About the Item
Artist Comments
Pueblo Indian pottery is one of my favorite types of ceramics. I greatly admire the simple shapes combined with bold designs and and earth tones. The pottery reminds me of the vibrant indigenous cultures which existed in the southwestern United States long before Europeans invaded the America. The unwrapped image is a metaphor for my delight when I discovered the art of the Pueblo Indians. This piece is on heavyweight paper and will need a frame for display.

- Bowl of Grapes, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist John Jaster portrays a fresh display of red and green grapes with a ripe pomegranate placed in a glass bowl. Set above a patterned table cloth, the glass reflects light and vibrant hues of pink that surrounds it. Bunches of grapes nest in the cloth's loose crease reminiscent of tiny bird eggs. The dark background highlights the scene completing the composition.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.Words that describe this painting: grapes, glass, bowl, pomegranate, tablecloth, still life, fruits, cloth, pop, acrylicpaint, pop, still life, acrylic painting, pink
