Congratulations to Jack Warden
Jack's
small painting "Above Stony Point, Suttons Bay", painted near his wife
Julia's property in Suttons Bay, Michigan, has won the poster contest
for the 30th Annual Suttons Bay Art Festival (one of the largest and
most popular in the midwest) and will be the sole featured artwork on
the advertising poster for the event.
The view is from the bluffs above Stony Point (the trees in the
foreground) and showing the white sand beach and Grand Traverse Bay,
with Omena Point in the background, on a bright spring day.
The painting (6" x 8") is for sale, lavishly framed, at $995. |

About Jack Warden
 Jack Warden grew up in the Midwest and received bachelor’s and graduate degrees in literature and philosophy from Indiana University and Indiana State University. A self-taught painter (as he modestly points out, were Monet, Winslow Homer, Edgar Payne and George Inness), Jack has spent the last several years painting primarily along the beautiful Potomac River, although he also works regularly in the spectacular Leelanau County of far northern Michigan, a place of “unsurpassed mystery, magic and gorgeousness.”
Jack is a plein air painter exclusively – that is, he works only outdoors, in nature, year round, from life and never from photographs.
Jack has recently published a new book entitled "Potomac Sketches", which contains 52 reproductions of his oil paintings of the Potomac River, in which he has impressively recorded the varying seasons and lighting effects around the fall zone from Riverbend and Great Falls parks. The images above, for example, are beautiful interpretations of the varying colors and abstract nature of the rock formations and trees along the river, a sight that draws thousands of visitors every year, and continues to fascinate even those who visit the park frequently..
