Nuance of Changes
Whenever I start to feel attached to a painting, I think of this one. I painted several backgrounds before settling on this one, and each time it changed, it grew farther away from being finished. It took me over a year to decide on this one. I've grown attached, it's still not finished and I miss the other versions. #art #paintings #jaygarfinkle #surrealism #acrylic #symbolism


The BEAR HUG
In October of 2013, two people lost their lives at Sparks Middle School in Nevada. I was asked to donate something in an effort to lift the spirits of the students and faculty. This was my gift. Later the school added a beautiful frame and it hangs in the entry way of the school. It's a great honor for me. #sparksbearhug #jaygarfinkle
