In his early years Colin Kent studied and worked as an architect. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1971 and then became a full time painter. His landscapes and interiors are painted from his memories, feelings, and impressions, displaying the romantic elements and the spirit of places filtered through his own vision and artistic sensibilities. He transforms the ordinary view into an extraordinary vision through his use of tonal contrasts, texture, and light and shade, creating works which have vitality, spontaneity and a sense of timelessness.

His works are in collections in the UK, U.S.A, France, Germany, Finland, and Japan. Pink Cloud...
