What do Peggy Lee, Mrs. Norton Simon, Ed Mac Mahon, Connie Stevens, the late President Lyndon B. Johnson, Cary Grant, and J. Edgar Hoover have in common? They are among scores of celebrities who have purchased paintings by the incomparable Southern California Artist, Connie King. Best known for her poignant portraits of children at play and her lovely, lusty nudes, King's work runs the gamut from serene seascapes and garden scenes to provocative figure studies and electrifying impressions of athletes at peak performance. Proficient in acrylics, watercolors and pastels, Connie King brings much more than simple skill to her work. Whether she is composing a detailed floral miniature or capturing the action of a championship fight on a near life sized canvass, emotion seems to flow from her brush, mix with her paints and burst from her finished work to provoke a positive response in her audience. Joy passion, determination, innocence and delight are as easy to find in a Connie King painting as the vibrant colors she selects.
