Kelly Stone


Kelly has continued his works on paper, creating fantastic landscapes filled with plants, people, and animals. He has taken quite well to watercolor and creates gorgeous multi-colored backgrounds and washes. He adds a great deal of detail and form with colored pencils and pen. Playful animals and plants enjoy themselves in scenes filled with vivid colors.

Artist’s Statement

Art working me. Hardworking man.

I like to paint horses, man, clouds, hands, birds, trees, grass, all things. It makes me feel good. I like to draw flowers. Different colors and numbers, Chicago and buildings.

I like steak on the plate and chicken sandwiches. I collect calendar books, cross and chain necklaces, I just do. I like to watch the weather report on TV about the rain and the sky. I like watching Bewitched.

I like to paint clouds. Things that I see outside. Janet [Denise] inspires me, she just does. She makes me feel good.

I am a special guy. I just am.

Hitting drums, I write my own songs. I write about puppies, babies, baby birds, and fishing catfish with my dad. Him and me. I am 39.
