THE PAINTINGS OF JERRY BLANK

W E L C O M E

I love impressionism. I love a painting that looks finished, with details and full of motion but when we look at it closely, what we see are just a bunch of loose brushstrokes that sometimes just looks like an abstract. That’s how I paint. With a lot of texture and color, I’ve found a style that works for any subject or genre that I choose to capture on canvas.

My serious journey into painting really started with a year-long sabbatical in Paris. I had put a thirty-five-year graphic design career on hold and moved to the City of Lights to paint, travel, speak a little French and drink the wine.  Returning to the US with fifty-three paintings, I made a commitment to fine art. That year was 2000 and now nearly a quarter of a century later, I’m still putting paint on canvas every day. I consider it a joy and privilege to be an artist. The journey continues…

Here’s a collection of many of my paintings. Please enjoy.
