Watercolor Painting. “Fireside Chat” by Jim Adair.

Size Matted / Unframed:22.5” x 29.5”

Before painting, I was a wine maker. So here I am talking to myself about the recent vintage. See the Adair Vineyards bottle at lower center? I always like to search out an “inside” story of a person’s lifestyle to shape the theme of my Clone paintings. These paintings never cease to draw a chuckle after the viewer realizes he is not just looking at one person reflecting on his lifestyle but at several of him doing so.

Some out takes from the session that helped produce the computer composite

needed to paint “Fireside Chat”



First, a scene is chosen and the Model placed in different locations and photographed from a fixed camera position.

Then a selection is made of the best shots to fulfill the spirit of the intended theme. These are then combined into one picture which is the “roadmap” for the finished painting.

• The watercolor painting “Fireside Chat” (above)    Matted / Unframed ....... $2,000.

  1. •A commissioned Lifestyle Clone painting of you, size shown ... Matted / Unframed ..... $2,000

Framing Note: The virtual frame shown above does not exist and is presented here only to give an idea of how the painting would look framed and matted. We frame all our paintings here at the gallery and can provide that same service to you. But since frame choice is a very personal matter we recommend the customer have it done locally. However we ship all paintings with a recommended archival, three inch white mat around the painting, as suggested above, with archival foam core backing (a $25 value) that can fit into a custom frame of your choice. The Height and Width dimensions shown above are of the “art size“ seen through the mat.
