The Gallery owner, also a university art
professor, where Kendall had placed his paintings in Jackson Hole Wyoming, was
intrigued and excited with Kendall's new painting method. He suggested that he study Albrecht Durer's
(German artist 1471-1528) studies of nature and the painting "The Great
Clump of Turf" as he went on to paint more paintings. Kendall explored
Durer's works, and he also studied the artist Fredrick Franck's "The
Awakened Eye" where he found the feeling they had. They both had a feeling
of what real nature is and the beauty of real nature. Kendall had a desire to paint the same
feeling. He went to find it and found it
right up inside a cherry tree. With
incredible detail Kendall painted the tree with warm backlit blossoms on the
right, cool shade on the left, and several bees among the blossoms. Through one
of the bubble bee's shear wing you can see a blossom.
Take
some time to enjoy this painting of "Cherry Blossoms and Bees" as you
anxiously await spring.
