Working primarily in oils, Kerr was associated with the California Impressionist tradition, capturing the rich color and texture of roses, coastal scenes, and countryside views. His florals in particular showcase a mastery of light and composition, recalling the elegance of 19th-century still life painting while embracing a modern sense of immediacy. Kerr’s work aligns with the lineage of American Realism and California Impressionism, resonating with collectors of artists such as Guy Rose, Edgar Payne, Granville Redmond, and Franz Bischoff, who similarly emphasized color harmony and the beauty of California’s natural settings. His paintings remain highly collectible today, appealing to admirers of floral still life, plein air traditions, and mid-20th century American painting.
