and experience
A Gathering of Artists 
Christopher Jenkins
I am a 52 year old American painter who specializes in transportation subjects. I’ve worked for 28 years in the transportation industry and am familiar with my favorite subject matter.That includes airplanes, railroads, and steam powered ships. My objective is to capture the essence of a scene or a machine, without distracting detail. In many of the paintings, I work to create a sense of motion. I use a variety of high quality oil paints, brushes and other tools, including the painting knife and rags.Only traditional methods are employed, and the process of creating each painting begins with simple sketches from several points of view, progresses to a shaded pencil drawing, and ultimately to an oil painting. My paintings have been selected for inclusion in national and international exhibitions, and displayed in museums, galleries, and other public venues and have appeared in publications in the United States and overseas. Recent Exhibitions: My painting ALLIED ORIENT LINES was selected for inclusion in the 96th
annual exhibition of the Allied Artists of America held at the National Arts Club in New York City during November 2009. Two of the artist's paintings were selected for inclusion in the International Waters Exhibit held at the Ventura County Maritime Museum in Oxnard, California August 17-September 5, 2008. My paintings were included in the Railway Reflections International Art Expo held at the Nevada State Library Gallery in Carson City, July 17-August 17, 2008. The painting AHEAD OF THE WEATHER was selected for the Silver Anniversary Juried Show of the American Plains Artists, held at the Ellen Noel Art Museum in Odessa, TX June 6-July 12th 2009. The painting DAYBREAK PALMS was selected for inclusion in the exhibition book for the Richeson75 2009 International Small Works competition. The painting NYC TUG recently received the 7th place award in the Steamship Historical Society of America’s Art & Photography contest, and the painting appeared in the Spring 2010 issue of Powerships Magazine.
