Biography
In my work, I'm looking for that place where work and play are one, where spirit and matter meet.
I have taught at Texas Tech, Amarillo College, Laney College in downtown Oakland, California, at UC Berkeley, and at the College of the Virgin Islands. At Laney, where I taught for forty years, I studied art with Bill Snider, who used the techniques of the Dutch masters to paint Disney characters.
Retirement has given me time to paint in earnest, and to explore different types of paintings. In September, 2013, Artmajeur honored me with a Silver Award.
After forty years in the San Francisco Bay Area, my family and I have moved to the foothills of the Sierras, and retirement has given me a chance to paint in earnest, to make painting part of every day. I've explored landscapes, news, portraits and figures, sports animals, surrealism.
Art is a way to learn about the world, about yourself and your experiences, the way you see and feel life, what you value. Welcome to my galleries! I hope you find some things to enjoy.

Reviews and comments
Bonjour Jan Wall et bonne année ! J’ai posté une nouvelle toile ! Bonne soirée.
Thank you so much, for adding "La Melancolía" to your collection!
Thank you all for the kind words! I am glad you like the painting of the Hubble photo. To me, it seems almost mystical.
Thanks for your kind words about Tina. I just ran across the comment! Sorry for the late response. Jan Wall
Jean-Paul, I just ran across your kind comment on Smoke! I hope you and your family are safe and well in these perilous days! You, too, beware!
Thank you for the kind comment on The Stairs. Sorry for the late response. Best regards, Jan Wall
Thanks to all of you for your good work.
Thanks a lot for adding my "sheep of color" to your collection, Jan! 👍
RIM FIRE, YOSEMITE 2 2011 ... 2021 !
Dear Jan,
Thank you for you beautiful and sad picture!
Fire everywhere! Europe: Southern Italy, Greece, Spain ... Even in Siberia !
And in your country, California, I read that the "Dixie Fire" has created its own climate with lightning and strong winds that then fuel the fire.
I think the girl who was so mocked a few years ago has grown up with the disaster she was predicting. Greta was right to alert the powerful. She was not the only one of course, but she had the merit to make people talk about it. Now it is time to act. And quickly!
Merci beaucoupJan Wall pour les ajouts dans votre collection.
