About the Item

"Long Long Way From Home" (1999) by Jann T. Bass is an original handmade oil painting that depicts two chickens walking towards a house on a grey hill. This painting measures 14 x 14 inches framed and is ready to hang. An avid traveler of the American West, Jann captures shadows across the moon, barnyard fowl, wildlife such as geese and sandhill cranes, infinite horizons, pristine skies, and blinding light. The moods of her painting range from isolation and loneliness to exhilaration, and many of her works are loaded with symbolism relative to chasing the demons of silence. She was born in Hobbs, New Mexico, and grew up in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1965, after studying at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. In Washington DC, she worked on the staff of Colorado Senator Gordon Allott, while studying at the Corcoran. In 1968, she set aside her plans to become an interior designer in Denver to become a fine artist, exploring the mediums of watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, gouache and mixed media, which for her is often a mixture of watercolor and pastel. Of that combination, she says: "Combining media allows me to be very free with watercolor, overstating values and intensifying colors because I know that the opacity of pastel can subdue, or even intensify any part of the underpainting. She has taught privately and at the Art Students League in Denver, where she has also donated paintings to charitable causes including the Channel Six Auction and the Colorado Alliance of Business. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including "Southwest Art," "Western Art Digest," and "Artists Magazine." The New York Graphic Society printed her painting of sandhill cranes titled "Whitherward," which appeared in the movie "Rainman" with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. For her subject studies, she sometimes uses black and white photos and later makes up the colors, but she also does plein-air work, where she is committed to first hand response to the landscape. She loves the colors she sees and usually starts working around eleven in the morning and finishes mid-evening.
