'Paintings for sale' by Joe Ray Kelley.
Welcome to Life Expressions in Fine Art!

'Paintings for sale' are presented on this online Art Gallery by oil and acrylic artist Joe Ray Kelley.

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 paintings, 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.

Joe Ray Kelley, a native of Missouri, has been well represented throughout the mid-west and his work had been accepted and rewarded in many regional, national and international juried art shows and exhibitions.

For realistic art in landscapes he concentrates on the ‘weather factor’ (season, clouds, foliage and time of day or night), which are all factors in the light source involved in the color and shading of the painting. From the initial planning stage of a painting to the last brush stroke provides a pleasure in his life like no other.

Joe Kelley also takes assignments for Commissioned Art and his work is displayed at Exhibitions on national level. Joe's paintings can be found in corporate and private collections from Galway Bay, Ireland to Monterey Bay, California.

Joe’s mastery is in Acrylic Paintings, Oil Paintings covering a large spectrum of Landscapes to Patriotic Paintings to Nature and Portraits. Joe also loves to bring 'Faces and Places' live in his paintings and sketches.
