🥇 Here is to a master of masters, Derek Penix
@derekpenix .
We have followed Derek for more than twenty years, and his extraordinary talent never stops evolving. Every year or two he embraces a new subject, and with each new series the result is as brilliant — or even more so — than the last. Penix is truly one of those rare artists whose versatility strengthens rather than dilutes his voice and signature style.
Whether he paints boats, portraits, fruit, flowers, birds, cityscapes, trees, landscapes, fish — summer or winter — the result is always the same: Pure Genius. Pure Magic.
Not only is Penix one of the most gifted, prolific, and versatile painters of our time, he is also, quite simply, the most awarded artist in the United States: at the AIS Juried Exhibitions
