Oil Painting Landscape Norman Kelly Saskatchewan Pool Prairie Elevator Oil on Canvas Train Canada Canadian Western Art Original

On offer artist signed Norman Kelly (1939- ), oil on board depicting a classic prairie scene. The painting perfectly captures the stillness and quiet beauty of the prairie.

Prairie elevators are fast disappearing from the North American landscape. Stunning realist style of painting throughout, reminiscent of Edward Hopper.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Norman Kelly grew up in Ireland---lived in England, and now lives in B.C. Canada . At an early age an interest in drawing was evident & later a correspondence course from the London Art College. Later he studied with artists who taught the Frank Reilly system of drawing & painting, from the Art Students League in New York. Later yet he met Robert Lougheed in Santa Fe, one of America's great artists. It was Robert that got him painting outdoors again---"the best information lies before you," he would say. The artist has traveled to many places to paint & gather information. Every painting is a real place & experience. Kelly has traveled all over the world painting and drawing. He has developed a devoted following and his original works are not often on the market.
