Introducing John Kenney: Celebrated Sporting Artist of the 20th Century
Discover the captivating artistry of John Kenney, a name synonymous with the dynamic world of sports illustration. While his name may be less familiar, his work has left an indelible mark, especially among generations of children who grew up enchanted by his illustrations in Ladybird books.
Born in Leicestershire in 1911, Kenney's roots ran deep in this vibrant region. He honed his craft at the City Boys’ School and later pursued formal art education at the esteemed Leicester College of Art. His journey into the world of art commenced at J.E. Slater, a commercial art firm.
During World War II, Kenney bravely served in the 44th Searchlight Regiment and later with the 21st Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. Amidst the tumult of war, he sketched vivid scenes of the historic D-Day landings and the Allies' triumphant advance across Europe. Many of these priceless sketches are now preserved in the annals of the Royal Army Museum at Woolwich.
In 1952, he bid farewell to his career as a commercial artist, embarking on a new chapter devoted to his lifelong love: horses and the exhilarating sports associated with them. Immerse yourself in his equestrian world, where he became an integral figure in the local hunting scene. Countless days were spent in the company of the Fernie and Quorn hunts, painting and riding with boundless passion.
Kenney's artistic vision was profoundly shaped by the legacy of Sir Alfred Munnings, and he, in turn, left an enduring mark on subsequent British sporting artists, notably influencing talents like Neil Cawthorne.
In the pinnacle year of 1972, marking his passing, Kenney's legacy reached international heights. His extraordinary body of work graced the walls of Abercrombie and Fitch, captivating audiences in both New York and Chicago.
Embark on a journey through the masterful strokes of John Kenney, where the spirit of sportsmanship and the timeless elegance of equestrian pursuits come alive in vivid detail. Experience the legacy of an artist whose name may be eclipsed by his art, but whose impact endures through the ages.

ONE FLOCK LISTENS Impressionism, Landscape, Sheep, Plein Aire
Located in Houston, TX
BEST VIEWED ON MOBILE DEVICE
One Flock Listens is part of newly released small works from V....Vaughan's collection of recent travels in Italy and France. V....Vaughan painted each of these on location "en plein air" It has an Impressionistic Style as seen in many of Virginia Vaughan's paintings. This was taken from a plein aire painting near the castle where V....Vaughan was giving a workshop in 2022. 18 x 22 framed.
V....Vaughan is know for her animal, Texas missions Italy, France and Gulf Coast paintings. . Also shown in photos are other paintings by in the "Small Works" collection. Photos were taken to show the detail of each painting.
Her paintings are part of the permanent collection of the Gadsen Museum of Art, the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art and the Great Plains Art Museum as well as in countless private collections. In the fall 2023 she will teach a workshop at a castle in France, where artists will stay and enjoy the southern French food and scenes.
I paint because it’s the best way I know to communicate, study, and observe creative work that’s how Texas painter V…. Vaughan (the first initial stands for Virginia) describes her drive to create fine art. “It’s a calling,” she says of her life’s work, which has taken several twists and turns but has, nevertheless, led her down the path toward fulfillment.
A lifelong Texan, Vaughan grew up in the Austin area and today makes her home in Round Rock, a suburb of the capital city. As a child, she exhibited a love of making art and played the role of the creative one among the seven children in her family, eventually working for several of her siblings as a sign painter and designer. Her parents forever encouraged her to appreciate and mine her passion, instilling in her that it was not simply a passing fancy, but an innate gift. “It was always conveyed to me that this was a God-given talent,” she says. Somehow that made me feel like it was something I was supposed to do. It gave me permission to pursue it.
Vaughan attended college on an athletic scholarship, though she filled her schedule with art classes and subsequently secured an internship at an advertising agency. That introduction to the corporate world set her off in a new direction—she left school to parlay the summer job into a full-time position. She continued to work as a commercial artist for many years after that, winning several prestigious ADDY Awards and working on high-profile accounts for Samsung, the Lady Bird Johnson...

Tricks - Original Oil Painting, Anthropomorphic Scene with Cat and Seagull
By Wendy Vaughan
Located in Chicago, IL
In this fantastical painting animals reign supreme. An enrobed cat observes/directs as a seagull deftly flies through a suspended hoop. Wendy Vaughan seems to infuse her artwork with mystical powers. Backgrounds are layered with symbols and clothing vibrates with magical floating shapes. Her choice of colors are punched up to a level of saturation as to make her work seem otherworldly. Prominent colors in this painting are bright blues in the water, soft oranges in the cat's fur, and purple, gold and pink in the cat's garment. This artwork is framed in dark wood with painted gold inset.
