4″ x 4″ Miniature Acrylic Painting
by LPAPA Invitational Artist Jed Dorsey
Camano Island, Washington

Jed likes how light changes objects, from garbage cans, to buildings, to plants and trees, creating shadows and diverse colors. One of his favorite subject matters to paint is filtered sunlight shining through trees onto a road, river, sidewalk, or path. It is an invitation to the viewer. He paints landscapes and cityscapes because he has lived in both rural and urban spaces. Jed sees beauty in both. Whether he’s painting on location or painting from a photograph, he creates the scene in a way that he finds aesthetically pleasing. He does not want to just duplicate a photograph.
