Mineral Art by Jake Harper

JAKE'S MINERAL ART GALLERY
Jake has been drawing since he was old enough to hold a crayon. Being self taught in the mediums of pencil, pen and oils, he has sold many paintings over the years, and myself and his family and friends are continually amazed and proud of his work. He is well known for doing beautiful landscapes, and has also created some beautiful fantasy drawings and paintings (A personal favorite of mine!). Many years ago, he decided to try his hand at mineral art. As you can tell - Jake has a definite passion for it! Please stay tuned for more works to be posted. Sincerely, Dana Harper (Proud wife and admirer.)
