Jubal is excited to present a new series ofpaintings entitled "Visions of Kentucky" collecting over 20 paintings he produced during the months of April, May, and June of 2009. Jubal grew up in Kentucky and has always found it a beautiful, picturesque state, begging to be captured on canvas.
Each painting was performed in the traditional Plein Air style, meaning it was started and finished completely on location. Photo references were not used, nor were any paintings re-worked in the studio. Jubal has done this in an attempt to capture the purity of spirit, mood, and tone of each scene, while also finding enjoyment in the act of creating art within specific environments.
Jubal plans to eventually expand this project into a much bigger series that will focus on all fifty states. After that, he will finish again in the Bluegrass State, because, as they say, there really is no place like home --especially in Old Kentucky!Artist Biography:
