Kenny McKenna will present an oil demonstration

Kenny McKenna will present an oil demonstration to the Stillwater Art Guild at its meeting Monday at 7:30 p.m. in auditorium of the Sheerar Center, Seventh and Duncan.

McKenna is the owner of J.B.
Beadles Fine Art in Guthrie. During
two decades as a professional
musician, he also painted for his
own enjoyment.
Texas artist Dalhart Windberg
critiqued his work and motivated
him to take up a career in art.
McKenna’s initial gallery presentation
was in 1987 in Santa
Fe, N.M.
In 2005, he was an invited participant
in the Nature Works
Wildlife Show and Sale in Tulsa.
“I create illumination in my
paintings that enhance the already
dramatic views, mesa,
canyons, mountains and prairies
all come to life. Mood is the most
important ingredient in art,”
McKenna said.
In March, he was one of the invited
artists to the Nature Works
Wild Life show and the annual
Night of the Artists in San Antonio,
Texas.
He has participated in numerous
national and one-man shows
and, since 1995, has been an invited
artist for the annual Miniature
Exhibit at the Gilcrease Museum
in Tulsa.
“The Trip,” a 4-foot-by-20-
foot attraction, is on permanent
display for the Grand Canyon
Railway in Williams, Ariz.
McKenna’s art also hangs in
private collections in Japan, England,
Sweden, Canada and the
Cayman Islands and in the
Gilcrease Museum and is often
featured in Art Talk, Arizona
Highways. It was also a feature
in the March/April issue of Art of
the West.
The meeting is open to the
public. First-time visitors to
Stillwater Art Guild may attend
free as the guest of a member.
There is a $5 charge for other
guests.
