Thank you so much to all of you that participated in making “An evening of art II” a complete success. It was a pleasure seeing all of your faces. To those of you that couldn’t make it I hope to see you next year.
It was wonderfully encouraging to hear all of the positive feedback and comments on the paintings. I look forward to continually making this an increasingly better event.
Once again, Thank You for your patronage.

Recently at a charity event for Mercy High School in Northern California, JL Galleries and Jane Flynn donated a Neal Adams painting. This small painting of a flower raised over $850- for the school. JL Galleries would like to thank the buyer and Jane Flynn for their participation in helping the students of Mercy High. It is a pleasure to help out while spreading good art around the world.

JL Galleries is excited to offer the art of Neal Adams. Originally from England, Neal is living in Bali, Indonesia with his wife and young son. |

| His subject matter is often the beauty and importance of nature and our connections to these natural miracles. Recently, Neal Adams has developed a new technique using gold and silver leaf that is both avant-garde and commercially desirable. This idea of painting with actual gold and silver is not new. It was made most famous by Gustav Klimpt who used it in a decorative manner. Neal is pioneering the use of these mediums with paint as backlighting for the subject matter. His glimmering backgrounds are abstract masterpieces in their own right with reflective color transformations constantly evolving due to light and angle. This creates a great deal of life that moves through each of Neal’s pieces. |

| At the JL Galleries “An evening of art,” Neal Adams was the biggest seller and conversation piece. Appearently we didn’t unveil his work a minute to soon. He sold 10 of 11 paintings for a beautiful followup to his sold out show in Jakarta earlier this year.

Not enough art from this trio. Everyone wanted to see more by these newly represented painters. We had only one testpiece by each of the three and could have sold each multiple times over. Spauldero’s Badut Pantai (oil on canvas), Pranoto’s ‘Girls’ (oil on canvas), and Tantrix’s beautiful abstraction of colors. |

This painting is the latest in a series of flamboyant trees by Neal Adams. The first in the series was sold to the first lady of Indonesia. Absolutely elegant!

This beautiful small tree by Neal Adams was the first of three bought by a collector in Orange County, CA. The other two are another tree and the viewers choice award from the JL Galleries 2008 show, a medium sized painting of alang alang. That is the wild grass often used for roofing material.

The owner of this Neal Adams tree had already bought two good sized paintings of trees one week before buying this autumn tree (my personal favorite thus far by Neal
Padangbai Tree and
Sunrise Lake). She arrived at the 2008 JL Galleries show and within five minutes decided that this nine foot across tree needed to join her Neal Adams collection.

Like most collectors of Neal Adams, this was just the first of many to be bought by this particular patron. Can’t say enough about his work.

Padangbai is a beautiful cove on East Bali. This tree was sticking off the edge of a cliff in the blue lagoon and I was fortunate enough to be with Neal when he discovered it. Personally, I wanted to keep this piece for my private collection but the owner was insistent on adding it to her Neal Adams collection. Guess I will have to find another.

This was the first piece that I saw of Neal Adam’s. It is why JL Galleries decided we must do business with Neal. I was absolutely astounded and later found out it was the first in a new series of trees that has been wonderfully successful for Neal Adams and JL Galleries. When the owner first saw it she responded, “Wow, That is what trees look like in heaven.”
