By Paul Goldfinger, MD. Editor—Blogfinger.net
Jack Bredin is a man with many talents, and his accomplishments are many. He and Jean have lived in Ocean Grove since 2001, coming from Edgewater.
Since he has been a Grover, he has immersed himself in the history and issues surrounding the Grove, and although he is not a lawyer or an engineer, he knows so much about land use here that he has helped us immensely on Blogfinger as an editor (now emeritus,) but more important he has tried to influence policy here by taking an activist approach.
But Jack Bredin is primarily an artist, and he has devoted his painting to landscapes around town. For all these years he has completed an average of 1 painting per month, and we have posted photographs of his images regularly.
Currently Jack is completing a painting that is very special and will wind up in his private collection, but first it will be displayed on Blogfinger.net.

I have two of Jack’s paintings, they are a lovely memento of our time in Ocean Grove. We sold our house on Ocean Pathway recently, I miss the Grove but not the parking issues!
