Here’s one of many small pieces that will featured in my “Small Stuff” show that opens next week at Jennifer Young Studio & Gallery. It’s a colorful still life painting of apples in a translucent red bowl:

Set on a gold mini easel, this little piece is great on a shelf or mantle with other objects d’art. In the gallery I have it grouped with a couple of my gallery wrapped mini florals:

Do you Squidoo? My new lens on hanging artwork.

Posted on October 30, 2007 by jennifereyoung| Leave a comment

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.

Red Zinnias

Posted on February 2, 2007 by jennifereyoung| 3 Comments

Ah red. I am so attracted to this color. If you walk into my house almost every room has at least a little touch of red (not every room but almost!) My kitchen is painted a wonderful deep shade of red. The color of blood, red symbolizes life and vitality. It also symbolizes passion and fire. In Feng Shui, red is associated with romance, wealth, and happiness. I suppose it is no wonder I am attracted to it.

This painting is 12 inches high by 6 inches wide. It is painted on a gallery wrapped canvas, and the edges are finished off with a color that coordinates with the painting.

For more information, please contact me.

Lilacs and Forsythia

Posted on February 1, 2007 by jennifereyoung| Leave a comment

Today I’d like to share another little still life painting I just completed. It is oil on canvas, measuring 8×8 inches. It is done on a gallery wrapped canvas, and the edges are finished off in a color that compliments the painting:

still life impressionist painting

This painting reminds me of springtime in Virginia. Forsythia abounds, as do azeleas, dogwoods and lilacs. It’s supposed to be a snowy slushy mess today so spring is little early yet. But the optimist in me still contends that it is not far off. Meanwhile I wear long johns and paint.

For more about this painting, please click on the image or contact me.
