Ben Young is a contemporary fine arts painter, originating from Appalachia Ohio. Painting in watercolor and oil paint since beginning in December 2023. A fairly new artist with a lot of raw talent continuing to develop. He specializes in painting emotional narratives based on his own experiences and feelings.
A watercolor painting of the artist and his dog, Izzy, walking across the rolling hills of Appalachia Ohio.
An oil painting a young couple embracing in a surreal and dramatic setting. Could it be a dream the artist had once again holding his greatest loss or the final moments of acceptance of something else?
A watercolor painting of a golden hour view of Mount Rainier with Avalanche Lilies as the main focus. A scene the artist hoped to share with his late Fiancee.
A Wyeth style watercolor painting watching the artist's father limp along the winter grass rut to the childhood hills the artist belonged.
A watercolor painting featuring a dear old friend, looking onward to the future with both hope and concern.
Based on the lyrics of the song, Hallelujah. She tied you to the kitchen chair, she broke your throne and cut your hair.
Defeat is a watercolor painting displaying the emotions of my inability to play in the national tennis championship.
A watercolor painting featuring a cat, named Princess. Wearing a water cup as a hat on her head. As she sits and watches the artist paint.
Ben mainly works with oil paint and watercolors. Occasionally drawing with watercolor pencils or oil pastels. Inspired by impressionism, he mainly paints in realism. The use of landscapes is inspired from everywhere he has traveled, from Ohio to Germany. His narratives are an expression of his own life experiences and emotions. From trauma and loss to finding peace. The brushwork, an abstract expression in to every detail.
January 7th, 2025 - I have decided to change up how I do my newsletters, starting as of now. Instead of a monthly release, I will be sending out something everything months instead. This will give me the time I need to work on larger paintings and not be so rushed every month. I can cram more content, of what shows, painting releases, and other happenings in to one spot, so it’s more entertaining to read...
