Realistic Art

Original Midwestern and Lakeshore Paintings

of
Brian T. Keller

Realistic paintings emphasizing the Upper Midwest of America. This realistic art is
inspired by the lakes, rivers, and shorelines I've studied and photographed in my
travels to the Midwest. The home interiors and detailed still life studies
are designed to help the viewer feel at home in my paintings.

Realistic Art for Impact

When I paint, the most important thing for me is to create the illusion of real places that observers can relate to, and feel glad they've stopped to visit. Realistic art is important to me as the best way to achieve that goal. The pieces on this page are imaginary creations, a composite of actual things I've see or places I've been and photos I've researched that I felt would add depth and uniqueness to each painting.

I've travelled the Midwest for over thirty years, and recreating moments like morning light on serene lakes, combined with great old structures to add a sense of being in my paintings, satisfies my desire to create.
