You have been so kind with your comments concerning my art.  THANK YOU!! It is tough putting myself out there.  I even find it hard calling myself an artist...I am a work in process and I feel like my artwork is too.  

I am still learning new techniques and working in different mediums.  The peacock, flower pot, pool, and portrait pictures are acrylic paint; the 2 landscapes are both soft pastels.  I love colorful art. (no surprise).  When I look at a subject, even if it is not particularly colorful, I find myself searching for colors to bring out in it. 

One of my great loves is my art.. and being able to express myself with painting.. I am very lucky to have the chance to share that love with you... here are some of my favorites:

Our Pool in acrylic (bottom of picture)...  with the actual picture of the pool at top... :

Acrylic on stretched canvas. The inspiration was a flower pot I found. I loved the colors in it. The background is inspired by my dining room wall color and the color of my hardwood floors. My attempt at impressionism: 

Self-Portrait in acrylic:

Composition is also a work in progress for my artwork.  I do most of my work from pictures that I take (the shadows are easier to see) and I am working on getting better at creating a well composed photo to work from.  I am hoping that in the near future I can find an art class.  The last class I took was pre-Lauren & Chelsea, 23+ years ago.  My hope is that with some guidance I can really define who I am as an artist and develop a signature look and style to my work. Even if I don't quite get to my goal it will be a colorful journey that I am so happy that you want to share it with me.  

This is a soft pastels landscape. It is from a magazine picture of Castellina in Chianti, Italy. Someday I would love to visit there.

Blessings,

Jayne
