Red is Jasper's trademark. Not the first to paint on a colored ground, Jasper's choice of ground color is unexpected. Each of her paintings begins on a canvas totally covered in vibrant red. In the end, the underlying red, still visible in bits, permeates the canvas. |

The red ground's presence, while more obvious at close range, produces interactive visual effects when viewed from a greater distance.
