Philip Jamison is an artist working primarily with watercolour as a medium. Jamison's inspiration comes mainly from the environs of his home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and his summer home in Vinalhaven, Maine; typical scenes are landscapes, seascapes, interiors and flower arrangements. The Daisy flower was Jamison's favorite, as he found them to be beautiful and amazed with how they would grow in such profusion.
Philip Jamison was born in 1925, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jamison then moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania with his mother "Daisy" before the first grade and where she raised him as a single parent. When Jamison completed high school in 1943, he was drafted in the Navy. After two and half years of serving in the armed forces and a civilian again he went on to attend college. Philip Jamison graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art (later known as the University of the Arts) in 1950. This is where he met with a childhood friend Jane Gray for a second time. They were married in 1950. Philip Jamison has three children, a son Philip Duane Jamison III, nickname "Flip" who resides in West Chester, Pennsylvania and identical twin daughters, Terry and Linda Jamison. They are also artists, and well known as the Psychic Twins.
Jamison's work has been widely exhibited at museums and galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and are included in the permanent collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Delaware Art Museum, the National Air and Space Museum, and in numerous private collections. He was elected a member of The National Academy of Design in 1970 and has been a member of the American Watercolor Society since 1957. He exhibited with Hirschl & Adler Galleries in New York City for 25 years, including nine one-man shows. In 1975, he was selected by NASA to his impressions of the Apollo-Suyuz space launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Jamison is the author of two books on the techniques of watercolor painting, written in 1980 and 1987.
Philip Jamison has displayed a one man show at the Chester County Arts Association, January 2011 to March 2011, entitled Philip Jamison: Watercolor. These paintings were created during Jamison's summers in Maine. Art Critic Edward J. Sozanski wrote a critical commentary on Jamison's one man show at the Chester County Arts Association, which was extended until the end of April 2011. He wrote "The watercolors confirm the 85-year-old artist's mastery of the medium. They are tightly and economically composed and in terms of color, which he deploys judiciously, absolutely spot-on as far as nature is concerned". Philip Jamison has been active in showing his works of art in the Philadelphia area for many years. Most recently, The Woodmere Art Museum celebrates Jamison's transformative promise gift of almost one hundred works of art from his collection. This exhibition's dates are January 2012 to May 2013.
The first book Capturing Nature in Watercolor(Watson-Guptill 1980) with an introduction of his personal history and Philosophy on Art. Jamison also elaborates on when he found his own means of self-expression, exploring interior design, illustration, and discovering watercolor painting as his true medium. Jamison had said "In order to satisfy my own inner convictions, I need some reference to nature in my paintings". In the introduction Philip Jamison captures his art training, and also mentions the artist that had influenced him, such as Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Odilon Redon, Andrew Wyeth and watercolorists W. Emerton Heitland, Charles Burhfield. Capturing Nature in Watercolor contains information on studio materials, working methods, demonstrations, and also displays may of Jamison's paintings.
The second book, Making Your Paintings Work (Watson-Guptill, 1987), provides more details on his paintings and pencil drawings. Jamison had said " that pencil drawings are often thought as the skeletons of paintings, and they are very indicative of the artist's personality." Philip Jamison goes on to explain the placement of color, overall pattern, using nature, and learning from other artists in his book. Jamison writes about his wife, Jane, who was an accomplished watercolorist in her own right and had a direct influence on him becoming a watercolorist.
