with a limited palette, also helps in the illusion of a natural three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface..."
"...My paintings are inspired from the beauty of the world itself, and depending on the size, each will take anywhere from two weeks to three months to complete...”
"...Researching new paintings is a daily process for me, constant and unconscious. I keep a sketchbook and camera with me at all times. The driving force behind my work is very personal..."
"...My hope is to draw viewers to the experience and move them to walk through the painting, realizing the majesty and divinity of the natural world..." A major influence on Kitson’s work for the past few years has been the Hudson River School and the Luminist painters who followed. John Frederick Kensett, Frederic Edwin Church and Albert Bierstadt all contributed to the direction Kitson’s work has taken. The Hudson River School’s tradition was founded on the spiritual ideals of painter Thomas Cole with regard to the harmony between humans and nature…that nature is noble, a refuge both spiritually and physically.
