A ROW OF EUCALYPTUS
Original oil on canvas painting by Ken Christensen, measuring 30 × 40 inches. This landscape celebrates the quiet beauty of California's iconic eucalyptus trees, where expressive brushwork and natural light create a timeless sense of place.
Ken Christensen is a classic, on-site landscape painter in the style of the French Impressionists and Fauves, painting with the vision, color, and verve of such painters as Van Gogh, Vlaminck, Marquet and Derain yet with the American perspective of Hopper and Benton. His paintings have been featured on the cover of the Daniel Smith catalogue and written about in Artist's Sketchbook Magazine, as well as in local newspapers. He is the founder of a bold group of painters, The New Fauves, committed to propagating the style of the great French Fauve painters. Ken Christensen continues to live in Los Osos, California mixing plein air and studio work.
