I'm Ron Kendall, a 67 year old, self taught artist, with 60+ years experience and that's me above. After getting out of the army in 1968, I started to seriously put pen and paint to paper. In the last 45 years I have managed to assemble a portfolio of 455 outrageously beautiful and varied pieces of art. And I am still adding to it. Up to 4hrs a day. I am now retired and live in Phelan, California. However, I spent 36 years in the mountains of Trinity County California in a place called Hayfork. I relocated there from Riverside, Ca in 1973. There I worked, fished, prospected for gold and developed my artistic style. I also play the guitar and sing a bit. During those years many of my works won 1st place awards in local county fairs and exhibitions. My art has evolved over the years to include a wide variety of styles, methods and media.
