Autumn Maple, oil on linen panel, 8"x16"

This last autumn I went up to Northern Pennsylvania near Ricketts Glen to paint the autumn colors. I ventured to the top of the mountain to see what I could find. Sadly I was too late as most of the trees were already gone, but this one Maple stood out displaying all of its colorful glory. I spent a couple hours doing a field study of this beautiful tree. Back in the studio I recomposed the scene and added a pond in front to show a bit of reflection. This is actually a studio study for a larger painting I intend to create soon. But I'm very pleased at how the study turned out.

Just in case you didn't see my last posting, I will be raising the prices of my paintings sometime after January 1st, 2013. My prices have been consistent for the past few years, and everyone from gallery owners to artists, and even collectors keep telling me my paintings are underpriced. The national awards I have won and magazine editorials on my work also lead to this conclusion. If you have had your eye on a painting, now is the time to buy. There is still time to ship before Christmas. Go to my website www.jasontako.com to see what is available.

2 Seats Left and Price Increases!

I hope that all is well and that everyone is enjoying the approaching of the Christmas and Hannukah season. Collectors and fans of my work will be interested in knowing that I will be raising the prices of my paintings sometime after January 1st, 2013. While my prices have been consistent for a number of years now, I have been told over and over again by artists, gallery owners and collectors that my work is more valuable than what I'm pricing it for. I have also won numerous national awards over the past couple years and had editorials in several national art publications. If you would like to add one of my paintings to your collection, there is still time before the price increase happens. You can go to my website www.jasontako.com, or to my blog www.weeklyoilpainting.blogspot.com/ to see the paintings that are available. My infant son was in the hospital for the last eight months, but now that we are all home again, I will be working on fresh body of new paintings that I'm very excited about creating.

I just got the news yesterday that there are only 2 spaces left for my Wildlife Painting Workshop at the York Art Association which starts January 9th and runs every Wednesday 9am-Noon through March 6th.

Landscape Painting Workshop at Art & Soul

I will be doing another landscape painting workshop this coming spring at Art & Soul Gallery in Lemoyne, PA. The details still need to be worked out, but it will most likely be the third week of March. The workshop I taught at Art & Soul last spring went over really well, and all the students walked away very pleased, with a good amount of knowledge to help them improve and become better painters. The only complain I heard was that they wished the workshop would have been longer. This workshop will be longer and more intense. Keep posted for more details or contact Lyn at Art & Soul 717-761-1270. Space will be limited so call soon.
