Press Release Body = Pueblo, Colorado--January 4, 2006 - Still life paintings
present challenges to artists in significant ways. Sometimes, this type of fine art
painting lacks the realism, detail and luminous colors found in the actual subject
matter. Studying values, sculpting forms and creating illusions are some of the
still life artist's daunting tasks.

Because as Sir Francis Bacon once observed, "We cannot command Nature except by
obeying her." Colorado artist, Jane Jones, wisely employs both underpainting and
glazing techniques to create "colors that glow with an inner radiance." "As artists", Jones maintains, "we are so quickly attracted and entertained by color."
"It's the focus of our lives!"

In a workshop being held March 20 through 24, 2006, noted artist, Jane Jones, will
show the inexperienced and professional artist how she achieves that beautiful glow
of realistic qualities in her oil-based still life paintings.
