Thanks for coming to my artist's website. I know your time is quite precious, but if you have, say, some 10 or 12 minutes to spare, please take a look at all of my paintings-- both digital and traditional media-- and after you've checked them out, let me know what your thoughts are (i.e., leave a comment!).
As I write this, I have about 60 paintings up on this site; as a rule of thumb, each "post" (and there are of course exceptions to this rule, such as the post you're now looking at) shows one or more of my paintings; to check out all of my paintings, simply scroll down from one post (or painting) to the next, and when you get down to the bottom of the page click "Older Posts" to go on to the next batch of paintings.
"Click" a painting to isolate it or make it a little larger, if you'd like.
After checking them all out, what are your thoughts in respect to my digital medium paintings?
My traditional media paintings?
How would you compare them?
Any favorites? If so, might you explain why you're partial to them?
Anyway, again, thanks for your time, and please come back often. Invite your friends here, too.
Jerry
P.S. Another suggestion:
Find the word "SIDEBARS" near the upper right hand corner of this page and, just beneath, click "links you might want to check out". There, at the "links you might want to check out" sidebar, you can access (among other sites) the artist's website for my colleague Andy Morgan, as well as the artist's/musician's site for my colleague Tony Burress. On one of Tony Burress' music videos, you'll find him improvising on his harmonica while the wonderful Dr. Roland Carter accompanies him on piano.
Or, click "Inspiration for my paintings: photographs of home", where you'll find photographs of what my mother's yard looks like from late Spring through late Summer.
And if you wish, you can check out the sidebar about Cross Plains Community Partner, where you'll find out about the services they provide for the Dalton, Georgia area, and for people with developmental disabilities.
Those are but a few of the interesting-- and relevant-- items you'll find up there in the "SIDEBARS" section.
But most of all, I'd like you to check out all of my artwork here-- both the digital and the traditional media-- and offer your thoughts.

A hopefully helpful word or two
October 6, 2011
Besides his traditional media paintings, you'll find a lot of Mr. Morrison's "digital medium" paintings here as well. How does he "do" these? Using the computer "paint" program, Mr. Morrison completes his digital medium paintings by manipulating his computer mouse manually on his mouse pad, much as though the mouse pad itself were his canvass and his mouse his paint brush. However, the images he paints so carefully on his mouse pad with the mouse, actually take concrete color and shape not on the mouse pad but on his computer monitor screen (many people find this way of painting digitally quite difficult). The computer paint program provides a palette for him as well, from which Mr. Morrison manually accesses his colors. Mr. Morrison, unlike, say, his fellow artist Mr. Andy Morgan, does not use a touchscreen when manually painting via the computer paint program (digitally). Mr. Morrison prefers the aforementioned mouse-as-paintbrush method, while Mr. Morgan likes to apply the plastic tip of a pen cap or pen barrel directly to a computer touchscreen, with the touchscreen acting as his canvass and the pen cap tip (or barrel tip) his brush.
It should be noted that Mr. Morrison rarely paints in the digital (computer paint) medium any longer. A few years ago he began concentrating on the more traditional media-- acrylics, watercolors, chalks, and the like. Further on down (after you scroll past a few more of Mr. Morrison's digital paintings), you'll find another whole batch (forty or so) of Mr. Morrison's traditional media paintings.
It might interest you that Mr. Morrison has provided a link to Mr. Morgan's artist's website. Near the upper right hand corner of this page, you'll find the word "SIDEBARS"; beneath "SIDEBARS", click "Links You Should Check Out"; then click the link to Andy Morgan's artist's website. Like Mr. Morrison, Mr. Morgan has also taken up the more traditional media of late. The two artists often work together.
Mr. Morrison has also put up photographs of the famous flower beds that, in the Spring and Summer seasons, have for decades wreathed a festival of colors around the house he grew up in. (Yes, he still lives in that house). Again, find the word "SIDEBARS" near the upper right hand corner of this page, and look just beneath it; this time, however, go to-- and click-- the words "Inspiration for my paintings: photographs of home".
You'll find other interesting tidbits as well, under "SIDEBARS".
But most of all: PLEASE check out all of Mr. Morrison's paintings and comment about his work!!! He'd like to hear from you. What thoughts have you?
Thanks for visiting, and come back. (And please encourage others to come here!).
Oh, almost forgot-- expect more paintings to be posted.
Later,
Jerry Morrison
