Altered Reality by artist Kevin O'Connell (Digital Abstract Painting on Canvas) Artist Kevin O'Connell describes himself as a passionate artist with an eclectic flare. He is known for creating digital abstract paintings that are visually striking. Additionally, Kevin has garnered renown for his fine art photography. The experimental spirit of his practice is truly inspiring. Route 66 Barn by artist Kevin O'Connell (Fine Art Photography on Canvas) Kevin has offered some thoughts about his fine art photography, saying, "In the early days, most of my work was comprised of portraits and people, but in 2000 I wanted to try many different traditional techniques from an era long ago. I guess that is why I still use film. I just love to use a conceptual design process, and think of a special technique that would fit the end result." Concerning his digital abstract paintings, Kevin stated, "I love dark, bold colors- and creating abstract paintings that reflect emotion and mystery. Each one of these abstract paintings have meaning to them, weather a feeling at the time or from things happing around the world." Art critic Brian Sherwin, Editor of The Art Edge, commented on artist Kevin O'Connell's work, remarking, "Kevin O'Connell has a talent for capturing the abstract qualities of nature. Be it a hauntingly atmospheric rural scene... or the primal energy of a national park -- O'Connell delivers a surrealistic visual feast. His work is clearly thought-provoking."

CUSTOM ART FOR QUALITY KITCHENS

Don't you think your kitchen deserves a quality piece if designer art. After all its the most expensive room in the house, and usually one of the only room in the house without any art. 

I have designed a new series of specialty artwork made especially for upscale kitchens. These pieces can be custom made with your color specifications and ideas, or you can pick from one of my finished pieces. 

The metal design above was designed for a home that has lots of blue glass ornaments, and metal accents on a white backdrop. 

 

This next type of design is being made for another very modern kitchen with accents of copper and cool metal architecture.

Purple Rain Edition

 This newest edition is for in the series can be changed with different colors, background image and your name or saying, instead of welcome.

Surreal Edition

 These are all metal designs and printed on metal to make the colors and design really pop and make a wonderful conversation piece to add in your kitchen.
