Paintings by Lockwood Dennis

The creation of painted works remained a constant endeavor of Lockwood Dennis throughout his 45 year career as an artist.  While this medium always presented a great challenge, it was the most personally rewarding for him, and in turn may reveal the most about him as a person.  Influence in the early years came from the works of impressionists such as Cezanne and Matisse, and later evolved into a graphical style influenced by the simplified imagery developed from his woodblock prints.  In a number of cases, the subject and image for the paintings and the prints are shared in common.

A statement by the artist on the creation of paintings can be found on the page Philosophical Musings on Painting.
