My early childhood experiences were in those MASSIVE FLOWERBEDS that Denver Parks & Rec designed and maintained: GIGANTIC, ARTISTIC, MASSIVE FLOWER GARDENS! (with a childs-eye view in bright sunlight, in SUNKEN GARDENS on Speer Blvd). But since moving to Kansas, I seem to be painting more abstractly with bolder geometric or linear lines, sometimes . . . and definitely less cactus (but I'm still a "flower freak!")
I was fortunate enough to have FOUR years of private group art lessons in Lakewood, Colorado when my two sons were in grade school. Mrs. Jean Grout studied under Anjelo di Benedetto (1913 - 1992) She taught us extensive design principles, color theory and art history which I believe were equal to or exceeded college level courses. She also taught us to see "SPACE THROUGH PATTERNS" or "PATTERNS THROUGH SPACE" which broke my FLAT SPACE style I began at age sixteen. LUCKY, LUCKY me.
I left Colorado for New Mexico, October 2018 (during COVID!) believing the Albuquerque art galleries would love my work (but not one call or email) and THEN I moved to east-central ARIZONA in April 2022 for ONLY 23 months. (I was to pay $150 an hour to devise a 'strategy' for Phoenix art galleries!) SO! My FINAL move was to north-western Saint Francis, KANSAS APRIL 2024 to once again enjoy painting in a full basement studio. My basement art studio is larger than my entire home in Arizona! NO MORE MOVING! My son lives 351 miles from me and needs three knee surgeries so there goes my financial assistance. Oh well. I need a new roof and have to refinance my house to pay for it and add $200 month to my mortgage. I realize my canvases are too expensive so I'm starting to offer 12" x 12" canvases for $200.
Now that I have a SECURE website AND a CART for sales, you can contact me at jerrinotjerry777@gmail.com and simply ask how much for a print (canvas or paper) that you like AND THE SIZE WANTED and I'll call my local print shop, ask him and email you with the price plus postage.
December 2024, I got suspended from Instagram for posting a negative political comment. From July to November 2024, I've been juried into OVER a dozen online art shows and seventeen more in 2025 + an invitation to exhibit a painting in Venice, Italy. PLUS: SOLOS online show of 15 of my paintings at https://www.solos.art and news about my work has been DELETED BY INSTAGRAM where I had almost 2000 followers." So be it... I REFUSE TO USE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA OR A MOBILE PHONE. . . I have email. . .
(THERE'S NO "HONESTY STANDARDS" IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND I BELIEVE IN FACT-CHECKING)
