About Kay Crain:
I think my Artists' Statement should simply proclaim...."Not Edgy." :>)

Although you'll find a variety of subjects here in my gallery, I most love painting people.

I do quite a few portrait commissions, specializing in Children in everyday natural settings and pursuits, rather than stiff formal portraits.

I'm definitely a colorist, not a tonalist; and consider myself a contemporary realist with impressionist leanings.

I like to paint almost every day, although sometimes life gets in the way.

Be sure to click on "Show All Paintings" (by the side of Newest Paintings.)

and hit "Next" in each category. There are several pages in each.
