Autumn Fog
Oil painting by Christopher Jenkins
 
Welcome to the website of American artist Christopher Jenkins.  The website features my oil paintings of transportation machines, including ships, trains, and airplanes.  My paintings have been juried into several national and international exhibitions, and displayed in museums and other public venues.


There are few subjects that lend themselves better to painting than transportation machines.  Only a rare photograph or a well executed painting can capture the soul of a machine.  It can be the thrill of a passing train, the unstoppable momentum of a ship, or the decay of obsolete equipment that the artist must capture.  Painting is the best way to visualize a bygone scene that can not be recreated, make a memory tangible, or observe a machine from a viewing angle that could not be attained.

All of thepaintings are based on my original drawings, and are painted on canvas, linen or masonite using traditional oil painting methods.
