During January 2010, Jack was in a group show of small paintings with the Washington Society of Landscape Painters at the American Painting Gallery in Washington, DC and he was the featured artist in the January 19th newsletter of "Guerrilla Painter" Carl Judson's Plein Air Journal. In July and August, he will be in a group show with WSLP at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation Exhibit, Marriott Conference Center, University of Maryland University College, Adelphi, MD. Jack is also featured in the February 2010 issue of American Artist Magazine. Click here to view the article.

In 2009 Jack was in a group show of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters called "Near and Far Paintings by the Washington Society of Landscape Painters". The show was at the Strathmore Mansion, Bethesda, MD. He also taught workshops in North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, and Florida.

During 2008 Jack was fortunate enough to teach three workshops in Australia. The first week of the 31 days, Jack traveled along the south coast of eastern Australian and painted in "plein air" on his own. He says that this area was one of the most beautiful coastal areas and wished he had more time there to paint. After that he traveled back to Melbourne, he stayed with the Taylors, a wonderful artist, Anne, and her husband, who were most kind during the visit. Jack traveled from there to teach a workshop in Bright, Australia, a resort area above Melbourne, and then back to Melbourne for a pastel demonatration at the "ART IN ACTION" event. The following day, Jack did another demostration for the Victorian Pastel Society and the next he flew to Brisbane where he taught another workshop. The last workshop took place at a vineyard outside of Adelaide where he met many wonderful artist friends and he wants to return for another visit at some time in the future. The trip was long and tiring but very exciting. Below you will see some photographs of Jack when he was working in Australia.

For the past 30 years, Jack has created a painting for his own personal Christmas card. This past Christmas Jack felt he needed a special painting because of the financial situation of the country and the country's war effort in Asian. He chose to paint the White House in a peaceful new fallen snow. Below you will see the card.
