- 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.

Wonderful job, Jala!
Your work is beautiful, Jala...
I especially like the greens and blues you've used in his skin... They model and make the vignette so interesting to look at!
Jala your portraits are really outrageous. Look at that those colors in the skin...and that edge along his brow and the one at the top of his nose...wow!
Edward - Thank you!
Marian - Thank you. Funny story: In class, I'm now "allowed" to try choosing my own color palette for my work, just because I've been doing this somewhat longer than the other students. Most of the rest of them are still using the starter palette which is easier but not as colorful. Last Wednesday, during this Robbie portrait, one of my classmates looked over and wailed in frustration, "I wanna use HER palette!"
Karen -Thank you. "Outrageous"--hee hee. Love that.
Jala, you have a great instinct for figurative work. More!
Jala,
Your work is simply stunning-I love the color and the brushstrokes of your portraits, and equally am in love with the still life pieces, especially the leaf.
thanks for sharing,
Faye
I agree that you have a way with portraits. Funny, I noticed the vibrant palette right away. The color harmony is wonderful.
