Northern Virginia based artist, J (Just J) Douglas, has been honing his artistic skills his entire life. This native Texan started his career as a portrait artist in 1976, but works primarily in Oils these days.

You will find his work in palaces, presidential homes, estates, resorts, galleries, courthouses, and many homes around the world. “Destiny”, his largest piece to date, and his 2014 – present solo show, can be found in the Forbes five star Salamander Resort and Spa in Middleburg, VA.

J’s evolution from portrait artist, commercial artist, martial artist (6th degree black belt) and finally equestrian artist has been an exciting journey. J likes to say, “I can not wait to see what I will be creating in five years.” He says this, because he truly feels that art is an ever evolving study, and that mastery is a title for those that have passed on in life. J’s studio is just off of the Shenandoah River and tucked away in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
