Eric Jacobsen on what went into the making of this show:

"Last winter Kevin approached me with the idea of putting together a family show which would feature work by me and also by my three oldest children, Max, Olivia and Owen. I thought about this proposition and then mentioned it to my kids who immediately loved the idea.

When the weather finally turned to spring and painting outdoors became more tolerable, I began bringing the kids out to paint on a regular basis- something they've done in past years and enjoyed greatly. This spring and summer they painted often and with great enthusiasm as they worked toward our "family show". Whenever I'd grab my things and head out the door to paint I'd have at least one kid begging to go along with me. Some days I'd bring one or all three kids along and other days I informed them that for various reasons Daddy needed to go out alone that day.

As we worked our way through the spring and summer seasons I could see these young painters improve. I was continually amazed by what each of them would come up with. At times I would coach them a bit and talk with them about value(light and dark) and color. We'd often decide together what the specific value and hue a distant hill was- or a tree- or a cloud. The curious thing is that while I assumed the role of "teacher" - the one handing out knowledge about the fundamentals of good painting- I ended up receiving as much of an education as my kids did. In looking at their work I was reminded over and over again that it's the simple bold statement that packs the biggest punch in painting. As the great painter and teacher Charles Hawthorne said, " In painting it's all for one thing." My kids seemed to already know this and now I know it. Thank you Max, Olivia and Owen!

The paintings in this exhibit are the result of our journey together as family and fellow painters. I hope you find the joy in them that we found as we wondered at Gods creation with brush in hand. "

-Eric Jacobsen- October 2011
