After service in the Navy, Earl attended the Art Students’ League of New York during the 1970s. Since 1981, he has made his home on the Connecticut Shoreline, where he was active in the arts community over two decades. During this time, his works in acrylics, watercolor, pen-and-ink, and graphite appeared in many exhibitions as well as publications. His painting, Portal Under Glass, was featured on the cover of The Artist's Magazine (July 1992).

Killeen's painting, Portal Under Glass, was the cover illustration for the July 1992 issue of The Artist's Magazine. In a feature article, he credits his obsession with painting padlocked doors after seeing a padlocked door in SoHo, which summed up his feelings as a realist in an abstract expressionist art world. A carpenter, in addition to a watercolor artist, he has used this subject as a way to study and record vanishing bits of New England architecture and the passage of time on human built environments. A copy of this magazine accompanies the lot.
