The Art of Jerry M Demorest

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY GALLERY.  I HOPE YOU WILL VISIT AGAIN AS I ADD NEW PAINTINGS ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOME OBSERVERS ASK WHAT I AM TRYING TO EXPRESS WITH A PARTICULAR PAINTING.  I LOVE THIS INQUIRY BECAUSE IT GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT MY PAINTING AND MAYBE LEARN A NEW TECHNIQUE OR AT LEAST MAKE A NEW FRIEND.  FIRST OF ALL, MOST OF MY CREATIONS DO NOT REFLECT REALITY.  ALTHOUGH YOU MAY RECOGNIZE A PARTICULAR CELL OR ELEMENT, THE WHOLE OF THE PAINTING DOES NOT RESEMBLE A LANDSCAPE, SEASCAPE, CITYSCAPE, SUNSET, CLOUD FORMATION, PLANE, TRAIN OR AUTOMOBILE, NUDE, STILL LIFE, ANIMAL, BIRD ...ETC.   EACH PAINTING INVITES THE OBSERVER TO CONNECT THE WHOLE IMAGE OR A PARTICULAR PART WITH SOMETHING IN THEIR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCE.   I FEEL EACH PAINTING IS EXCITING VISUAL POETRY .  IMAGINE ONE OF MY PAINTINGS ON THE WALL BETWEEN A COLLECTION OF REALITY PAINTINGS.  WHICH ONE STANDS OUT AND RECEIVES THE MOST ATTENTION?   IT IS SIMILAR TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ENTERING THE ROOM IN A RED DRESS.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CRITIQUE ANY OF MY PAINTINGS AT THE PLACE PROVIDED BELOW.  I LIKE SERIOUS FEEDBACK, GOOD, BAD, OR INDIFFERENT.
