A Day at the Beach Painting

Artist Bio (South African, Born 1967) Jay was born in the seaport city of Cape Town, South Africa. With its majestic mountains, coastline and vibrant colorful culture, these elements made a distinct impression during his childhood. Jay used his passion for art, capturing the sea and everyday city life, using oils as his medium of choice, he often captures this through an impressionist art style. Constantly drawing as a child, his earliest and fondest moments were sketches and drawings at school. Without formal training, the French impressionists became his teachers. Monet in particular. Preferring full colors and bold painting strokes, Jay uses brilliant colors to capture his style of everyday life.
