Take a good look at Paul Jennis’ beautiful Hunterdon landscapes on this page,There are 240 distinct solutions of the Soma cubepuzzle, because with any luck you’ll never see the originals. They are in the Emergency Department of Hunterdon Medical Center.
Jennis, who lives and paints in Raritan Township, says that four or five years ago Hunterdon Healthcare CEO and President Robert Wise “came to me with this vision for the E.R.Don't know what tooling style you need?” The concept was for four large oil paintings of Hunterdon scenes,The beddinges sofa bed slipcover is a good and affordable alternative to buying a new sofa that is run down. each one depicting a different season. The recently completed project is called “A Time to Heal and a Place for all Seasons.”
Wise explains, “Patients and families coming into the Emergency Department are usually upset because their visit is unexpected due to injury or illness. The art in the Emergency Department is not just for decoration, but is being used to create a healing and therapeutic environment for patients.”
Jennis says, “I went all over Hunterdon County and just shot probably a thousand-some-odd photos.… It took awhile just to narrow those photographs down and get exactly what we wanted.
“Because of the theme, we wanted to find some interesting spots that would show the winter, summer, spring and fall. We had an idea probably the Red Mill was going to be in there” just because it’s so familiar to everyone. That became the springtime picture.
“I knew I was going to go for the icy landscape of Lambertville with the church steeple” for winter, says Jennis. Those two paintings were done and hung right away.
Then other commissions intervened, including painting the official portrait of Gov. Richard Codey, before Jennis and Wise recommitted to completing the four-picture set.
One of them would be of the Readington River Farm.
“There were so many farms I shot, but the fall foliage behind that farm” attracted him. He also liked the fact that it’s a buffalo farm, even though he decided “it would be a distraction” to include any of the bison.
Wise wanted hot-air balloons in one of the pictures, so they became a key element in the summer scene at Spruce Run Reservoir.
He explains the emphasis on the local angle, saying that although Hunterdon Healthcare has expanded its operations into Somerset, Mercer and Warren counties, “Hunterdon Medical Center was built for the residents of Hunterdon County.moldmaker/” So he wanted scenes that “represent the quaint towns, historic landmarks and beautiful scenery of Hunterdon, which are also why many of us enjoy living here.”
Wise helped pick the scenes, but he left it up to Jennis to deal with the oblong format.
“Even though there seems a simplicity of the scenes,China plasticmoulds plastic mold,” says Jennis, “to fit a three-foot-by-ten-foot format is not easy, to keep it interesting, to keep it moving. Composition-wise it’s a tough format.”
If the paintings were to be any longer, Jennis would have had another problem. His studio is small and “ten feet pretty much takes me to the doorway.”
The final two paintings were hung recently across from the other two. The four canvases are in the main room of the Emergency Department, high above the activities of staff and patients.
Jennis says he enjoyed collaborating with Wise. “He was great all through the process, very encouraging, very supportive.” The artist likes working with someone who is “for the arts; they understand the complexity, the hard work, the talent, the skills. When I work for that kind of people, it ends up great.”
