This painting sold last night at my gallery exhibition preview, but it’s still on view tonight for the First Fridays downtown art walk. It is a companion to another Tuscany painting I blogged about a couple of days ago:

“Lingering Light, Tuscany II”
Oil on linen, about 3.5″ x 7.75″

If you’re doing the downtown art walk tonight in Richmond, come by Jennifer Young Studio & Gallery and see all of the “Small Stuff” — miniature paintings and prints –on display for the holiday season. The gallery is located at 16 East Main Street between 1st and Foushee.

If you’re not in Richmond, I am continually uploading new paintings to my web gallery, or you can see them offered first here, on the blog. I’m also offering free shipping (with some restrictions) until the end of the year, for holiday shopping convenience.

It has been a busy week tending to other things, so not much blogging. Above is a little watercolor vignette of one of my favorite subjects–the Provincial countryside! I may go back and add a little detail to the lavender rows…not sure. This is a small piece, a 4×6″ image on 5×7″ paper, so I kind of like the simplicity and freshess right now.

I’ve decided to change the “Art Sketches” category of my website to “Vignettes”. The above image details and the change to the site are not yet live, but that’s part of what I am working on this week. I think Vignettes is more appropriate and encompases both watercolors and other media in small format. I will be doing a lot more of these in the coming weeks as I prepare for my next opening in early December, entitled “Small Stuff”.

Speaking of small stuff, here’s the other thing I’ve been working on: I’ll be releasing a series of mini-prints soon. These are archival prints of a selection of images in mini format, sizes ranging from 2.5″ x 3.5″, to 8 x 10″. They’ll be offered matted with acid-free materials, and they are soooo cute! I’ve been color correcting and proofing all week, sometimes tearing my hair out, but I expect to launch this line by the beginning of next week. Let’s hope I’m not completely bald by then!

According to Wikipedia,

“Squidoo is a network of user-generated lenses –single pages that highlights one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise.”

According to me, it’s pretty addictive! I’ve really been enjoying surfing it, and I’ve also created a couple of lenses of my own. My most recent lens is: Hanging Artwork and Caring for Your Art Collection. While I’ve blogged some of this information before, I’ve included new content on my lens that I hope will be of interest to art lovers and art collectors. I’ve also just updated my other lens on landscape painting with new content, so check them out! And if you enjoy my lenses, please consider leaving a star rating for them at the top of the screen.
