WHY A POPULIST ART COMPANY?

KDL INTL LLC  is a Populist Art company created for my artistic independence, making available to the public my Original Art, and Art Products of Fashion and Decor. As a Populist Painter, I formed my company believing in Art for Everyone, inspiring Joy, Power, Intellect, and Grace, like our happy leaping pup Dove. Bright colors and lively shapes make everyone feel good. Art for Everyone KDL!

WHY TAKE PAINTINGS OUT OF GALLERIES & INTO YOUR LIFE?

LUDWIG PICTURES welcomes you to shop my original paintings and prints, for an original art gallery purchase experience in the space and light of your own home. I paint flowers and places and people I love in watercolor and acrylic and oils. Bypassing the gallerists’ fees, I can bring my paintings to you directly at more affordable art prices. LUDWIG EXPRESS brings these same original paintings to you on colorful Women’s Wear, Kids’ Wear, Men’s Wear, even Pups’ Wear, and bright Home/Office decor. Art on the wall and Art on us all!

WHY IS COLLECTING & WEARING ORIGINAL ART SO PERSONAL?

This website holds twenty years of art in my life, in commercial galleries, in private collections, that I’ve now learned to bring direct to you shopping online, for a closer more personal relationship and a more affordable price!  Art for Everyone KDL!  But most importantly, really Joyful art delights you, really Powerful art shakes you, art that touches your Intellect and makes you think quietly, the best art tells the Truth with Grace. It’s honest reportage journalism, it’s believing in what you see for yourself, so it’s personal. And for me to send it all over the world, to you personally, shines a bright light. Art for Everyone KDL!

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

RECENT PROJECTS

In the streets of New York City ParisLondonOntario’s countryside , and on Toronto Island I hunt for paintings on the bike. For New York Armory Week I exhibited at the Clio Art Fair, and won awards for Etching at the League Print Exhibition as well as Lithography and Paintings awards. Then I drove to paint in the beautiful beaches of the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. A great Nashville project “My View from Home Mail Art” included me in their press article and a television news show.  Making reportage paintings in DC,  reporters Rebecca Knier and John Henry of CBS WUSA News 9 did an onsite Jan 7, 2021  interview with me . Then, Pete Townshend of The Who commissioned a painting for his upcoming music project The Age of Anxiety. I left DC to paint in Toronto, Florida, New York, and the Adirondacks

Painting at the RBG memorial SCOTUS.

I have painted hundreds of portraits and these are some.

Sometimes these are about individual personalities, like this oil painting of Connie in Manhattan.  And Claudia on Toronto Island.

 And Sofia on Toronto Island.

And Richard and Charles at home.

Places

I made this series of six paintings of the view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan Skyline sitting on the docks at Staten Island from midday until night — it was so beautiful and I felt new in New York. Mayor Michael Bloomberg asked for my images to represent Immigrant Heritage: they appeared citywide on screensavers, posters, and stationary, and were featured in two articles in the New York Times.
