We took our granddaughter to see a butterfly release at the beautiful Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. She was thrilled to be there and amazed by the flowers and tremendous variety of butterflies. As she excitedly started to point at one of her favorite butterflies, it actually landed on her finger! Her face lit up like a Christmas tree and I was able to see this wonderful image: a child's pure joy at this special encounter.Her face was, of course, the key element in this painting and I had to get that right, but I had to capture the surprise and excitement of this magic moment. I also loved the flowers and wanted to put i enough of the shapes, the colors, the lights and darks, to suggest the beautiful conservatory setting. I hope looking at this painting makes you smile!~J
Jim is a graduate of West Virginia University. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Art in 1970 and a Master's of Instructional Design in 1977. An artist all of his life, Jim took some instruction with Leland McLelland after moving to Central Ohio at the end of 1977. This was a pivotal time for Jim because he finally learned watercolor techniques which allowed him to illustrate. A realistic interpreter of what he sees, Jim finally felt like he'd found the medium that he could identify with. Though watercolor can be unforgiving, Jim has learned to create beautiful watercolors of the things he loves best. As you view his work you will see some of the same themes: barns, old barns with such character; farmsteads, yes you will see some...
