36" X 48"; SIGNED JAMES P. KERR "LEAVING HOPETOWN" GALLERY LABEL ON REVERSE James P. Kerr was born in Buffalo, New York in 1953. He studied with the late Lazlo Szabo, a prominent portrait painter, and with Carl Illig, landscape painter. Mr. Kerr’s approach to oil painting is direct and colorist. Responding to the vibrant colors in nature, inspiration for his work comes from scenic locations in Florida, the Caribbean, New England and the mountains of North Carolina. While Mr. Kerr has developed a “high key” palette, he is also conversely drawn to the more somber tones of New Orleans nightlife and jazz. He displays his interest in the human form through figurative works, portraits and studies of human day-to-day activities. A very versatile artist, Kerr is adept at painting tropical landscapes, seascapes, outdoor markets, boxing matches, fishermen, jazz musicians and more, all with his signature fluid and vibrant brushwork.
