Oil on wood by Kris Lewis




The Los Angeles-based Kris Lewis is a very talented painter influenced by Alfonse Bougereau, Andrew Wyeth, Hans Holbein, Albrecht Durer, Hieronymus Bosch, Gustav Klimt, Antonio Mancini, and Jules-Bastien LePage. For me his paintings hold a real sense of emotion from the muse and I really like his use of angles and proportions to enhance this. His work also reminds me a bit of Grant Wood's American Gothic. I wish I could achieve anywhere near as beautiful illustration as this artist. His work is stunning.
