Slump – 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie while not the most successful opening I’ve had, this certainly was one of the most fun! we sat around and caroled, ate junk food and commiserated about the rain keeping the patrons at bay. This was all followed up by dinner with my best collectors…
Glow – 18 x 18 Oils on Canvas by Jennie With all the work I have been doing putting together packages, mailing off sales, not to mention painting and preparing for the holiday season, I forgot to mention the details of my latest Show! come see some of my works at Port Art’s Christmas Salon.…
Silken – 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie This piece has been painted for the upcoming christmas exhibition at port art gallery. I had to resist the urge to call it dimples! I really am enjoying the smaller pieces, they are fun, more of a fling than a heady engagement. Port art called…
Some of my paintings will be featured in Brunswick St Gallery’s latest show Small Paintings.
Some exhibits are merely allusive to sex but others are highly explicit, possibly shocking some viewers. “Eros is not always sex, but it is in no way pornography,” comments curator Ulf Kuester. Organizers of the show, mounted at the Beyeler Foundation museum at suburban Riehen, say it is the first ever to present such a range of erotica.
self portrait, by Jennie I’m experimenting with color and different media at the moment…. At first I was embarrassed thinking of them as cheating or whatever, but now I am embracing the different effects you can create. I’ve splurged and bought a nice set of them which I am enjoying immensely.
Following on from the last show I thought I would do a ‘wot I learnded’ after each show, because learning is fun 😉 This one is a little late but still valid…. Don’t be afraid to mix it up, try new things and step outside the comfort zone – not every painting needs to be the same and not every exhibition needs to have matching pieces, techniques or styles…. I think my confidence building and goal work over the last few months really helped build my confidence and readiness.
The High Vibes festival was dampened slightly which sucks but there were still quite a few people around. It was very neat, such a cool, free festival with hippies dancing in the street – pure expression everywhere and my work on display for all to see – a pretty cool feeling 🙂 It reminded me how far I am from my corporate career and how happy I am to be back in the world of art and expression and freedom…. and how I am now, truly free.It was a very cool feeling indeed.
Last night was so great, the show looked fantastic, it had a great vibe. I think the main difference, for me, was that I felt much more confident in my collection. Seeing my paintings up there, the results of all my work, made me feel so good. I knew I had done my best, each…
I am so excited about tonight, I can’t believe it’s all here, and done and ready! yet, I don’t feel as panicky, or stressed or worried as the last one. I feel good about the work I’ve put in, and the prices, and everything. It feels right somehow. Today I am going to be disgusting…
