With both fortitude and impressive style, JOE RAY KELLEY made the quantum jump, in the Nineteen Eighty's, from drawing weather maps (a trained and experienced meteorologist), to oil and acrylic painting, building on a talent for illustration. In a style of realism that borrows from both modern and classical masters, Joe Kelley-a largely self-taught artist-has a deft and subtle understanding of the interplay of light and medium. His paintings exude a profound understanding of the interplay of light and subject. His commanding use of color focuses and enhances the viewers' experience of mood and intimacy.
