Together Again 

Jeff Jamison’s painting captures a sun-drenched outdoor gathering, rendered in soft, impressionistic strokes. The title, "Together Again," hints at the painting's deeper resonance within contemporary society. Painted at a time of increased reflection on social interactions, the scene depicts figures enjoying wine under the dappled shade of a red umbrella. Yet, these figures are largely devoid of detail, becoming stand-ins for collective experience rather than individual portraits. The choice to obscure identity prompts questions about the nature of shared experiences and the desire for connection. Is it a longing for a return to simpler times, pre-pandemic? Or a commentary on the evolving ways we relate to one another in an increasingly digital world? The scene evokes a sense of nostalgia, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of togetherness and belonging in a rapidly changing society.
