Jim Pescott - Painting Nature's Gentle Harmony
Hello and Welcome
Hopefully, you find my treescape paintings filled with quiet, calm, gentle feelings. And that the light touches our soul.
I like nothing more than to connect with the trees around me. This is my artwork source as when I wonder about what to paint, I simply ask the trees.
My painting style is dots, layers and layers of them. This is my self-taught style that may be best described as contemporary pointillism. The dots connect everything with everything.
Over the years, my paintings have been to exhibitions in Italy and France, including six times at the annual jury entry Salon for the Société National des Beaux-Art in Paris at the Carrousel de Louvre. The national Académie Arts-Sciences-Lettres in France (Paris) awarded my paintings a Silver Medal.
I no longer show my paintings in galleries or art exhibitions as I did for many years.
This website allows my artwork global exposure. Here you can view my available original paintings plus a selection of art print options. Free Shipping is available to destinations in Canada.
My Journey
So far, I've been an artist for three decades of the eight I've enjoyed.
When I was very young I knew then that I wanted to be an artist. A childhood memory I have is telling my grade 4 teacher that I wanted to be an artists. A family friend, an artist, encouraged me with a set of paints.
But for many, many years, life got in the way until finally, by age 50, I stepped away from corporate life to become an artist, a landscape painter.
Life again 'got in the way' a couple years ago when a dire circumstance moved me back to employment away from my studio.
It's all good. Life is always changing and over the years I've learned to be versatile. I'm doing what life needs me to do.
I'm an artist in my studio as well as working full-time weekly hours. My focus outside my studio helps people get support for mental health therapy.
After 30 years in Calgary, Alberta, I relocated to Cranbrook in the East Kootenays of British Columbia.
Please reach out to me with any comments or questions.
A note: if you live in the Cranbrook, British Columbia, area, or plan to visit, there is a display of my original paintings at Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe. I hope you can drop by the shapop. You will not be disappointed.
