Note: Ken Howard paintings are about three things. It is about revelation, communication and celebration. By revelation he means giving people a way of seeing, revealing the world around them in a way they have never seen before, opening their eyes. By communication he means revealing the world with a personal language, speaking directly in an instantly recognisable style. He wants it to celebrate life whether it be human dignity expressed by Velasquez or Cezanne, or the wonders of nature expressed by Corot or Monet. For Ken his main inspiration was light and it is through light that he wanted to celebrate his world.
