May’s Art of the Month:
“Bursby Barn”
by Joel Knapp
Joel Knapp began painting at a young age and enjoyed creating art all through his career as a dentist. Upon selling his practice and retiring, he was finally able to focus on his true passion…traveling the world and creating art from his experiences! Together with his wife, Karen, Knapp traveled throughout the country and abroad with easel, camera and paints; capturing all aspects of the landscapes, cityscapes and people they met. He was a painter in motion - restless to capture nature and the country in all its moods and seasons. An outstanding colorist, Knapp favored thick, juicy oils applied in a loosely impressionistic style. Primarily painting en plein air, he believed that you capture the spirit of a place by experiencing it directly.
Dr. Joel Knapp passed from this world on September 22, 2020. He was a bright light in the Middle Tennessee artistic community and he will be greatly missed by his fellow artists, valued collectors, and his friends at All About Art.
