" Jamaica has an
abundance of beautiful scenes and historical sites. The deep rural section of
the island provides an array of rich greenery, spreading cane fields and pasture
lands that is the hallmark of rural Jamaica. The painting featured here is reminiscent
of this . E. J. Channer is very passionate about the environment and seeks
individuals of like passion to help in promoting such issues not only in the
wider west Indies but world wide.
The recently elected president of the
guild of artists his work can be seen in a number of private and corporate
collections in Jamaica. " You can reach me at ejchanner@gmail.com. Phone 1876-808-9507 / 1876-988-5229

Scott strives for simplicity
of composition in both his pencil drawings and his pastel landscapes.
"Several years ago, I started including an 'in-progress' pencil drawing in
my exhibits to show people what I was working on. There was more interest in it
than my 'finished' work", he recalls. "I guess I've adopted a Zen-like
philosophy when it comes to my work." Scott strives to carry that
philosophy over into his landscapes by using a limited palette along with light
and tonal value to draw the viewer in. He finds inspiration in the works of the
Hudson River School of painters; masters of atmospheric light. "Whether I'm
creating a landscape of Tuscany or the Willamette Valley, my goal is to create
an image that will cause someone to stop and remember or reflect. It's usually a
scene so simple and familiar that it could be almost anywhere."
In 1999, after two decades of working in pencil, Scott made the transition to
pastel landscapes. Inspiration came when he took a trip to South Africa.
"My original plan was to bring back photos of the African wildlife at
Kruger National Park for a series of pencil drawings", he recalls,
"but I was overwhelmed by the South African landscape and the atmospheric
lighting. I immediately started working on pastel landscapes when I returned
home. It was a career-changing experience". Scott has also traveled
throughout Europe and recently traveled to Thailand.
