Reconciliation

“The Dance”
Oil/acrylic/canvas, 12″x36″

The Report called on the Maple Leaves to dance with the Feathers. Once committed, the Leaves were astounded by the swirling momentum, the accomplishments and just how much they learned from the Feathers.

The third painting in my quest to tune in and catch up – Truth and Reconciliation Series. Suggesting full collaboration, careful listening, open respect, acting as one.

About the artist

Ken lives on the edge of Algonquin Park in Canada. His studio and outdoor ‘Gallery at High Falls’ is just west of Bancroft, looks over the Falls and is featured on the Bancroft and Area Studio Tour. He has a winter home just north of the Mexican border in Arizona and a wanderlust that takes him into nature and the wilderness by motorcycle, boat, or RV for several months every year.

Ken’s solo shows have been hosted in Bracebridge (Annex/Let the Cat Go Fine Art Gallery), Maynooth (Wildewood Gallery) and Bancroft (Art Gallery of Bancroft). His art can be seen at any time at A Place for the Arts in Bancroft. Ken is Chair of A Place for the Arts and sits on the Board of the Algonquin Arts Council.

He has been painting for over 45 years, is self-taught, guided by a few mentors and many professionals who have willingly shared their talent and time. Ken has a Ph.D. in geography/planning and has enjoyed an eclectic career as academic, manager, futurist and consultant.
