Biography
My name is Jacklyn Balestrino I was born in New Jersey and I now live in Florida. Working on my career for thirty five years in the advertising and publishing field, and having raised my son I decided that it was now time for me to do what I loved best, and that was to paint. I always loved working in oils. My work is usually a particular subject such as a large flower, which I love to paint in brillant colors

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
