JBMM12, JBMM, JB11   Title: Meditative Moments
 
  Price: COMMISSIONED
  Size:    
  Medium: Pastel (NuPastel Rembrandt and Sennelier)
  Ground: Wallis Belgian Mist and White paper
  Comments: With the Signature Piece Tucson Open Studio Tour - 2006
already in the client's collection, this commission was fulfilled with the request:
"…in pastel shades, allow me to escape into it…." A Monetesque image offset
by the artist's insertion of the Malachite Kingfisher on the right, turning
it into a unique African expression. The ability to 'escape' was facilitated
by the sparseness of detail in the middle module.  
Collection: Beth Harrison, PhD., Ohio.
JB012   "Rowboat in Reeds."   Price: $5,300
  Size: 36" x 15"
  Medium: Oil
  Ground: Board
  Comments: Down at the vlei, Zeekoeivlei [the marshland of the hippopotamus]
near Cape Town, a fisherman has beached his boat. The renown South African Impressionist,
David Botha, created a similar image at a similar location (Langebaanweg) back
in the 1960's. This was created from a photographic reference.

JB014   Title: 'Zeekoeivlei' (The Marsh of the Hippopotamus) near Cape Town.
  Price: $1,500   Collection: The Artist.
  Size: 32" x 15"
  Medium: Oil.
  Ground: Board
  Comments: Zeekoeivlei is a wonderful bird-watching site.  
This image was created from memory, colours are not that exaggerated.   Used
as a study for Rowboat in Reeds.

JB17   Title: IANDS Pastel Virginia Beach.
 
  Price: SOLD.
  Size: Size? How large is a large pizza box?
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Wallis White paper.
  Comments: This spur of the moment image, was created at the IANDs
Conference, Virginia Beach in 2006.

JB033   Title: The Marmot Hole - Sabino Canyon.
 
Price: $575.00
  Size: 20" x 14"
  Medium: Sepia Ink
  Ground: Fabriano 140lb paper
  Comments: Sitting lunching, munching in the desert, a raggedy, chaotic old
thorn-bush and a mysterious rodent's hole caught the artist's attention.   Then
followed studies of the bush, then studies of the rodent's hole, then the desert,
and finally, this image received the acclaim it deserved... from numerous
instructors at the University of Arizona.

JB053   Title: Study - Waterlillies.
 
  Price: $275
  Size: Approximately 12" x 30"
  Medium: Pastel on acrylic wash
  Ground: Canson Mi-Teintes paper
  Comments: Study for Open Studio 06 Signature Piece.

JB019   Title: Early Waterlillies
 
  Price: NFS
  Size: 12" x 20"
  Medium: Acrylic
  Ground: Board
  Comments: The very first image created upon arriving in Tucson,
Arizona. Possibly drawn to the longing for water and green of the Eastern
Seaboard.   Collection: The artist.

JB022   Title: West of Old Baldy Madera Canyon
 
  Price: $375
  Size: 16" x 22"
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Wallis Belgium Mist paper
  Comments: Having nearly reached the top of Old Baldy, before darkness
forced the party off, this image was created the next day with vows of
reaching the summit!   The texture and colours of both the grasses and the foothills
especially appeal.

JB002   Title: The Veldt - near Madera Canyon
 
  Price: $275
  Size: 17" x 24"
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Canson Mi-Teintes paper
  Comments: The beauty of Madera Canyon is known throughout the
Southwest,if not beyond.   Inside the canyon is one thing; however,
this image was created near a friends' hacienda at the mouth of the canyon.

JB029   Title: Where Two Fences Meet on 4th Avenue.
  Price: $620.00
  Size: 16" x 22"
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Wallis Belgium Mist
  Comments: Until this image was created, the serene beauty of this
location and the cool amidst the desert heat, perplexed the artist.   The residence
in the distance, is hardly apparent, obscured by the gnarled old mesquite tree
and cool green vegetation, and the fact that two styles of fences are brought
together on the corner, under the tree.

JB025   Title: Memories of Equatorial Sunset on the Veldt - Zimbabwe
 
  Price: $378
  Size: 16" x 22"
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Wallis Belgium Mist
  Comments: The African sunset is usually spectacular, closer to
the equator, even more so. The colours of the grasses in the veldt (prairie)
radiate the warmth, danger and drama of Mother Afrika.

JB31   Title: Cactus in Alleyway II
 
Price: $375
  Size: 16" x 22"
  Medium: Pastel
  Ground: Wallis Belgium Mist
  Comments: A more representational rendition of cactus in an alleyway in
Armoury Park, Tucson.

JB052   Title: The Old Mesquite on Mountain Avenue
 
Price: NFS
  Size: 18" x 28"
  Medium: Acrylic
  Ground: Canvas
  Comments: One of the artist earlier works in Tucson. The colours and the
aridness were especially appealing at that time ...they still are.
  Collection: The artist
