statement

Most of my work is a journey, as well as statement of my surroundings. Things happen all around us all the time, whether we acknowledge them or ignore them are always up to us.


I try to record some of mine, but life moves so fast, I just can't get them all, I attempt to nail down a certain Idea, feeling, something I have seen, or story I've been told, an experience that has made a lasting impression..... We all have similar pleasures and fears I attempt to come clean, without spelling everything out, I would rather you try to figure some of these things out, come up with your own conclusion, to have you pay more attention to your own world.


At one point or another we all end up in one of my paintings, what you see here, could help you decipher where you are, where you have been, and where you are going.



Not all of it is pretty.

Impressive work, jb! I just love the atmosphere of both the painting and the photos.

I think you managed to capture the mystery of the place. I have not been there myself, but it feels like I am there when I look at your work.

Jenny...
Thank-you,
there is a quiet tension there at all times, its a good one, not a bad one.
as for the paintings I had to turn my back and paint my mind... there's just too much detail to try to grab.
thanks again

Nice paintings, especially the "Cooking Cabin," and a cozy looking studio. Glad you made it back! ;-)

jbkrost said...

A.D......
thanks, yeah the cooking cabin was the funnest of the lot...
there is a constant fear of fire there, we have no running water, electric, or any thing that would put out a fire except a bucket of water...
glad you like
