Its more or less permanent- I am still working hard on it to make it less rather than more, but I have accepted it and it is now part of my life – I am working with it rather than against it…. These all seem like superficial examples but what they are are symbols of the new person I am becoming and the new peace I am finding within myself. I am working hard to take care of myself with a new pain management program starting soon, and I am trying not to put myself down so much.
I found this rather amusing article on a routine surfing trip. I think it may have something in a few spots! plus I love the images – People who know my darling little kitten might be interested in her starring in a new work at the bottom of the page. well her or her identical…
Cinderella Image by Jennie (c). This painting was based on a photo I took of Bre that just stole my heart. The technique is one I am coming to enjoy more and more – the same turps washing technique I used in Redhead. Initially I was concerned about how this was coming along. it looked…
I am working on a new painting at the moment, it is based on a photograph of Breana I took on an off chance. Its more contemporary rather than classical but I am enjoying the feeling that is starting to emerge. I haven’t had a whole lot of strength lately as the examination last week…

A great article in the Guardian on the Male Nude: “Today, probably nothing so alienates us from the high art of the European past as its most prestigious subject – the male nude. Visit any old European museum, from Naples to Bloomsbury, and they have more marble statues of disrobed gods and heroes than they…
Breana Image by Jennie (c). I had a breakthrough and revised the textiles completely in a massive paint attack! I am now very happy with the textiles – they have weight and are hanging well. Bre is almost completely done now, I want to tidy the edges and brighten a couple of highlights but she…
Bre Image by Jennie (c). I have almost finished with Bre now, I need to add a touch more tiny highlights and a bit more work on the background but then she will be done! I will be quite happy when i have finished her up, its been a while since I’ve worked in a…
WIP – Bre Image by Jennie (c). I got some really great work done on Bre yesterday. I started in on the fine detail – she has eyelids! the feather still needs some building and I want to soften her face a little. I need to refine her inner sleeves some more and do some…
