The romantic era of art ranged from 1798 and 1837. This was during Jasper Whitlock’s most formative years. He was turned in 1863, just missing the height of the era. But he was still inspired by the art style. After becoming a vampire, he found himself stood in front of the canvas with a palette in hand during his spare time.

Of course, he couldn’t let the coven know of his little hobby. It was rather embarrassing after all. Jasper Whitlock, the cut-throat killer; and part-time artist. Oh, what horror! Instead, he went under an alias and grew quite the many fans within his time as a painter.

Among the many decorations within the Cullen’s home in Forks, there were quite a few paintings hung around. Jasper always averted his gaze around them, like an embarrassed toddler. You were curious and decided that you should ask about them. “Oh, the…the paintings? Yeah, just some…guy. Just some painter from the 1800s.” The vampire cleared his throat and shifted his gaze away from both you and the paintings.
