Giclée Original Paintings on Canvas
Revolutionary New Art Form

Limited Edition Original Paintings These paintings are limited edition originals, Giclée on canvas, up to 44". They have much more in them than photographs have. These paintings have more detail and clarity, more realistic natural color, an immense scope of view (what is at your left, right, at your feet, and in the sky), a sense of real virtual reality presence, more artistic composition, and a full range from shadow to bright elements (you can see detail in shadows and in the bright sky as you would be able to see in real nature). Because of these elements, these paintings capture the overwhelmingly inspiring first presence, or gasp factor, of the magnificent grandeur of nature which cannot be as realistically achieved by either traditional painting or photography. The vibrant colors and minute details excite all the senses. The reaction of most people who see Kendall's paintings is that they feel they could walk right into the painting.

The Creative Process It is very common for painters to uses photographs as references. Although Kendall is painting, it is not directly on canvas, but in the "virtual environment" created by the computer. Kendall begins his creative process with a vision in his mind and rolls of photo references. When photos are scanned into the computer, they become fluid and virtually flexible, responding to Kendall's artistic expression. Here on an empty “virtual canvas” Kendall carefully chooses numerous pieces from his references to create an outline or sketch of his painting. Then he skillfully paints until he is able to express all the feelings and emotions he desires in the painting. He has mastered Photoshop and has gone way beyond the "Photoshop Bible" to develop his unique way to paint. This gives him incredible control over every minute detail of his paintings. Sometimes using over 3 gigabytes of work space, he is creating a set of electronic instructions for an Iris Giclée painting. When the Giclée paints Kendall's art on the canvas, it is the first time his paintings exist in a tangible form outside of the computer thereby making each print an original and more valuable than a reproduction.

Kendall's Talents Kendall has spent years developing the process of creating his paintings. The extensive process requires a good understanding of photography, fine art, computer technology, printing, nature study, and poetry. Kendall's passion for each of these disciplines and his wide range of skills enable him to extract the composition, balance, harmony, and emotions of nature. Each of his paintings take months of meticulous painting. The rapid advancement in technology has opened doors for Kendall to bring to canvas the emotional and powerful feelings of nature he has longed to express. Now, the Giclée process makes these paintings last for several decades.

Paper Original Paintings Paper originals are small open edition original paintings. They are printed on fine quality acid free paper. The inks are heated during the printing process giving them a unique texture. They are fade resistant and have bright colors like those of the Giclees. The smaller ones are signed by the artist in the computer and the larger ones are signed by the artist after printing. They are carefully handcrafted. Each is printed, prepared and packaged individually. They are easily affordable.

Masterful detailed paintings with emotion and experience behind them

Here is an innovative new artist to appreciate! Kendall Davenport has dedicated years of thought and skill to create a revolutionary new art form that he has pioneered. This new art form uses nearly all of the oil, watercolor, and acrylic techniques at once.

"Fresh Morning Sun On Antelope Flats"
"Inspired by 25 minutes of dawn by the Teton mountains and three places."

"Misty Solitude"
"Inspired by Lower Mesa Falls in eastern Idaho and some deer I liked."

Since the beginning of art, artists have tried to paint more clearly and exactly what they have in their hearts and minds. Kendall has found a way to combine the traditions of the fine art masters with new technology to create and pioneer a revolutionary new exciting art form. Now it is possible for him to put what is in his imagination and what he feels more clear and exact on canvas than any other art form from the past would allow. Kendall has been defining the parameters of this new art form since 1995 when it became possible for him to paint this way. This new way to paint is a window into the art of the future, where real nature can be painted on canvas.

Spend time looking, you will find the spirit of an artist and the mountain west.

"Sudden Delight, Spectacular View"
"Inspired by a day's hike. Three places I saw while hiking up the face of Table Mountain, then right across the canyon from the Grand Teton Peaks."

"Hidden Adventure Behind The Mist"
"Inspired by many years of visits to a cave on the Fall River in Yellowstone Park. I used four years of sketches to paint this painting"

Each painting has a wide range of emotional feelings that come from Kendall’s life time of experiences, exploring and loving the mountain west. Most of these paintings are inspired by and represent more than one place and time.

“These paintings are detailed creations from my imagination. They illustrate the feelings and emotions as poetry that I felt and want to share. This new art form allows painting with real nature colors and real textures. They take you to the beautiful places that exist mostly in my mind and heart and you can have the magical feeling of walking into real nature."

"Playful Painter Sun, Gold-mist Palette"
"Inspired by a few minutes of magic by Jackson Lake. The green-gold color comes from observing years of sunsets in the forest."

"Cast In Right Here"
"Inspired by two waterfalls on Fall River Just Below Yellowstone Park and years of playing in rivers."

"I have discovered, looking back, that I have been extremely emotional and passionate all my life. I have experienced nature a lot and found many good emotions, feelings, or spirits in nature which suggested who we are (“we” meaning the mountains, trees, water, rocks and people together.) I have found emotions such as exploration, peace ( as in a quiet pool), faith, courage, renewal, healing, passion ( as in a waterfall,) power, or a feeling of oneness ( as in a rock). As a boy, I played, swam, floated on and fished in a river and lived with it. Now my painting, “Cast in Right Here,” has a slimy rock in it that has the color and texture of rocks in my impressions during that closeness with the river that I have. Many places speak to my heart, and I want to share those feelings with other people when I feel them."
