Home >> Nostalgic Artist Prints by Kevin Walsh
faithfully recapturing the
warmth and atmosphere of times gone by
Born in Castleford, in the heart of the industrial
West Riding of Yorkshire, Kevin Walsh is proud to hail from
the town which produced the world-famous sculpter Henry
Moore. After studying illustration at the Wakefield College
of Art, Kevin developed an early reputation, initially for
his aircraft paintings. In recent years, he has become increasingly
known for a much wider variety of subjects. Landscapes,
city life and transport in bygone days now figure prominently
among his works. He travels many miles to research his paintings
and spends countless hours sketching, before committing
the final composition to canvas. Accurate technical and
historical detail, combined with an ability to capture the
warmth and atmosphere of his subject, are the hallmarks
of this remarkably accomplished artist. Kevin's original
oil paintings are represented in many important collections
worldwide. Among his collectors are Jack Charlton, Tony
Dorigo, and ex-Defence Minister Lord Mason. |
