James Jeffrey Grant
"Gloucester Harbor, MA" - Painting done by Chicago based artist, James J. Grant

About the Item

Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, James Jeffrey Grant was the son of an artist. He began painting at an early age and studied in his native city at the Gray School of Art, on a national scholarship. The Aberdeen Art Gallery exhibited one of his paintings when he was only seventeen years old. Grant moved to Canada in 1904 and worked as an engraver and sign painter. Three years later he arrived in Chicago, where he pursued further studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts (founded in 1902). Until 1920 Grant supported himself as an engraver while continuing to paint. In 1908 he joined the Palette and Chisel Club and he won a gold medal at its 1917 annual exhibition. In 1929, Grant discovered his favorite site for painting: the picturesque fishing town of Gloucester, Massachusetts. He found additional subjects in nearby Rockport and in Charleston, South Carolina; rural Illinois; and Chicago, among other locales.

    Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Landscape view of the Grand Canyon ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting.

Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
