John Jaster
Blue Teapot and Roses, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist John Jaster paints a realistic still life of a teapot and flowers. White roses blossom, some with open petals and some still in their colorful buds. The ornate blue and white ceramic pattern elegantly stands out against the green leaves and stems extending toward the edge. John paints a bold black background to illuminate the carefully detailed light and shadow depiction.


About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People 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.
