Honing Your Craft: Seeing Accurate Value
By Armand Cabrera

Honing Your Craft: Seeing Accurate Value

"Theory has no place in an artist's basic education. It is the eye and the hand that should be exercised during the impressionable years of youth. It is always possible to later acquire the accessory knowledge involved in the production of a work of art, but never -- and I want to stress that point -- never can the will, perseverance, and tenacity of a mature man make up for insufficient practice. And can there be such anguish compared to that felt by the artist who sees the realization of his dream compromised by weak execution?"

Jane PetersonJane Peterson
By Armand Cabrera

Jane Peterson was born “Jennie Christine Peterson” in Elgin, Illinois in 1876.  She began her formal art studies at the Pratt Institute of New York City under Arthur Wesley Dow.  Before her 1901 graduation, Peterson taught classes in painting at the Institute.  She next studied with Frank Vincent DuMond in Boston.  She saved enough money to travel abroad to continue her schooling. Overseas, Peterson studied first with Frank Brangwyn in London and then Joaquin Sorolla in Madrid.  Peterson’s return to the United States was recognized with shows in 1909 in both Boston and New York.

I paint flowers because they are my friends and I love them. They have personalities just as animals, birds and people.
