Jerry Salinas
Where to Next, Oil Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
"I have been to many museums and one thing I always see is people taking a break, resting their feet and looking in their guide for where to go next," says Jerry Salinas. "They look like they may want a cool drink in the cafeteria." Jerry used a warm palette with various size brushes to capture the immediacy of this moment in the Uffizi. Jerry notes, "Look at how the brushstrokes move the eye around in a pattern that gets you back to the two on the bench."


About the Artist
Artist Jerry Salinas paints light-filled impressionist portraits of travelers in Europe who are enjoying art, food and culture. Jerry studied illustration and painting at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. After graduation, he went to work as a commercial illustrator for several advertising agencies, which he credits as keeping him in fine art. In the early 2000s, Jerry made a fortuitous move from Chicago to Phoenix. With the help and encouragement of his wife, he transitioned to a career as a full-time painter. Today Jerry works from a bright studio space with surrounding views of Phoenix Mountains Preserve. “You’re welcome to visit, but you may have to sit for a portrait,” he says with a smile. Jerry’s artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of the West in Scottsdale and in gallery shows throughout the United States with the Oil Painters of America and the American Impressionist Society. When he’s not working, Jerry and his wife run a medical mission that brings doctors, nurses and volunteers to northern Mexico.

  • Mod Geisha, Oil Painting
    By Mary Pratt
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Mary Pratt paints an impressionist image of a geisha dressed in a bold striped kimono. The subject leaves her arm outstretched as a tiny bluebird perches on her left hand. An enthralling atmosphere of red surrounded by turquoise engulfs the fanciful background. "Painting the geisha is inspiring to me. The mystery is her allure," says Mary.
