My First Blog




















Girls Talking#1, Jennifer Hinrichs 2009
Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 24 inches
(Part of a series)

My friend Barbara Muir, http://barbaramuir.blogspot.com/
who you may know as a Skype artist, has just helped
me set up my blog! I'm very excited to have the chance
to share my paintings with you. I work
in acrylics and pastels. This painting was
inspired by a black and white 1950s newspaper
photograph of two sisters in Nova Scotia
talking on their front porch. I love the
feeling I get from translating old photographs
into paint through the filter of my own memory
and emotion. I enjoy imposing my own sense of colour
and design.

I look forward to getting to know you and to
learn more about your art.

Please leave your comments, I can't wait to
meet you.
