"The joy and delight expressed in these pictures convey an authentic experience in seeing and painting." |

Peter Selz, Professor Emeritus of Art History University of California at Berkeley |

| "My paintings celebrate nature. The
colorful works are not easy to ignore and I hope that those who view
them will see the landscape in a new and more intense way. The
paintings are the result of my emotional reaction to the scene and my
intellectual reaction to our threatened environment. I hope they will
touch, influence and give pleasure to many people."
Jack Stuppin
On March 28, 2007, Jack Stuppin was interviewed by Molly Barnes for her ARTINQUIRY program titled "The Art of Jack Stuppin". Click here to view a video of the program. Many of the paintings were executed en plein air. Because of the limitations imposed by climatic conditions, the paintings done outdoors are generally smaller than what can be done in the studio. Click here to view a video demonstrating my en plein air painting technique. Starting in 2001, Jack
has used some en plein air paintings as inspiration for larger
oils that he rendered in the studio. Twelve of the studio paintings were
exhibited in a one person show Where Land Meets Art at the Sonoma County
Museum in 2002. These paintings are in Galleries 1 and 2 under
Oils. Mark Van Proyen's essay
Enchanted Landings discusses this show and may be read under About
Jack.
As an introduction to this essay Jack wrote: There are other oil paintings illustrated in Galleries 3 and 4 under Oils. |
