"The Crescent Hotel, built in 1938, is one of the famous Art Deco buildings in Miami's South Beach," shares artist John Jaster. He pictures the historical architecture in bright hues, memorably capturing the era. The building stands charmingly with light blue, yellow, and green pastel colors, continuous rounded corners, ribbed columns, and the famous neon crescent sign. John credits the architect Henry Hohauser, who built several iconic hotels that give Miami Beach its art deco flair.

Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths may seem unrelated, John says his work in software strongly influences his artwork in terms of distilling complex systems without losing the magic and wonder. Today, John works from a large home studio with a fireplace, lots of natural light, and jazz playing in the background. Since 2010, John’s paintings have been displayed in over 90 juried exhibitions and published in leading art magazines and books.

I recently acquired John Jaster's "Mountain Solitude" and I am deeply in love with this piece. I find myself seating quietly and admiring the painter's attention to detail, the colors and the general beauty of the painting. I will love this Impressionist painting forever.
