His works are landscape paintings of New England and New York State, whose bright light and calm depicting rejoice splendid qualities of nature, and are connected with Luminism.

The work of Kensett's maturity features relaxing surroundings represented with a additional geometry, culminating in series of paintings in which coastal landscapes are balanced with smooth like glass water. He was broadly applauded and successful during his life.
