ABOUT ME
After suffering poor health, I was forced into disability/retirement. My youngest son encouraged me to paint as therapy - I paint daily as I listen to jazz and it helps trump depression. I study oil painting with two professional painters. One of my goals is to become a proficient plein air painter. I have entered several shows. I entered my painting School Days in the Intermountain Society of Arts' Fall Show and received an Honorable Mention. I was accepted into the Bountiful/Davis Art Center Statewide Competition (only 99 out of 409 submissions were accepted). I also recently received a third place award for the painting Bitterroot River North. Finally, I exhibit at the gallery, Art at the Main in Salt Lake City.

Hi Jerry,


We chatted on this site back in Feb. of 2008 and thought I'd visit again. Wow, your hard work, study, and practice are really paying off. Beautiful artwork and it's great that you are winning awards and are in a gallery. An inspiration to us all! Have fun.

Everyday you should thank your son for encouraging you to paint. Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have your art? I do have a favorite out of all your pieces and it's "Wheeler Farm II" The colors really drew me in.

Hi Jerry,


Isn't live amazing?  Had it not been for your misfortune, you may never have discovered your great talent as an artist.  You are an inspiration to all of us, and I thank you for that.

Thanks for the visit!  I'm taking an oil painting class now but I'm afraid I'm not so good with it.  But I'm hoping that once I get mixing colors down, I'll be able to do it.


Your paintings are terrific!  And keep up the good work.

You say that you painted after experiencing disability?  I am impressed with your painting compositions...you must have had latent ability to paint and draw all your life.  Very nice collection of work in your gallery here...and I really enjoy the sunflowers that you submitted today... but they are one weird flower when you think about it...edible bunches of seeds in a huge brown middle with these yellow things jutting out all around the disc.  Just....weird!
