Pushing The Boundaries For Over 50 Years

His affectionate childhood memories of this lush, quaint, and massive, beautiful area of United States National Forests have undoubtedly influenced the vivid paintings he now produces of stunning woods, rural life and magical moments frozen in time.

What Is Clear Impressionism?

Kenneth Halvorsen has been creating hypo-realistic landscape artwork for over 50-years and has developed a style that he calls Clear Impressionism. Transparent objects are the most intriguing for Halvorsen’s studies in oils. That’s why one will notice a dominating majority of fascinating water streams, frost, snow, waterfalls and seascapes of clear waters in Halvorsen’s works. This style possesses the quality of bringing the natural world into your home, your heart, and your mind. The mission of Halvorsen's Landscape Artwork is to create environmental facsimiles that not only invoke the visual quality of beauty, drama, color, and dynamic energy of each scene but also to transport the viewer's emotional state to a harmonious concord with each painting. The artworks are intended to create a synergetic experience that fuses the individual sentiment of each viewer with a specifically crafted and designed effectuation of response that each image holds within itself. By momentarily submerging the "self" into the artwork you will begin to have a multi-sensory excursion away from your present surroundings and into the scenes. Imagine feeling the wind on your skin, having an olfactory experience while gazing at the blossoms, or feeling the skin-tingling chill of a snow emblazoned winter's visage. Kenneth's artwork will stir your sense, heart and mind as it takes you on nature's beautiful journey to the most amazing realities imaginable. Relax and Enjoy.
