Jack in the News:
Spring 2016: Jack "had fun painting and drawing three large canvases which I volunteered to do for the Cleveland Opera Theatre but was rushed to do in a couple of days. I also supplied other paintings, easels palettes, etc. It was a great experience being behind the curtain working with talented craftsman.
Those that live near Cleveland think about attending their productions, they are very excellent and performed by professionals.
Jack recently helped write a great article about Frank Mason's Prismatic Pallete in Outdoor Painter, the blog of Plein Air Magazine.

Jack was granted Emeritus status with the Akron Society of Artists in the spring of 2013, an award given to only a handful of career artists. Congratulations, Jack!
