Friends

When we painted plein air on Lopez Island, one of the favorite spots was Center Church. Well, the local herd of sheep was very friendly - I suppose they knew they were being painted!
They have such fun round bodies!
Don't you just love the oranges and pinks!

Whidbey Harvest

This is a little farm on Whidbey Island. The old house has as much character as an old farmer!

The rich wheat yellow always catches my eye - it's harvest time!

Pastels are so much fun! They are immediate. No spending half an hour mixing paint before the first stroke! Love it! I have rediscovered Canson pastel paper. Many years ago that's all I used because there wasn't the selection we have today. I still had several sheets in great colors - no priming!

Ten Minute Challenge

This is another of my Ten Minute Challenge paintings. Each square is painted in just 10 minutes. It's a challenge designed to force artists to simplify, make decisions quickly, and "get 'er done"! This was particularly fun - this little figurine is an object I've used for many years in still life painting. She has a personality all her own and she doesn't mind sitting still!
"New Hat" Figurine   8x10" Oil on Canvas Panel   $150.00 unframed.
The first person to email jennifer@evenhusfineart.com claims the painting and will be emailed a PayPal invoice with tax and shipping added. Please put "New Hat" in the subject line.

"Turn" Me On

This was painted from a challenge at "Daily Paintworks."
"'Turn' Me On" 9x12 Oil on Panel $150.00 unframed.
First person to email jennifer@evenhusfineart.com claims this painting and will
receive a PayPal invoice with tax and shipping added. Please put "Turn Me On" in the subject line.

Rules: Get a timer. Divide your canvas or canvases (I used 1-9x12 panel) into 4 small squares (or rectangles). Choose ONE object. Just one. Set your timer for 10 minutes. Paint your object in the first square. When the timer goes off – stop! Go to next square. Repeat until you are done. You can rotate your object and/or change the light for each new square. This challenge forces you to ignore details and focus on shapes and values.

Lyrical Lily

LOVE this! I had quite a challenge with this one. I thought I was losing it . . . just wasn't working, I rubbed off most of the image twice - then, all of a sudden - the image that wanted to be painted appeared and I just followed its lead! I worked on getting the "essence" of the Calla lilies and worked on keeping it loose!
