Pacific Dream by Ken Kirkby
30″x48″ Oils on Canvas
$4000
This painting depicts the view eastward from the lighthouse and it captures Chrow Island and Jenny Reef. In the foreground are the black rocks of Amphitrite Point as well as the waves crashing upon them. I’m startled by the apparent ease that Kirkby paints this; as many painters struggle to portray the Pacific with any realism.

Long Beach Dreams by Ken Kirkby
30″x48″ Oils on Canvas
sold (private collection)
None of Ken’s signature elements are present in this painting: no sgraffito grass, no rocks, no silhouettes of trees with pointillist coloring. This painting captures the very essence of Long Beach. There is a sensitivity in the coloring, and Kirkby’s confidence and simplicity in its primary elements. Ken tells you how he sees it, in art and in life.
Long Beach View by Ken Kirkby
24″x48″ Oils on Canvas
$3000
Long Beach as seen by Ken Kirkby. This is the first time Ken has painted the ocean in this particular way. The distinctly wind blown tree and rocks appear in his signature style but this painting captures the airy quality of Long Beach in the summer. We can see the mountains behind Tofino in the background behind the silhouette of the treeline.
The Lake by Ken Kirkby
24″x48″ oils on canvas
$3000
A very calm and serene lake view in signature Kirkby realism. The pale sky in this piece responds to the ambient color in the room.
