This month’s Hard Working Artist Award should go to Everett Kitts. I saw his paintings today at “Madison’s Best Art Fair” in the Hilldale Mall, but Everett was not there. He had an artist friend in his place who was knowledgeable about his work, and who presented it for sale. But Everett was showing his work in Milwaukee, at a Third Ward Gallery Walk. Hat’s off to hard work.
Everett’s paintings are quite colorful, inspired by rock music. His card says he paints Abstract Art, but his paintings often have recognizable images. He likes to paint around the sides of the canvas, continuing the imagery to the back of the wide stretcher bars – an interesting effect.
I saw Everett’s work about a year ago at a different venue, and thought he had great potential. He showed a large selection of his paintings, and they seemed to be selling. I think his artistic skill has matured — his display is definitely worth a visit.
