Everett Kennell Art

I have a thing about old cars, especially those like this '57 Chevy hardtop, sitting patiently, waiting to come back to life. I had a '57 way back when. I don't know where it is now, but it was one of those projects I never got around to doing. I smashed up the right rear quarter pretty bad in a wreck and quit driving it. My dad helped me get another car and eventually sold the '57 to somebody who was going to restore it. What might have been? 18x24 acrylic on canvas Original is sold. Prints available: $75 each Email me if interested.

No, it's not the novel by Saul Bellow or the former manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, but this train car in the yards north of Commercial Street in Springfield caught my eye back in 2005. 16x20 oil on canvas.  SOLD

The old iron bridge at Fiddler's Ford in Dade County, built in 1911, is no more. I read that it was torn down and replaced in 2015. I got a look at it for this painting in 2006. SOLD 16x20 oil on canvas. 

Over the past 40 years or so, I've painted a few pictures of Lindenlure, a scenic little spot on the Finley River southeast of Springfield. This one is from 2006. SOLD 16x20, oil on canvas

A more recent piece of work from 2015. This scene is from a plantation near Natchitoches, Louisiana. Spider lilies and a cotton barn -- it doesn't get much more southern than that. 14x18, oil on canvas Price: $125

Another more recent offering. I like old buildings, cars, farm equipment, etc. This vintage tractor, work-worn but still in use, is an example of the latter from 2016. SOLD 16x20, acrylic on canvas
