It is the patience to belong in the moment. The colors are mine to manipulate. Time doesn’t matter just the stroke of the brush and my vision.

The painter's brush is charged with the tears of the ages. The painter's palette is a battlefield where colors clash. The painter's vision is a prophecy that foretells the future. The painter's art is a symphony that echoes the music of the spheres." - Eugene Delacroix

About the Artist



I am a local artist residing in Monroe, Louisiana, Navy veteran, retired Monroe Fire Captain, and cancer survivor.


While recovering from health issues, I was looking for something to keep me active, with no previous experience, I started oil painting in 2024. I taught myself the basics using social media like YouTube to learn techniques, Color Theory, basically anything I could get my hands on. I am still learning something new every day. 


I now have a newfound passion and am living proof that no matter your age, it is never too late to learn and love. I sincerely hope you enjoy my works of art as much as I have enjoyed creating them. 

My paintings are available for sale at kevinhoweart.com

I am also on Facebook and Instagram @kevinhoweart.


Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.
