Jim Pescott - Painting Nature's Gentle Harmony
Canadian Landscape Artist | Contemporary Pointillism
Hello and Welcome
Welcome to my world of trees, light and the gentle harmony of nature.
My paintings explore the quiet, calming feelings I experience among the trees. I like nothing more than connecting with the natural world around me. When I wonder about what to paint, I simply ask the trees.
My painting style is dots, layers and layers of them. Over more than 30 years, I've developed my own self-taught approach to contemporary pointillism.
The dots mingle and blend, allowing colours and shapes to connect. Trees become part of the air around them, and the air becomes part of the trees. Everything seems connected with everything.
Over the years, my original paintings have been exhibited internationally, including in Italy and France. I've participated six times in the annual juried Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and my paintings received a Silver Medal from the Académie Arts-Sciences-Lettres in France.
Today, I share my paintings through this website, where you can explore my available original artwork and art prints.
Commissions are also welcome. Every commissioned painting is an opportunity for me to interpret something meaningful through my own artistic expression.
Explore my original paintings, discover available prints, or contact me about a commission.
My Journey
I've been an artist for three decades of the eight I've enjoyed.
My interest in becoming an artist began in childhood, but it wasn't until I reached 50 that I stepped away from corporate life to pursue painting.
Since then, painting has become a continuing exploration of nature, colour, light and the connections between things.
Life has brought changes along the way. Today, I balance time in my studio with full-time work helping people access mental health support through charity fundraising.
After 30 years in Calgary, Alberta, I now live in Cranbrook, in the beautiful East Kootenays of British Columbia.
There's much more to my story, and I share some of it through my blog.
A Note for Visitors to Cranbrook
If you live in the Cranbrook area or plan to visit, you can see a display of my original paintings at Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe.
It's a lovely place to visit, and I hope you'll stop by.
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy spending some time with my paintings.
