Selected Works - John Clayton

Friday, July 31, 2020

John Clayton: "My approach to painting is simple I work with a brush or a palette knife. I start with large masses of color spots and begin relating them one to the other. Until they begin to express what I visually have been studying."

Jerome Greene paints in a style, reminiscent of the great masters of the Provincetown Art Colony. His image, “The Pat-Sea”, was chosen as the official painting of the 2019 Provincetown Portuguese Festival.

Jerome has been involved in the arts since childhood. His late father was commercial artist and professor at Central Connecticut State University and his older brother was a painter and sculptor. His family outings would almost always involve a visit to a museum or a craft show.

Jerome left the trades to pursue his lifelong ambition to become a fine artist and he landed in place that has nurtured artists since the first painter, Charles Hawthorne, opened a school here. He has developed a unique style by studying the Provincetown masters and working with award artists already established in the community. His range of work includes figures, landscape, studio paintings, but his passion remains painting from life, plain air style, in the visually rich peninsula of Provincetown. His work has been feature in many magazines and now is part of many important corporate and private collections.

Jerome Greene lives and maintains a studio in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
