Recently, Jason Monet passed away from complications due to cancer. He spent his last months in Australia with his family while receiving medical attention. He is survived by his four daughters, two sons and three grandchildren.
For over twenty years Jason Monet lived larger than life in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia where he was captivated by the lighting of the tropics. He leaves behind quite a legacy in Ubud for his masterful painting, singular sculptures and beautiful bamboo houses that were a powerful testament to the need for conservation. Just last May he threw a wonderful 70th birthday bash that will be talked about for years to come. All of Ubud, Bali, and Indonesia will greatly miss his charming character.
Thank you Mr. Jason Monet for all your contributions.

| Not only were awards bestowed upon Jesse, there were also sales of classic pieces like the ‘Gate-A-Way’. Miller’s wooden postcards were also a hit. Further, the festival sold more 2008 Sawdust Art Festival T-shirts than usual due to the great T-shirt design made by none other than Jesse Miller ! |

On May 4th Jason Monet celebrated his 70th birthday kicking off a week long party and retrospective exhibition of his work. The opening night was an extravaganza of traditional Balinese music followed by rock and roll.
Other reasons for the shindig were raising money for the Sumatran Orangutan Society and a house warming for his recently completed 2 bamboo house complex. Jason has worked tirelessly promoting the plight of the orangutan. Part of his mission to save them is promoting bamboo as an alternative resource for wood. If more people used bamboo, which is complete renewable, the habitat of creatures like the Sumatran Orangutan would be saved. This is more than lip service as his beautiful bamboo palaces clearly state. Everything is made of bamboo.
Thanks to Jason and S.O.S. for a wonderful time.

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.

What wonderful color through out the water and sky. This boat just makes me smile. These colors are so tropical and the lighting is perfect on this painting.

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. Neal Adams GallerySome of the other new artists making a commotion were Spauldero, Pranoto and Tantri featured below. |

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. |
