You are welcome to friend me. - Ron Keas
" I first gained
national attention for my artwork in
1983, when local Channel 8 News, in
Salinas, did a story about me painting
oil portraits of children's Cabbage
Patch dolls. The story was passed
on to the NBC Today Show. I continued to
paint pictures inspired by the daily
events in the World News. For
example, when Pope John Paul II visited
Carmel Ca, Mayor Clint Eastwood greeted
him at the Carmel Mission I was inspired
to do an oil painting of Clint dressed
as an ice-cream man, pushing a cart, and
handing the Pope three ice-cream cones-
Vanilla, Strawberry, and
Chocolate. In the background was
pictured the Carmel Mission. This
light hearted fantasy painting was
published in magazines and newspapers
across America and around the
World. Riding on this wave of this
notoriety, I sold lithograph posters of
his oil painting of Clint Eastwood
dressed as a cowboy riding
a hog. He titled it, High on
the Hog," or "Dirty Hairy Pig".
In 1985 I
invented an optical illusion he called
Echo-Vision.
I had also developed and built a
folding stereoscopic viewer that he
used to view 3-D stereographs that I
photographed with my own techniques. I
set up a prehistoric terrarium on my
porch, complete with a sky with Moon,
a volcano with black light, and
vegetation lit by white and colored
lights. I used this set-up as a set to
photograph Dinosaur models in color
stereo-3D. The stereographs I made
from these photo-shoots were sold with
my stereo-viewer
on the internet. In 1986
these stereographs drew the attention
of Sir Arthur C. Clarke online. He
emailed me and told me he attributed
his study of science to a set of black
and white stereographs his father gave
him when he was a boy. He and I
became friends over the internet, and
I sent 50 stereo-viewers and Dinosaurs
sets to Arthur as gifts to the
children he cared for at Shri
Lanka. During this time, Ron
traveled to the most popular National
Parks to photograph them in 3-D in
order to produce stereographs that he
would sell with stereo-viewers on the
internet. In 1997, the first
Mar's Rover landed on Mars. NASA
put photos taken by the Rover camera
on the internet. I downloaded
these 2-D images and selected the ones
with the angles that would allow for
3-D stereo-graphs to be made. I
then published these images to the
internet, days before NASA did the
same, making me the first to publish
3-D images of the surface of
Mars. These stereograph
sets were also sold on the
internet.
From
1986 until 2004 I lived in Ben Lomond, a
small town in the Santa Cruz Redwoods
mountains. There I photographed
the Redwood's State Parks and supplied
their Visitor Centers with stereo-images
and slideshows of the Parks.
For the next 20
years, I lived in Lake County, Ca. where
he photographed the beauty of nature
with Clear Lake as background.
Today the local hospitals, County
buildings, businesses, and homes have my
large, mounted photographs of beauty of
Lake County displayed on their walls.
In 2006, Presidential candidate
Obama drew my attention. I
began painting oil
portraits of Obama that were
inspired by current events, and for the
next 8 years I painted his portraits and
sold prints of them on the internet.
Four of my Obama paintings were featured
at the Democratic National Convention in
Denver. my painting of the First
Family was featured in the Diversity
Calendar, handed out at Obama's first
inauguration. The HuffingtonPost
wrote, Ron Keas' Obama Paintings Make Us
Proud To Be American. My oil portrait of
Hillary sitting in the Oval Office was
responded to with a heart warming letter
from her. Most recently I was
commissioned to do a painting of
President Lincoln by the owner of Ayers
Mansion in Illinois, where President
Lincoln used to visit his friend,
Augustus Ayers. My painting of
President Lincoln now hangs at the Ayers
Estate in Jacksonville, Illinois. The
Mansion owner tells me that the portrait
brings tears to the eyes of
visitors.
I am also Nationally known for my oil
paintings that appeared on the front
page of the New York Times, magazines,
newspapers, and in books including "Art
for Marilyn,""Princess
Diana in Art " and "Art for
Obama."
This year I
moved to San Francisco, eager to
photograph the iconic views of the
City. Photographic prints of my
art and photography are considered to be
collectibles. I will also be producing
mounted photo prints, and panoramic
images including anaglyphic 3-D
panoramic images to be viewed with red
and blue glasses supplied with the
prints. I am also still taking
commissions for oil portraits."
