The Art of Kent Wilkens
"A Commanding View"
An inspiring view of Mt. Sinai from Jebel Katrina, 6 kilometers
to the west. The artist and his 2nd oldest daughter travelled
there
in 2009 to climb 4 mountains in 4 days. This view was accessed
through a deep steep valley climing thousands of feet above the
valley floor. The ascent and descent was a total of 32 hours
from one supply point to the next, the chief difficulty being
the
ability to pack enough water, food and gear for that time frame,
no sherpas, no camels, all on your own back climbing
broken granite during the day in 35 degree celcius heat. Most
will agree the trip was worth the trouble.
When finish, this will have the Ten Commandments
across the top in ancient Hebrew with English across the bottom.
Expected
completion is fall 2011.

"Moses View"
250 s/n
A very difficult painting to attempt in
acrylics - thin washes - dry brush -
colour balance - very subtle tone shifts - and
very dramatic ones -
all combine to make this awesome sunrise at Mt.
Sinai
in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt one of his most
compelling paintings.
