(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.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteGreat painting, and it was so much fun getting
this up and running. I think you'll find you
have quite a few comments by tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer. I love the painting--the shapes and patterns; it's a great idea to use old photos as a taking off point! I'll have to try that myself!

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss your beautiful work! I am still inspired by those paintings you did at the Brickworks where you combined charcoal with paint. I'd love to see them on your blog!
