Nude in Progress

This is one of the pieces I have been working on lately. the figure is complete but I will be adding a glazed element to the painting in full color…. I could see it in my head every time i closed my eyes but I was afraid to work without a model and proper lighting.

a New Ochre Nude

The other night I came home from a party where I had enjoyed much art geeking and looking at amazing works. well, after all that I had no choice but to paint – it was a physical need so I practically ran into the studio at 2:30am pausing only to grab my iPod.

Stressing..

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment, I have some business side stuff I need to do and some sewing for an upcoming festival and the neverending flu appears to have resurfaced turning me into a melancholy lump incapable of performing basic functions.At times I find it very hard to get enthused about anything.

A New Impasto Nude

Currently Untitled,by JennieAt this rate I might end up being one of those artists who names everything ‘untitled’! anyway, I am looking at more challenging shapes within this technique. before my impasto pieces had a total of 6 main lines.

Underwear

Many of my paintings wear hidden underwear. most of my favorite techniques involve underpainting to add richness and depth to the finished piece.

Exploration and Experimentation

I am refining my images with more pre-production and am playing with different media and different variations on my favorite techniques. It’s less about over-thinking and more about trying to be faithful to the visions in my head. It’s hard to explain but thrilling – It’s like something has been unlocked inside that allows me to see what I want to achieve and I have the trust in my ability to allow the piece inside me to come out.
