Ken Taylor Miniature Watercolour, Winter Lane

Modern Miniature painters are something of a rarity, and Ken Taylor is a British artist who is an superlative example of how well a small painting, executed with skill and a natural affinity to the countryside can have such an impact. We are fortunate to have added to our inventory a small series of paintings of exceptional merit, this one being of a country lane in the winter, snow (particularly in the UK where it is not seen that often) always has such a unique effect on the landscape and the light.

Surprisingly Ken Taylor (b 1939) is classified as a self-taught artist albeit a trained graphic designer with a long term (20 year) background in the advertising industry, he has for many years specialised in miniature gouache paintings. Born in Liverpool, in 1939, he was educated there, trained as a graphic designer then worked in advertising agencies in Liverpool for 20 years. Taylor made his home in the 1970's in a small village located near Oswestry.

It was the encouragement of other professional artists that led Taylor to push his artistic abilities towards miniature paintings. The majority of his miniature works are made with gouache and painted onto a black mount board. Much of the artist’s inspiration has come from the surrounding seasonal changes, found along country lanes and areas around his home.
Ken Taylor’s work has been sold worldwide and has many collectors. He has exhibited and sold many works at exhibitions, including the Hilliard Society of Miniaturists and the Royal Academy, London.
