Doug Kinnett
Shepherdstown 17, 1973
Oil on Wood
12 × 15 inches
"This painting was done in 1973 when Doug was an art student at Shepherd
College. His professors were constantly trying to refrain Doug's use of color. So,
as you can see, this painting is muddy in color but makes up for it with thick
use of paint and a very textured surface that still makes you want to touch it"
