Gilbert Pennison Fine Art

Gilbert Pennison, Jr.

Gilbert Pennison, Jr. began drawing at a very early age.

“My parents were always concerned that I was spending time drawing rather than attending to my school work.”

Although he later became an Accounting Manager, Gilbert never lost his interest in art. He began painting in earnest in his mid-forties. Highly influenced by the masters of the Impressionist period, he received a great deal of encouragement and advice from noted professional artists in the Houston, Texas area. He now lives with his wife, Joan Marie (also an artist), in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Many people ask if I am self-taught. My answer is always the same; I have been taught by every artist with whom I have painted, from whom I have received instruction, and whose works I have been honored to view.”

Gilbert considers himself fortunate to have been associated with many fine artists as a result of his past membership in the Watercolor Art Society of Houston (WASH) and the Lone Star Art Guild (Northwest Art League Chapter). An award-winning artist, Gilbert works in watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel and photography.

Gilbert's wife, Joan Marie Pennison, is also an artist of long standing. Her work can be seen by using the following link. - http://joan-marie-pennison.artistwebsites.com/
