New Nude – Rosy

Rosy 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie This is a piece I completed just before the new year. It’s lighter than others I’ve created lately and I’m having fun playing with perspective. I think the title is pretty self evident – I think it’s funny that I seem to have gone from no…

New Nude: Lazy

Lazy – 20 x 8 Oils on Canvas by Jennie I’m still working on smaller images and refining my techniques. the smaller you work, the more precise you need to be so I am learning a lot about myself, my techniques and patience. I think it is really paying off. While I have not created…

Masquerade

Masquerade – 10 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie this was an organic piece, one that sort of grew on a bored afternoon. sometimes it’s fun to just relax and see what comes of it. the mask was Liam’s idea and it just grew in the piece with some very bizarre colors at first…

Slump

I’ve been spending time re-organizing the house for the demolition to start on the unit in behind. we’ve had to clear our garage of everything which has required some serious changes to the layout of the house and some creative organization solutions!

It’s Best to be Nude in a Group

I have the pleasure of administrating and moderating Redbubble’s first and only (at this stage) nude art group. Groups are a new feature to Redbubble but they have fast become a favorite place to showcase the best artwork across the board.

Finally! the finished Crawl.

This piece has taken almost a year to finish. it’s been the most stubborn painting I have ever created and I’ve shed a few tears of frustration over it I don’t mind admitting.The good news is that I learned a lot while doing it, small things like not working with a rapidly drying impasto in the heat of summer, and that I can make a piece work if I persevere, even if it takes a year!I also got to experiment with a lot of different media in trying to make this one work, I learned a lot that I will be able to apply to other works. In the end it was the water soluble pastels that worked and I really enjoyed the different effects they could create.I don’t know if I will ever love it, but I am proud to have finished it and I have learned a lot in the process- that makes it important in my book!
