JIM FOOTE

"I have been painting all of my adult life and then some. Acrylic and oils, mostly. My latest adventure has been exploring the color, patterns, and textures of a single tree this autumn. Trees may have been my first painting subject and I am happy to return there. Working within a theme, 5 paintings large and small from different perspectives have emerger, and I have found a great connection. I hope you will see what I mean and enjoy it as much as I do."

JIM FOOTE

"For me, painting is a meditation; the physical act of applying paint to the canvas with a brush (or fingers), moving paint, mixing colors, playing with sculpting the image. It's a balancing act keeping the finished painting in mind while letting go enough to get there. This is having you cake and eating it, too. Painting with friends, plein air or figure drawing is another joy on this journey and the icing on the cake!"

Jim Foote is a Northern Vermont artist. He continually studies art techniques through research and experimentation. Jim credits his artistic spark to his grandmother, who encouraged his interest and skills at a very early age. His media of choice is oil painting, but he is also a wood carver and enjoys creating painted wood sculptures. Most recently, he has explored digital art through Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, and Maxon Cinema 4D. His work reflects a keen eye for color, sunlight, and shadow. This summer he has enjoyed Plein air painting with friends using pastels.

Jim Foote is a long time resident of Northern Vermont and calls it his home. At age 5, the spark for art was given to Jim by his grandmother who encouraged him by always hanging his pictures on her refrigerator. While almost anything could a subject for a painting, Jim considers color, sunlight, and shadows key. Flowers that he grows and cares for at home are of particular interest to him for their never-ending variety of patterns and colors.Jim has studied art through books and lots of trial and error. His desire and passion for creating are what motivates him to continue to learn new techniques. Jim's medium of choice today is acrylic painting. Working mostly from photographs, he has recently begun using Photoshop, Painter, and Cinema4D to get ideas down to help his paintings evolve. He also creates complete digital art pieces.Woodcarving is another medium which he has used, creating beautiful painted wood sculptures; however, he is not creating woodworks at this time even though the love for carving is still strong. Jim's paintings are intricately detailed and elegant, and produce an effective and lovely depiction of the Northeast woodlands and lifestyle.
