Paintings of Karl Krogstad
Painter Karl Krogstad
My first watercolors were done in 1973 on the Oregon Coast in a little town named Rockaway. In 1977, Penny Walden and I traveled to France where I painted for the second time. This is the story of serious self-taught stuff. The clock rolls forward to find me with my own daughter. The year is 1996. Standing beside me is not Penny.
The country is France, once again. Owing to the miracle of sex, a large chunk of Penny was still at my side.
We are in an unimaginably beautiful tiny town named Triganace. We stop walking as I see a char near a doorway.
I might have said it aloud or maybe I just thought it, but there it was. The chair on that little street was just like the painting that Penny and I had seen back in 1977.
That painting was created by George Braque. Penny and I could have bought it for $600. (It was a litho.)
We did not have the money. And so now I myself shall paint the chair.
It's no Braque -- but it is a great Krogstad!
The gallery retains more than 20 unframed paintings and posters. Expense range $200.
