I started this piece in January 2009, following a particularly fun visit to New York (Way back when you could still drive through Times Square) . Although I didn’t have time to finish it in one studio session, I worked on it a little at a time all year. It’s nice to see it finally…

It’s been a busy year and I’ve not had all the studio time I wanted, but have stolen the last month to stretch myself artistically and reach for something completely different. This idea has been rattling around my head for a while and I just had to unleash it this holiday season. I am reminded…

In a room full of artists you'd expect a load of originality. I gave them all the same project to work on, same building and same perspective. The different approach each artist took to this demo was impressive. Their artistic voices came out loud and clear! Great work y'all!

I always have fun in Baton Rouge! The food is way too good, and the friends here are way too much fun. This is one of the most talented, hardest working and most entertaining bunches of artists I've ever encountered. They make us feel like family. We can't possibly get back to Baton Rouge often…

My workshop friends in Baton Rouge had a ball with this demo. It was challenging for all, and barely completed in time. We raced to a big finish on Sunday afternoon. My demo painting was a fight, but I was pleased with the results. We had so much fun in our cavernous ballroom studio that…

Whenever you find yourself in the vicinity of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, stop in to the Walter Anderson Museum and see the works of one of my inspirations. Anderson painted some of the most incredible watercolors on typing paper. He spent much of his time on Horn Island, off the coast of MS. I too spent…

Great group of participants! Very talented, colorful and expressive! We had a grand weekend painting a glass still life, ate way too much good food, and wore ourselves out on Halloween candy! I can never get to Pensacola often enough!

“Stalking Monet” 40×26″ watercolor by Paul Jackson. Having just spent a wonderful workshop adventure in France and afantastic time in Monet’s Gardens in Giverny, I couldn’t wait to getback in the studio and translate my love for this magical place. Enjoy!
