American_Beauty.jpg
American Beauty - Kevin Nielsen223 viewsThis was my last (possibly ever) attempt at photorealistic still life. Lovely, but so much struggle to keep the details right -- and the impressionistic effects in the reflection and petal-shadows were my favorite part anyway.
Angel_Considering_Rebellion.JPG
Angel Considering Rebellion - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2001182 viewsThis is on a wood plank approximately 14" x 40" -- very solid. Unfortunately, it has been left exposed to the elements for far too long -- the sun, in particular, has bleached the vitality of the color out of it. A lesson learned. This picture, unfortunately, also has significant glare issues. Suckage!
Bellingham_Bay.jpg
Bellingham Bay - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2005184 viewsRather impasto attempt to capture some of the feel of Bellingham's downtown area (and the back of Sehome hill) from approx. King Mountain. Mediocre quality -- but very colorful!
Blue_Cityscape-Unfinished.jpg
Blue Cityscape - Unfinished - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2000148 viewsThis is on a massive wooden plank approximately 5'10" x 16". I still intend to finish it someday -- but I might have to, you know, kind of paint of the whole thing in order to finish it properly.
Burning_God.jpg
Burning God - Kevin Nielsen, 1998158 viewsOne of my first oil paintings, this incindiary piece was inspired by the Bremerton Kona Village Fire in 1997, which both provided the subject matter for this particular piece and robbed me of most of my other creative outlets, at least for a while. This is the first painting where I felt a full sense of the possibilities that oils allowed for.
Camp_Fire.jpg
Camp Fire - Kevin Nielsen, unfinished, c. 2006184 viewsPiece of crap that Cathy made me include.
Cathedral_Head.jpg
Cathedral Head - Kevin Nielsen, 2006157 viewsOil on small inset wooden panel. Currently somewhere else.
Cork.jpg
Cork - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2004182 viewsOil on posterboard. The angel figure seems to appear often in my material from this time period, often in a ambiguous or menacing role. Currently somewhere around the house.
Costa_Rican_Sunset.jpg
Costa Rican Sunset - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2007170 viewsOil on canvas. A random photograph provided the source material, but I was imagining a recent trip to Costa Rica by my friends John and Noella. This is one of my favorite landscapes.
Cove.jpg
Cove - Kevin Nielsen, 2007169 viewsOil on fiberboard. A product of summer.
Death_with_His_Hood_Down.jpg
Death with his Hood Down - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2004154 viewsOil and acrylic on poster board.
December_After_the_Fire.jpg
December after the Fire - Kevin Nielsen, Dec. 1997155 viewsFirst oil painting.
DelphiniumsAtTwilight.jpg
Delphiniums at Twilight - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2002160 viewsOil on canvas. Another favorite of mine, currently on my living room wall. When I get tired of it I shall try to sell it to Joy Harrison -- if she bargains hard enough, she can have it for free. Joy, if you ever happen to read this, give me a call. ;-)

Unfortunately, while it was drying I left this outside, leaning against a fence, in the rain. The frame is slightly warped and never achieved straightness again.
DreamscapeI.jpg
Dreamscape I - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2004119 viewsOil on -- uh, something, probably posterboard. I really enjoyed doing the checkered tile floor.
EndOfAnEra.jpg
End of an Era - Kevin Nielsen, c. 2004159 viewsOil on Wood.
