Beach 2015 Report Artist Merryl Jaye, owner of Merryl Jaye Studios, specializes in painting music greats in oil. Reproductions are also available in gicleé. She feels that her style "is not only visionary, its irrevocably her own and unmistakably recognizable. Her beautiful scenic vistas evoke a romance and majesty of nature as if seen through the eye of a free-spirited impressionist who paints in today's world. She manages to capture an innate understanding and sensibility of light. Her love of brilliant color and unedited, painterly brushstrokes seem as if she could have daubed them onto her canvas on the left banks of Montemartre. Raised in Southern California, Merryl began painting at age twelve. Fascinated by performing arts, she also studied and sang light opera, winning multiple scholarships. In her late teens, Merryl served her country by entertaining the troops in Vietnam with the USO. After a successful career as a songwriter, recording artist, and having appeared on stage and television, she chose to follow her true passion: painting". Merryl's subject matter consists of people or places you feel you've known before. They may appear timeless whether it's her enchanting cottages, her ethereal landscapes or her heartfelt images of children and legendary musicians. Starting as a classical artist, Merryl's technique instinctively transitioned into a more free-styled, interpretive approach as her love and passion for nature grew. Its as nature dictates her brushstrokes, which create constant movement. Pricing begin at $375 for reproduction, with originals staring at $2500 on up.
