I promised more regular posting so I though I'd better deliver. :)

I went on a painting trip to Lincoln City, OR, and this was the first painting, done on the trip down from Seattle. This was probably the first painting I'd done in +4 months, and not only was I rusty, but the conditions were amongst the worst I've painted outdoors: windy and cold (even though sunny).

Still and all, good to shake the cobwebs off.

Here's a pic of my plein air painting rig:

Hello to all!

It's been a while since my last post, and no doubt some of you are wondering where I've been, while others have forgotten who I am entirely...

It's been a very full last few months. The second coming of the Great Depression, A family tragedy, the appearance of a significant Other, returning to a full time day job (see Great Depression Mark 2 mentioned above). I thought that I could keep up a reasonable rate of blog updating, but I was kinda kidding myself.

I think I'm finally ready to return to semi-regular posting-- at least 2-3 times a week. For those of you who have signed up for art in your inbox, be prepared to actually see it arrive again.

For all others, at least the page won't always be the same when you visit.

More soon. Happy summer!

Jason

Chocolate Cake for Two #2 (sold)

Chocolate Cake for Two #2, oil on linen, 5" X 7", 2008

sold

I bought a couple of different pieces of cake to paint-- this is the second kind, not as dark and rich a fudge as the last one. It's also a bit more Thiebaud inspired. Painters who paint pastry and cakes and such today owe a pretty large debt to Wayne for the work he's done...

Welcome NW Source readers...

The online version of the Seattle Times has a piece up in the shopping section about the paintings seen here on the blog. It's always interesting to see what makes it from the interview to the final piece, and I thought it turned out pretty nicely...

Here's a link to the NWSource article...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I don't normally paint animals, especially not pets. Too much pressure! This, however, worked like a charm, 'cause of all the love her human has for her.

Technical Difficulties

Posting is light to nonexistant due to technical difficulties. I'm working to resolve the issue!

In the meantime, please forgive the fact that any and all e-mail replies will be slow for the time being.

While you're looking for art, how about checking out one of the great links on my blogroll?

Thanks!
