I love Audrey Kawasaki's Style.....

12x15 Oil and graphite on Birch
by Jennifer Winship Mark

This is a wooden tray I painted using Audrey Kawasaki's Imagery. She has an amazing pencil line and light touch with oil. This was an experiment with all these new mediums. It was quick and really fun to try.

6x6 Jessica's Dream Oil and graphite on Birch
by Jennifer Winship Mark

This is en experiment on birch board using an imagininary girl. It is called Jessica's Dream. It is only 6 x6 and was very quick and fun, although a little "rough around the edges".

Trying to find my style.....

Margie's Funky Smile is a large 36 x36 acrylic

Jennifer Winship Mark

I did several years ago. I had a blast painting it and I have
wanted to go back and try a few more "funky faces"
but I can't seem to settle on a style I love!

I need your help deciding which direction I should
go with my art......?

Looking out to Sea- Acrylic on canvas 36x24
Jennifer Winship Mark

I love the romance and classicism of this painting
I was thinking of the great American painter, Frank Benson
when I completed this acrylic....................what do you think of
this style?????

Black and White is the perfect addition ...

What good is being an artist if no one sees your work?

These are all part of a collection of 20 charts and 10 stillifes I have just sitting in my studio because I have been too lazy too contact galleries in the last year.



I took some new photos after reading an article in I'd Rather Be in The Studio . I realized some of the blurry crooked photos could be improved.
I am presenting these pieces to the Bronze Coast Gallery in Canon Beach Oregon.

Here is another finished nautical chart painted over with acrylic paint with some added collage elements

I originally did these pieces for the cruise industry. I think they should have great appeal to Northwesterners who love the coastal sports of fishing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking.



I can't imaging how daunting it would be to be sailing like this out in the middle of the pacific.
I included a small excerpt from a sailor's writing that I ran across.....
"Never take the fresh breath of the ocean for granted for the wind can vanish without the slightest hint of where it has gone" This is what is written in the cartouche at the upper left.



This stillife is surrounded by pages torn from the
Gray's Anatomy Book for Doctors.
I have been tearing up my book like a mad woman. I know this must bring great pleasure to many medical students that have spent years slaving over that thick and unforgiving book.



I love working with gold leaf. Laying the light as air leaves down onto my sticky ground is like catching a ghost in honey. I just contacted the master guilder Nancy Thorn to see if I could get some real instruction in this area. There is so much gorgeous art out there covered in gold leaf.
It is not as complicated as it seems, however to be a master like Nancy Thorn takes years.

Artist's Vision

I need to come up with 3 paintings for an up coming art show entitled "The Artist's Vision" I was inspired by several different artists. These images were found on the amazing site that the artist Audrey Kawasaki has set up fffound

This big eyed girl is an inspiration for another painting. It reminds me of Sas Christian's paintings
This incredible photo is from Delores on the Dotted Line. It is great inspiration for a future painting.
