Artist Comments
A purple iris blooms against an expressive blue and orange background. Its soft green leaves create contrast against the surrounding, dynamic colors. Artist Jay Jensen reflects on the challenges of using watercolor in this piece, where every stroke balances control and spontaneity. The medium allows Jay to capture the essence of the flower.
About the Artist
Artist Jay Jensen balances realism and imagination in his atmospheric paintings. He has loved drawing since childhood, sketching fish, sharks, and whales on cardboard sheets from his father’s laundered shirts. After studying printmaking in graduate school, Jay stepped away from painting for over two decades to focus on family and work. Now in catch-up mode, he is deeply committed to making each piece as exceptional as possible. “I want to make images that are interesting to look at, both up close and from a distance,†says Jay. He paints in his ninth-floor apartment in Montreal, enjoying the unobstructed views of the skyline and cargo boats on the St. Lawrence Seaway. When not painting, he plays guitar, cycles, and works full-time.
