About Jala
- Jala Pfaff
- Boulder, CO, United States
- I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

So real! Are they organic?
You are an artsy rock star!
This is beautiful, Jala. You've really captured the feeling of the clementines wonderfully. I can practically smell them and can easily imagine unpeeling and eating them! Your shadows are great - those dark areas of fruit are always the hardest for me when I'm working on fruit - especially with oranges or tangerines. Thanks for adding a link to my blog - I've added yours to my blog as well. I've also been enjoying your website - you certainly have lots of interests!
Haiku Husband - gracias. Sorry, not organic. :(
Brian - thank you. Can I just tell you how freakin' long it took me to get that shadow part on the fruit right? God. It was so frustrating. In the end, I think I got it right, but man, I had to redo that area SO many times! Thanks for visiting my website, too. Yep, TOO many interests! :)
Super realistic! Even each dent in the skin is there. And the highlight has the texture of the Clementine's skin. Whoa!
I love the name too.
Loriann - Thanks. I get the song stuck in my head all the time: Oh my darlin', oh my darlin'.... It was really fun to do the highlights. You can't tell in the photo, but they're almost a light turquoise hue. Though the highlights were fun to do, they took several tries to get them to look natural, for some reason.
oh my darlin'...i thought she was talking about the husband. turned out to be 2 clementines instead. sigh!
