| "Degas Recreation" by Ken Patterson |
My brother has started posting his artwork to FineArtAmerica and he has inspired me to do the same. Artists are able to display their art, sell products with an image printed on them, and even sell originals (if available). Artists may set their own prices and receive a nominal fee for each product sold. It's a great way to get your art out there! My neighbor loved one of my pastel paintings and purchased a canvas print.

| "Vernazza Harbor" by Ken Patterson |
My latest acrylic painting is of the port city of Vernazza, Italy, where my daughter and her husband visited while he was stationed in Vincenza, Italy. It was supposed to be a wedding present, but I dragged my feet and gifted it to them for Christmas last year.

| "Wedding Portrait"by Ken Patterson |
I recently discovered photos of some of my old watercolor paintings that I did prior to taking an art class at Everett Community College. I painted a couple of portraits to practice using the medium.

| "Clowning Around" by Ken Patterson |
Ten years later I went on to paint faces at my daughter's 5-yr-old birthday party, where I was recruited by Bubbles the Clown to work with her. I consider this painting to be more of a quick study rather than a finished portrait.

| "Cowboy" by Ken Patterson |
I did two paintings while taking the watercolor class at Everett Community College in 1982. One was a seascape including a lighthouse and the other was this portrait of a cowboy (posted to FineArtAmerica).

| "Clown" by Ken Patterson |
The earliest oil painting I have in my possession is a clown painting I did in ~6th grade. I like his expression, though I could have done better on the collar and the background. You can see by my signature that I used Miss Kittle cursive penmanship!
