Miniature landscape painting of the Tuscany sunset

Posted on December 7, 2007 by jennifereyoung| 2 Comments

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:

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.

Grand Venice painted as a small vignette

Posted on December 5, 2007 by jennifereyoung| 2 Comments

Though the subject matter is vast and expansive, this painting is tiny. I enjoy the looseness of it. With a painting this size you can’t help but be loose! The little gondolier and other people were a challenge, so I resorted to a size 0 brush in some places:

The image is about true to size. Painted on a mini gallery wrapped canvas with edges painted a near black (the gondola color). This is offered on its own or with an accompanying mini easel. Additional pictures and info will be added to the website later, but you saw it here first. Please contact me for all the details.  Available to ship this weekend, after my openings Thursday and Friday. Update: just sold! To see the other small works I still have available for sale, please click here and here.

“Lingering Light, Tuscany” miniature oil painting

Posted on December 4, 2007 by jennifereyoung| Leave a comment

More “small stuff” today as I continue preparations for Thursday night’s gallery anniversary party and the First Fridays Art Walk that follows. This little painting shows the setting Tuscan sun over a sloping grove of olive trees .  There is a companion to this little painting that I’ll try to post soon.

It’s an odd size, I know, but I do have a frame for it. It would also look great unframed, just perched on a mini easel.

I am enjoying the long horizontal format I’ve used in these pieces and in my previous painting of Venice. That’s the great thing about making small works–you can experiment with formats and compositions (mediums too) with less sweat, tears, and expense than is sometimes required of a large canvas. And if they don’t work out, they fit into the trashbin  a whole lot easier! I think this one’s a keeper though. ;-)

Getting ready for tomorrow night’s art opening

Posted on May 3, 2007 by jennifereyoung| Leave a comment

I’m busy today doing the last minute touches for a show that opens at my Richmond, Virginia studio tomorrow night. Read here for the details. No oil painting in the last couple of days so I thought I’d share a sketch of Venice, from one of my sketchbooks:
