I like knowing and being around artists. Their dedication and enthusiasm is infectious and I feel energized just talking with them about their passions.
Bernard Jackson, one of the local artists I'm friends with (https://bernardjacksontheartist.com/), recently completed a series of 10 paintings that depict memories from his youth in South Carolina.
The entire series was acquired by a single collector, and before the pieces were delivered, Bernard asked me to photograph them for his records. I'm sharing just a few of them here.
The bold colors and deep textures in these pieces are amazing, and the entire series tells a vivid story.
Bernard's gallery in South Orange is filled with impressive, large canvasses, with his unique personal style evident in all of them.
