Ron
Keas in front of one of his President Obama Paintings

Ted Kennedy was a gifted artist.
One of his paintings was of the Hyannis
Port Compound as seen from the water. I was inspired to paint
him sailing away from his own painting.
I began the painting of Senator
Ted Kennedy, titled "At The Helm", two hours before I heard the news
of his passing, and I worked on it through the next few days, while listening
to the TV coverage of his memorial and funeral.
Each day I posted an updated photo
of the painting, until it was finished on September 16. I received
heart warming emails from folks that who followed the progress of the painting
online. "At The Helm" will appear in an upcoming issue of Cape Code
Life Magazine. The prints of this painting are considered to be great
collectibles. |
