Local Utah Artist
Kenneth Bischoff Baxter was born in San Diego, California in 1944. He is known as a plein-air landscape painter and as a painter-teacher who instructed many art students and painters. He lives in Salt Lake City. Baxter earned a BFA from the University of Utah where Alvin Gittins, a portraitist, and Frank Ericson, a landscapist, were his mentors. He later earned an MFA from Utah State University. Baxter began his professional career as a traditional-realist known for his paintings of the historical reconstructions of downtown Salt Lake City. His works reveal his talent for composition and brushwork. After being influenced by LeConte Stewart, he began to paint his immediate outdoor environment. As founder of the plein-air school in Utah, Baxter influenced the aesthetic lives of many Utah artists.
From Veranda:
“Decorating with vintage items adds character, uniqueness, and history that is often difficult to achieve with mass-produced items… Using vintage pieces can be a conversation starter and way to infuse your personal heritage, style, and memories into a space. Vintage items often have a quality and craftsmanship that is not often found in new items at a similar price point. Not to mention, you’re upcycling older items, which is a more sustainable way to shop—and so better for the environment!”
Vintage Oil Paintings
“To really stand out from the crowd designers suggest looking for original vintage artwork. While they might be more on the expensive side, older paintings tend to have a piece of history you won’t find in more modern paintings…”
