JASPER - Caroline Jasper, a nationally known painter from Bel Air, MD, will exhibit her unique red canvas oil landscape paintings at the Jasper Arts Center. The public is invited to meet the artist at the Krempp Gallery from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
    Jasper was featured in the November issue of the American Artist Magazine in an article titled, "I See Red."
    Jasper explains, "My oil paintings record efforts at learning to see and better understand visual perception. The challenge is to represent on flat canvas how something three-dimensional looks from direct observation. I like to push contrast and dramatize color relationships exaggerating how I see it and emphasizing what I find most appealing in the subject." She continues, " Choosing what to paint is an emotional-level decision. Each of my painted scenes is an attempt to recapture the moment of light. I wait for clear weather to search locations during early mornings or late afternoons when the sun is low."
