Keith Proctor

Keith Proctor figurative artist certainly brings the nostalgia of flat caps and boots back to life with his limited edition prints and original paintings of young children. Choose from an amazing collection of artworks by this artist.

Keith has been painting for over thirty years, first with watercolours and pastels then later moving on to oils. As a child he was influenced by his father who told him: “Never draw a straight line; always break lines up when you sketch and paint; make your marks interesting”. Advice that the young Keith took to heart and has never forgotten.

Many of Keith’s works are inspired by his youngest son, Jack. Being a Father to four boys has given Keith a unique insight into his subject. He loves the fact that children are so natural and instinctive and the way that their behaviour is spontaneous and from the heart. He says: “What better subject to paint than children? They pick up on body language very early and use it well. I try to convey this body language in my work, through simple everyday situations, emphasising the humour or pathos.”

Most noteworthy, availability of Keith Proctor originals is much better since moving publishing house and commissions are now available!
