Frederick, or Fred Jinkins, as he is known to his many friends, has established a following as a great artist of distinction in many art forms over a period of several years. He's my very special friend and colleague, a prolific creator who has deftly refined his skills at creating in photography, watercolor, oil, and digital art. His artwork has been featured in many art shows and galleries. He has been a student of some well known and nationally known artists in the US. His artwork and photography have been in several galleries and published around the world.
I'm very pleased to announce that my painting, Vision Quest, was personally chosen today by a very distinguished fellow artist, Frederick Jinkins, to be featured on his popular Fine Art America group page. It's a very special group devoted to art by many multi-talented artists. They work in a variety of media. The purpose of this group is to assemble the artwork of artists whose goal is to paint or to create other forms of artwork each and every day.
See my painting, Vision Quest, at the art group, We Paint Every Day, and also see the fabulous work of many other artists, including the work of this Group's creator, Frederick Jinkins.
Once you land on the page, you can view more by clicking on the artwork. It will take you to details on the particular piece. Or, use the tabs at the top to find out more about group members, and perhaps even to join the group.

From my personal point of view, the characteristic that strikes anyone immediately about Frederick is how steadfast and unshakable is his gentle, friendly approach to all people and everything within his reach. His wonderful outlook gives so many artists and non-artists alike a renewed sense of hope and inspiration. People gravitate to him and his work for this reason. Besides being obviously due to his strong talent and high level of professionalism, his delight in spreading joy is another big reason that his artistic influence continues to extend itself far and wide.
All of his work embodies the expression of Fred's deep love for life. He often emphasizes that his purpose is to show the happy side of life. What a great example to us all on how to truly live! But don't be misled into thinking that such behavior is in any way a sign of weakness, which it definitely is NOT. This man is a Titan! His gentle and kindly ways arise from great inner reserves of strength, He has reached his mature years a very well-traveled man, a quietly sophisticated leader who is very highly respected by all his peers.

My approach to artwork as a source of healing has just been published as an article on 1stAngel Arts Magazine's blog. This is an internet arts magazine headed by artist/author, 1stAngel editor and founder Elizabeth Edwards. 1stAngel has attracted a large following not only in the UK, but internationally, due to Beth's dedication to spreading the word about the arts globally. See the full article here.
I used my dragon as an example of my artwork, but my philosophy as detailed in the article applies to everything I create. I always feel better the next day after spending a large portion of my time immersed in creating artwork. Sometimes it's a challenge juggling life with the "Work", but I've been blessed that no matter what else happens, nothing ever really interferes with my drive to create. I move between mediums. During different phases, I might paint pictures on canvas, create 3D objects of clay, design and make wire wrapped jewelry, or study and practice at some new medium which captivates me. This keeps the flow of creative inspiration fresh. Ideas flood my mind faster than I'm able to carry them out. I keep many sketches and notes so that when a new block of time arrives, I can refer to my records if I need help deciding which creative direction to take next.

I've just created another one of my fantasy mugs. This dreamy ocean fantasy scene will send you to a happy, relaxing place as you sip your favorite beverage. The vivid, blue-green colors harmonize beautifully against splashes of vibrant reds and oranges. The soft, flowing, white swirls of sea water almost merge into the fine layers of the priestess's robe, providing a peaceful background rhythm, like a healing song in 3-D. Here's how to access it. This will take you to my Zazzle store which is not on this website. Before you click below, open a new browser window or a new tab in your current window, and copy this current URL into it to save your place here. http://www.artbyjoycejackson.com/1/post/2012/09/sea-priestess-mug.html In all, there are 3 large panels, all identical reproductions of "Sea Priestess", my watercolor painting on illustration board. Makes for easy viewing from any angle. Customize options are available if you want to personalize the mug.
Sleeping Dragon Innards Paper and tape model of the inner support structure for a clay dragon sculpture. No wings yet. Head will be enlarged. Scissors give idea of scale. Right now it looks like the stuffing for a soft sculpture. I think I'll seal it with water resistant acrylic spray before I start putting the outer layer of clay on it. The tail will be longer. Scales and other details will be added later. It's already too big for my kiln. I'll have to divide it up into sections that can be reassembled. I'll make a mold of it. I'll use the mold to make the final sculpture in clay or cement. Both do OK in a latex mold. This will be made available as a garden sculpture. My first one goes to my friend Lis who owns Sleeping Dragon Farm. Nice match for each other, aren't they? |
