Jayne Rose

Pears, 30" x 30", oil on gessobord, No frame needed, $900

"Pears" was a finalist in the 2008 Artist Magazine competition...no award, but a mention in the Dec. issue.

Jayne Rose is a contemporary painter in the realism style. But she doesn't let one style hold her from trying other methods. Her landscapes are decidedly more impressionistic than her still lifes and floral. However, all of her work is marked by her use of bright, saturated colors in both oils and acrylics."
