Original Framed Charcoal Drawing on Textured Illustration Board by Jacob Secrest

***Special Collection***

“When I was 5, my folks recognized my interest in art and got me a little book about Monet, which is still one of my favorite books. They’d take me to art museums, enroll me in art classes, and buy me various supplies as my interests and knowledge changed. Over the years, they’ve collected many of my favorite paintings, including watercolors and some of what I consider my “Early Works” that I did around 2003-2004 when I was about 18-19 years old, before I went over 10 years without painting anything, and before I ever imagined being able to do art for a living.

Since my dad retired a few years ago, they’ve gone on a mission trip and travelled visiting grandkids, and they recently realized it may be a while before they settle in a permanent location. They decided they wanted to give these paintings back to me to sell since they didn’t want these paintings just sitting in storage without anyone being able to view and enjoy them.

I’ve had these pieces back for just a few weeks now and going through each of them has brought back so many great memories of the location in the painting, where I was when I painted it, or things I was experiencing at the time of each piece.”

Having suppressed painting for many years in pursuit of my education and supporting a young family, I have rekindled my love for art when I painted an “Umbrella Girl” painting for my daughter and saw the joy and excitement in her eyes.
