John Jaster
Taking the Long View, Original Painting

2025

About the Item

Artist Comments
Tall pine trees rise from deep rock canyons called hoodoos. The rich orange terrain, the brilliant blue shrubs, and the emerald sparkle of conifer needles capture the landscape’s majestic colors. The painting draws inspiration from the breathtaking beauty of Bryce Canyon National Park.


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.

A vintage Volkswagen bus with a surfboard secured to its roof is parked between palm trees. Just a few steps away, ocean waves ripple as bright clouds gather above. The vibrant colors give the composition a retro feel, perfectly capturing the laid-back spirit of summer.

A farmhouse and barns sit among rolling green hills and tree-lined pastures. Under the warmth of the summer sun, cows graze lazily in the fields. A creek mirrors the blue sky and the rooftops, adding a serene touch to the pastoral scene.
