A little about the artist Byline: Bob Keefer The Register-Guard "Ken Brauner is an unlikely professional artist. He knows about green chains and head rigs as much as he knows composition and color theory. A veteran of World War II, he came home to Oregon and worked in the timber industry for 30 years. Then, with two kids in college, he quit to become a full-time painter. Now 83, Brauner paints scenes of logging - from a generation ago, before men with chainsaws had been replaced in the woods by feller-buncher machines. Born in Corvallis, Brauner started drawing and painting when he was a kid. When he was 11, his grandmother gave him a set of oil paints. When he was 16, he painted a picture of the kneeling Jesus. The painting hangs in his Eugene studio today. His only formal art training came at the University of Oregon, where he was a student for a couple of years after getting out of the Army infantry, which had sent him to the Philippines. He was in a figure drawing class one day at the UO when, struck by the absurdity of a bunch of people standing around drawing pictures of a naked man, Brauner knocked off a slightly ribald cartoon of the model. His teacher didn't approve. "Why don't you go down to Disney?" the teacher grumbled. "That's where they need cartoonists." Brauner switched his major to physical education. In any case, he didn't finish college. He started working in the timber industry, where he held just about every job you can imagine, from pulling a green chain to managing sales."
