Arriving to capture the beauty of nature on a daily basis isn’t something oil painter, Tim Kenney strives for, it’s something he has been doing for years now. Kenney has major roots in Santa Fe, New Mexico and has carried an affinity for the large aspen groves just north of town. “Tim is often painting on sight in the forest and you can feel the aspen leaves shake with the power of the tree trunks in his oil paintings” - remarks

Bobby Beals. Kenney has painted large 6 foot and 7 foot canvases to express the breath of the forest and recently finished a canvas that is twelve feet high. Most often with a palette knife, Kenney uses large amounts of oil paint to carve out his subject and the combination of texture and color bring a complete vivid painting full of life.

Tim Kenney has been awarded several accolades for his landscape work including Mayfair Artist of the Year and has painted to support many charities such as the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the American Heart Association. In 2014, Kenney went on a daily adventure across the United States and painted 50 paintings in 50 states in 50 days... even Alaska and Hawaii. The culmination of this project finished in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This year, Kenney aims to paint 365 sunsets, each day. His dedication to his art form and his passion to see nature has tuned him to create a solo show of impactful selected works.

From September 23 - October 13, with a reception on September 23 from 5-7pm, Bobby Beals presents in Santa Fe at Bishop’s Lodge, Textures in Color, a solo show by Tim Kenney. Usually around this time, the aspens are changing in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Kenney hopes to inspire everyone to experience them in person. Kenney will be painting live on the property at Bishop’s Lodge days leading up to the show reception. this show is free and open to the public and is located at
