 Ken says about his work: "I simply want to achieve the ultimate communication on the canvas-to say more with less." Whether painting a street scene, a freeway,an urban restaurant or coastal panorama, his deft use of color and ecomony of brush strokes create simple, yet beautiful structured compositions. Each painting captures a moment in time charged with a hint of narrative drama.Ken's passion for painting allows us to share in his stories on canvas-simply and effectively, documenting the ordinary in an extraordinary manner.

Ken says about this piece:

Jack "the Manassa Mauler" Dempsey held the world heavy-weight boxing title between 1919 and 1926.Depicted here, a lone bartender pours out a drink before a mural of George Bellows' 1909 painting Stag at Sharkey's.The dynamic scene in the mural provides a contrast to the calm actions of the bartender in the foreground.
