Artist Statement:
As an artist, Fenton describes himself as, “an old-fashioned easel painter brought up among some fine abstract painters”. He has described his works as being “inspired by the mood in the landscape, by its atmosphere and ambiance rather than by its forms.” Influenced by fellow Saskatchewan landscape painters Dorothy Knowles and Reta Cowley and inspired by abstract painters such as Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski, his own landscape paintings are a satisfying blend of realism and abstraction.
