Born in Jefferson City, Missouri, in 1936, Jesse Barnes has spent
a lifetime perfecting his craft, always searching for the scene that will inspire his
next painting. At the age of ten, Jesse sold his first original oil painting to the principal
of his elementary school. Since that time, with the support of many loyal patrons, Jesse Barnes has
become one of the country's most renowned artists. Jesse has been painting professionally for over
thirty years, during which time he has painted everything from individual portraits to wildlife and
landscapes. Currently, however, Jesse's paintings center mainly around early American nostalgia
themes with an emphasis on lighting effects.
In 1983, Mr. Barnes released his first limited edition collectors 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. We've been on a moonlit trip down the Mississippi River, and home for the holidays. The professional career of this self-taught artist has spanned nearly three 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. In December of 1983, he released his first limited edition print. Jesse currently resides in Springfield, Missouri. |
