A few months ago I was invited to be a Founding Artist of DA, invited from this blog as a matter of fact! it turns out they had been watching my performance as a best seller on BoundlessGallery for a while. you can check out my new digs at http://www.discoveredartists.com/jennierosenbaum I’m very excited to be a part of this project, so far the organization, communication and website design are fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future!
Storm – 12×12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum it use to be that I needed pressure, it fueled me and spurred me on. I would rise under it the more I had to cope with. I am sure I will be like that again very soon but I admit I’ve been panicking quietly about this show , once I get into the studio and do some painting I am sure I will relax and start working in my usual pre show manner (in a massive flurry of creativity) but I have to get over this case of nerves first! to help with that I’ve reverted to my old Project management practices to make sure I know when everything needs to get done, and how, and what I have to do, what relates to everything else and how long everything will take to do.
Rosy 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum I will be showing my paintings again this year in BSG’s Small Works exhibition. I would love to attend but apparently my newfound stair climbing prowess is still not good enough to tackle the enormous schlep on those stairs. I’d love to hear about the exhibition from others and to see photographs if anyone manages to get some!

There are those out there who are insisting that because it’s a nude, it’s sexual and because it’s sexual, it’s pornographic and therefore illegal.
This falling figure was working so well up till now, great motion, a horrible chaotic feeling and gravity, but I can’t get this damn blindfold to work properly! does anyone want to volunteer to be pushed off a building so I can photograph them and get the physics right? no, I think I am just going to have to tie my poor husband up, blindfold him and blow a hairdryer at the fabric until I can get it to work.
Storm – 12×12 Oils on Canvas (detail) by Jennie Rosenbaum I’m stuck spending too much time on marketing and not enough on painting. I know the marketing is paying off, I know it is going well, but if I don’t have the works then I don’t have anything to market! it’s a fine line as…
Well that didn’t go too well, I will keep trying until I get through this block. when I am blocked it affects everything, I don’t want to work online, I don’t want to think about promotions or shows, I just want to hide. So today I played around with making a facebook app. you can…
On top of all the excitement of having four works selected for Nudes of the Month , I am especially delighted to announce that one piece has been nominated for a Curators Choice Award!… you can influence the vote by going to Nudes of the Month and voting in the right hand column – wish me luck!
…so drop by and take a look at the works I have up – more will be coming soon!

I have some kind of bug and am not feeling up to much right now, sorry if I haven’t gotten back to your email yet or if I’m not posting very often right now, I’ll get over this slump and be back to full speed soon.
Ugly by Jennie Rosenbaum It’s been a bizarre week, starting last week when I received a call from local news show today tonight. it seems they are doing a story on a condition I have and are interested in how I have used my artwork to help me through it. I have spent the entire…
