About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist John Jaster paints a relaxing summer day with waves crashing just beyond the warm shore. A bicycle leans against a bench, where between the bench slats, a girl in a bathing suit can be seen texting, her backpack in the sand below. A palm tree, directly behind the bench, spreads its green and gold fronds above her, cutting shadows into the white sand.
About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "Peopale always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths may seem unrelated, John says his work in software strongly influences his artwork in terms of distilling complex systems without losing the magic and wonder. Today, John works from a large home studio with a fireplace, lots of natural light, and jazz playing in the background. Since 2010, John’s paintings have been displayed in over 90 juried exhibitions and published in leading art magazines and books.

- Pink Trees, Original PaintingBy Janet DyerLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer presents a panoramic scene flourishing with pink blossoming trees. "I love painting trees in spring," shares Janet. She captures the beauty of a grove nearby a parking lot. The expressive paint application builds up the atmosphere of the wind rustling through the leaves.About the Artist
Janet Dyer doesn’t like to spend too much time talking about her art, as she’d rather be creating it. She doesn’t have an artist statement, the traditional statement of purpose crafted by visual artists to explain their method. On becoming an artist, Janet simply states, “I picked up some crayons and pencils and brushes and kept using them.†She believes the process of creating art is equal in importance to the final product. The artist enjoys relinquishing control of her paintings to find delightful surprises in her so-called “mistakes.†Janet's expressively gestural yet bucolic landscapes are a testament to the success of her method.Words that describe this painting: landscape, spring, blossoms, trees, panoramic, small, woods, grove, acrylicpaint, impressionism, landscape, acrylic painting, green
