MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents "Vintage Trucks
and Tractors," a retrospective of paintings from Jerry's early years
exhibiting at the Portola Art Gallery.
Jerry has a special fondness for painting old trucks and tractors in
rural settings, blending the beauty of nature with the character and
history of battered vehicles. He explains: "I love painting vintage
trucks and tractors left outdoors in their retirement years -- their
life stories must be fantastic. I try to capture that feeling in my
paintings."
Jerry's love of painting began after retiring from the fire service in
1996. He spent 30 years as a firefighter, the last ten as a Battalion
Chief in the Menlo Park Fire Protection District. His career drove his
early work in acrylics, which featured fire engines, fire helmets and
fire scenes.
For the past 25-plus years, Jerry has specialized in portraits,
landscapes, and still life paintings. In addition to his vintage
trucks, Jerry often paints from photographs taken during his travels.
His work includes scenes from France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Egypt,
Greece, England and Turkey, as well as from across the U.S. and Canada.
Jerry explains that painting from photographs has allowed him to
explore new challenges and work on different techniques. Throughout his
artistic career, he has accepted numerous commissions for portraiture
and landscapes.
