Bacchanalia II

Paul Kellett — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:48:52 GMT

In 2007 I was asked to paint another barrel for the University Children's Foundation, after my first barrel was purchased by the former Miss Minnesota (and then Miss USA 1989) Gretchen Carlson. Evidently the buyer's credentials provided me with some sort of "cache" or pedigree. In any case, I was invited back, and my encore was painted with considerably more freedom than the previous years' barrel. Yet I was still involved with copper and copper relief, which I used on the top of the barrel.

Bacchanalia

Paul Kellett — Sat, 08 Apr 2006 23:01:44 GMT

This is a vintage california (red) wine barrel that I painted and crafted for a charity fundraiser for the Childrens Foundation of the University of Minnesota Hospital. The theme is an abstract frieze composed of embossed copper shapes around the center of the barrel, with abstracted floral designs in paint, metallic paint and copper around the top and bottom. The inside has been opened, painted, lit and forms of my design emplaced within to create a space to hold wine glasses, wine bottles and accoutrement.

Landscape

I don't consider myself to be a landscape painter, but there is really nothing better than to be outdoors with an easel and some paint and some red wine! I should be outside painting more often.

Botanical

Paul Kellett — Fri, 04 Feb 2005 23:58:50 GMT

Painting vegetation and flowers can be very satisfying. I find that their curvilinear forms have a very soothing effect, and their aromas evoke a wide range of emotion and memory. Flowers call out to us to pay attention to them. I tend to respond to their demand, often with paint.Their beauty is never wasted on me.
