Jesse Barnes 
Jesse Barnes has spent a lifetime perfecting his craft, always searching for the scene that will inspire his next painting. A self-taught artist, his professional career has spanned for decades. He has created for Ducks Unlimited, Hallmark Cards, and American Field Magazine. His oil paintings of fine detail and lighting effects of Early American scenes transport the viewer into another place and time. Jesse Barnes has painted everything from individual portraits to wildlife to landscapes. Currently, however, Jesse's paintings center mainly around early American nostalgia themes. Jesse is a pioneer in the field of lighting effects and has used and perfected them for over forty years. Today he is truly a master of his trade. In 1983, Jesse Barnes released his first limited edition print entitled THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Since that time, Jesse Barnes has taken us on a magical journey back through time from a snowy 1800's train depot to the corner cafe to a seaside lighthouse providing safe passage to the harbor. We've been to a country carnival, and home for the holidays. Jesse is a self-published artist who, during his professional career, has been ranked as one of America's top 25 artist by USArt Magazine from 1992 through 1997. He has had several limited edition collectors prints voted among the 25 most popular in the country, and in 1998 was elected to the USArt Hall of Fame. Jesse currently resides in Springfield, Missouri. |
