Not enough time in the day


Ragmop

Well, I have certainly been busy.  I did post a dog portrait but it is one that I did a few years ago.  One of my client's requested that I post it so I did.  Ragmop was a GREAT dog-he was smart and very independent.  He passed away at a fairly young age and the painting was done from a photo that I had taken right before he got sick.  This painting was completed when I first started doing pastels.  It is interesting to see the journey from then to now. Hope you enjoy the little guy-we were blessed to have him in our lives.

I have also posted a new pastel painting of a lake scene during autumn.  This is a lake I continue to paint often.  It is a very quiet and secluded and magical place-it continues to be an inspiration.

Hope you are having a great day!

Starting Fresh


Hi Everyone,

This is my first voyage into the world of blogs.  During our time together, I hope we can get to know each other.  I also hope to give you insights into the beautiful world I am privileged to paint.

Here I will post thoughts about my journey as a painter and ,from time to time, paintings that I am currently working on-both in the studio and in plein air.  I have also recently taken up painting in oils again after a thirty-something absence.  I hope to use the oil medium as a venue for small plein air studies for my larger pastel paintings.  We'll see how this goes.

I may from time to time post some of my students paintings to let you see their progress as well.

Hoping you are having a wonderful day!
Talk to you soon,
Jennylynne
