Kearney portrays various aspects of the city and its suburbs. He gathers a large body of imagery consisting of architecture, perspective and natural lighting. His desire to portray these aspects is based on his impression of the scene at the time of photographing. The urban environment appeals to him because it contains vast amounts of information infinitely being altered through the effects of weather conditions and man's constant obsession with construction and progression. The environment changes our emotions towards the way we look at certain aspects of our lives and surroundings. Kearney tries to capture these emotions and encase them within his paintings.
