My Studio setup Image by Jennie (c). I thought it might be a good idea to show how I have set up for this portrait. I have the sketches around my easel plus printed photos of the King and Queen. What I need is to have all my reference material where I can see it,…
WIP – Untitled Image by Jennie (c). I walked into my studio to get something and saw my WIP there on my easel. well this is always a mistake. I stood and looked at it for quite a while. I was uncomfortable with where i left this work and was very unhappy with the work…
Today was my day for getting show info. This year I plan to have two solo exhibitions (more if I can afford it), One or two group exhibitions and entry into several shows. It is quite an ambitious plan for this year but I believe I am up to the challenge! I need to be…
This is a hard post for me to write but I need the cathartic release. I have been simmering on this for quite a while now and I need to get it out or I will burst. At the moment, as you all know, I am embroiled in legal battles with the TAC, I am…
Do you ever feel that art is your calling – That one true thing that anchors your purpose and gives you love, hope, and meaning each day?… Maybe you are a gallerist or curator who basks in the feeling of the perfect musical note when your exhibition is perfectly organized and hung.

WIP – untitled Originally uploaded by minxdragon. This is Very Much a WIP – I have only started blocking. the shapes in this one are fascinating and are quite similar to how I have been feeling. the Palette is similar to Warm Light and hopefully it should have a really nice feel when I am…
Arches Originally uploaded by minxdragon. Finished! Finally. this was a very complicated work in the end. the texture is very high and the entire painting was completed with Palette knife I used a particularly small one. I am quite happy with it – it is dark and brooding. The suggestion of the hands and face…
Hey! I’ve been blogging for a year! a whole year. Its been great, it gives me a lot to focus on and encourages me to strive with my art. pushing the boundaries and pushing myself even more. and yes, I do think the boundaries are going to push back on that last one! Just because…
100_1986.JPG Originally uploaded by minxdragon. This is my ugliest painting yet. I am not kidding. I think its hideous. but its ugly in a good way. its pretty obvious what its about and its pretty obvious where it came from. (although the Marilyn Mansonesque look is completely accidental) The technique is the same I used…
