Intro Blog



 Hello


My name is Jill, I currently reside in Phoenix Arizona. Up until December 2021 I resided in Tok Alaska after coming to Alaska in 2017 for employment. I was working for Princess Holland America.

 I am the proud mother of 3 boys. Brent, Codey and Jeremy. My eldest Brent being the artist in the family has always captured my attention. 

The artwork I am posting in this blog are the creations he created throughout a ten-year time span. I believe his progress is defiantly noticeable as he started off with a number 2 pencil and proceed to draw on cloth. This Vikings drawing actually gained a 1st place and best in category award at the Orange County Fair in California. I myself am not very artistic, although I do feel I have a good appreciation for art. The second photo is actually an oil painting my son created of his wife, the lion in the picture represents her astrological sign, Leo.

                                                                            






 I hope you all enjoy the first submission and that we all get it on the first second or even 3rd try

    Tok to Phoenix is a huge cultural shift, not to mention climate. Thanks for sharing your son's work. Creative and beautiful.

    Hi Jill, thank you so much for sharing! I wish I had even a quarter of the ability your son does, I can draw stick people and that is about it! Do you think your son will pursue an art degree? They are truly wonderful pieces of art, he should consider it.

    Hi Jill! Your son is really talented. You seem to be a busy momma with work and 3 boys. I bet Phoenix is nice when Alaska is negative forty. It was nice read a little about you.

I find that the portrait captures the eye with all its elegance, the child is being served by several female attendants who appear to have her livelihood in their hands. She is certainly the center of attention, it's like she has a captive audience. The setting is obviously showing us that she is of a royalty of sorts, the clothing alone depicts that she certainly is more than just a common folk. I find it interesting that the artist also included himself in the portrait.  The portrait/painting is not necessarily something I would purchase, although I do admire its qualities  Some of his famous artworks include  The Supper at Emmaus  (1618 – 1623),  The Surrender of Breda  (1635),  Portrait of Juan de Pareja  (1650),  Portrait of Innocent X  (1650), and  Las Meninas  (1656), the latter of which is one of the most famous artworks by the artist due to the strategic rendering of compositional elements like space, color, perspectiv...
