You can buy it directly from me.<\/h4>\n

Contact me through my “contact” page, or the form below.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I take credit cards, I ship UPS.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0And I offer a 30 day money-back guarantee!<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Not at this time.<\/h4>\n

As new things happen – including new art, I post them to my social network:<\/h3>\n

KenMattson.com<\/span> – Here, I blog about things directly related to my artwork.<\/h4>\n

For you? – Very easy<\/span>.<\/h3>\n

For me? – well, I have to build a crate – but that’s easy!<\/h4>\n

Shipping price depends on the size, weight, and distance.<\/h4>\n

I prefer UPS.<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do you take commissions?” admin_label=”Do you take commissions?” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n

Generally, no.<\/h4>\n

I’ve taken a lot of commissions over the years,<\/h4>\n

but right now, I’m just following the muse where she takes me.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Why do you paint on shaped canvases?” admin_label=”Why do you paint on shaped canvases?” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n

Rectangles are nice – they don’t distract from the painting.<\/h4>\n

But how can you look at that shape and not want to mess with it?<\/h4>\n

I shape them to evoke specific feelings.<\/h3>\n

The points, the curves, the splinters, all move me in different ways.<\/h3>\n

You know what else? \u00a0– \u00a0When I paint, it feels like I’m actually making the object –\u00a0<\/span>I want it right there in the room with me.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Taking away the rectangle helps that.<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Why do you carve into them?” admin_label=”Why do you carve into them?” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n

Because painting just isn’t enough – I have to get more physically<\/span><\/a><\/span> involved.<\/h4>\n

Those carved lines are like cutting into flesh, they’re like actually participating in the movement going on.<\/h4>\n

Even when I draw, I’m very physical – you can’t believe the the amount of leads I break.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Future plans?” admin_label=”Future plans?” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n

Always.<\/h3>\n

There’s a long ways to go with these oil paintings, I’m curious where they will take me – that’s my focus.<\/h4>\n

I also have a stack of drawings waiting to be explored through woodblock prints.<\/h4>\n

I plan to bring those two mediums – (oil painting and printmaking), into one cohesive body of work.<\/h4>\n

\u00ba<\/p>\n

At some point I want to paint a series of watercolors that keep going through my head – I can almost taste them!<\/h4>\n

And then there’s a body of work in stained glass that keeps calling – we’ll see.<\/h4>\n

\u00ba<\/p>\n

There’s more of course\u2026 but that’s enough for now.<\/h4>\n

Yes, you may \u2013 (seriously).<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a partnership – I can’t do this without you.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you<\/span>\u00a0for leaving comments, for repining on Pinterest, for sharing me with your friends.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

And thank you\u00a0to all my collectors.<\/h4>\n
