Does a painter need Persistence? Jackie Afram answers

I asked the artists at the Gallery Underground whether they needed to be persistent as an artist.  We got a variety of answers about being tested and thwarted but emerging triumphant in the end.

Our first featured artist Jackie Afram shares that the geometry of a mobile phone shot can sometimes be tricky to capture!   Jackie tells us "These two paintings were done from  cell phone photos a friend took while visiting Paris last fall.  It was difficult to catch all the angles in the Tuileries gardens.  The first is a contrast of Blues and  Yellows and the second a contrast of greens and oranges.

 They are titled "Jardin des Tuileries por Nuit" and "Jardin des Tuileries por Jour".  Since they are done in impressionistic style, I framed them in deep gold frames. "

I am sure the frames set these classical paintings off beautifully!
