Ken Babcock 

Ken Babcock (Jan 25/33-Jul 21/01) was a late-blooming painter (in the last 5 years of his life) with his own inimitable style in technique, color and texture. As you can see, he picked up on the art quite quickly as he did in everything he learned. 

Here are some of his paintings that show the diversity of his style. Ken painted for request, for professionals, for gifts, and for his own enjoyment, ever elaborating on his style. 

My Dad and I were beginning to promote his paintings when he was stricken with his second heart attack (resulting in a quad-bypass), but while he was getting back on his feet, he found out about the prostrate cancer (2 years before he died). He never let those things deter him from his love for his new found art or his long-lasting love for his steel guitars, building them, and their music. 

He's much-loved and he's around us all the time. I am proud, as his daughter, to have inherited his spark of creativity and sense of insight into real life, along with what we had started together for him (his desire to share his great works).
