It's already getting darker earlier and even in Florida it feels like fall is on the way. Except it's still really hot and humid and will continue to be until we hit October. <br />

Above is a little watercolor I did of shadows on a beach. Sorry for the long absence here. I hope to be blogging again on a regular basis.

Painting the same view with different mediums: The top painting was done with oil, the bottom one was painted with watercolors. Both are 8x10 inches in size. I've been teaching a few of my classes using this subject. It's both a landscape and seascape view. Techniques employing atmospheric perspective as well as linear perspective are used to create the sense of depth. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2by1ZViZ45TgbBsVNhl1JbolK5I-UW2dHB_YF6TDdaRsz69OMhcb9fb0m3kfBdF9fNlHga8GTHxKsJ_5P-hmVqhARtjaszvZ1fIzT-pkhlTXP5ikDZVq0iYS7tn1kqSs4Tbly/s1600/2-FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2by1ZViZ45TgbBsVNhl1JbolK5I-UW2dHB_YF6TDdaRsz69OMhcb9fb0m3kfBdF9fNlHga8GTHxKsJ_5P-hmVqhARtjaszvZ1fIzT-pkhlTXP5ikDZVq0iYS7tn1kqSs4Tbly/s320/2-FullSizeRender.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I recently went through a bunch of my earlier work to find images I could use for greeting cards. Here are some examples of older work that show one of the styles I used to paint, using watercolor with pen and ink. The disadvantage of using ink with WC is it can give a cartoon-like quality to your painting, as seen here. Although I rarely use this technique anymore, I had fun with it for quite a while.Jenna Star Friedmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615925339062158814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37334581.post-47924417180231342712015-10-05T23:03:00.000-04:002015-10-05T23:05:50.792-04:00Blue Jay's World<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

BLUE JAY'S WORLD, Watercolor, 11x14" <br />
Here's a watercolor I recently finished of a blue jay looking out over a field. A few of the techniques used in this painting are flat and variegated washes, spattering, layering, and negative painting. Much of the beauty of watercolor is in the unpredictability of exact outcomes. This unpredictability is also the greatest challenge to creating a successful watercolor painting. It helps to learn and practice, practice, practice some fun techniques.

Newest painting: IBIS AT THE BAY, Oil, 11x14<br />
I painted this mostly en plein air at Howard Park, Tarpon Springs, FL. I went to the same location for two weeks to work on it. The three little ibis(es?) came along while I was painting the scene so I quickly sketched them and also took a photo. It's hard to paint wildlife that are moving right along! Later in my studio I added the birds and some finishing touches. I'm happy with the way I caught the light and shade. This painting is currently on view at the Downtown Gallery, New Port Richey FL.

I've been nominated for the Artist's Challenge of posting 3 paintings a day for 5 consecutive days, by <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1680755780" href="https://www.facebook.com/jana.withers" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Jana Withers</a>. This is my first day but I've been having some issues with my computer so I'm hoping I can get these posted before the day is over. So here goes ... I'm starting with three earlier plein air paintings, a watercolor - Green Key Palms, an oil - Kayaks on the Causeway, and a pastel - Honeymoon Path.</div>

This is day 3 of 5 of the Artist's Challenge for me. These paintings were done a couple of years ago, all were done in plein air and are 6 inch squares. Two of them are from a "Lifeguard" series I was working on. All three are oils.</div>

I'm also posting day 4 of the 5 day challenge, (which is actually today.I couldn't get day 3 up yesterday) These were all painted from life, meaning not from photos, and represent a variety of mediums. JG Ranch Road - oil, Pond Reflections - Pastel, Floral Still Life - Oil, and Green Key Beach - Acrylic.To be continued, in next post.</div>

I wanted to add some of my watercolors to Day 4 of the Artists' Five Day Challenge. These paintings range from the 1980s to present day works. Also I want to say I appreciate everyone's comments so far - I haven't been responding individually because it's been a busy week, but I hope to go back and do that later. Thank you.</div>

Day 5 of the Artists Challenge. My last day. It has been a good challenge since it's gotten easier for me to post my work and I've gotten such positive feedback. I've asked a few different artists I know if I could nominate them and I'm happy to announce that <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100006494387685" href="https://www.facebook.com/eva.allen.583" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Eva Allen</a> , and <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1576727473" href="https://www.facebook.com/christine.eckerfield" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Christine Eckerfield</a> have agreed to accept. Thank you ladies! And thank you <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1680755780" href="https://www.facebook.com/jana.withers" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Jana Withers</a> and<a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1175147916" href="https://www.facebook.com/phoebe.chidester" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Phoebe Chidester</a> for nominating me!<br />
Now that it's the last day I'm finding it difficult to narrow it down to which ones to post. In the beginning I wasn't sure if I could find enough. These four are all done in Acrylics and have won prizes in competitions. I will end my Challenge with my personal slogan - Paint On!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">This was a commission piece for a client who was originally from Texas. She wanted a painting of bluebonnets, the state flower. I don't usually do commissions anymore, but I was given free rein to come up with how and what I wanted to paint. Never having been to Texas, I had to research to learn what the flower looks like and typical terrain where it grows. This painting came to me from several images I saw while learning about the flower. </span></div>

Here's a watercolor painting I did recently as a demo for my WC Studio class, showing how to paint wet-in-wet sunset clouds.<br />

This was a quick demo for a workshop I taught at the college (Encore Academy, Pasco Hernando State College) last spring. I was again demonstrating the wet-in-wet technique with watercolors, using it this time while painting trees and foliage. I like loose, expressive paintings rather than tightly controlled realism. Painting wet-in-wet is one way to avoid getting too tight, because so much of what happens is out of your control - and often surprises happen - known as "happy accidents" when they come out well!</div>

Here's my painting for this year's Brush with the Blues plein air event for the Blueberry Festival in Brooksville. I called it "View from City Hall" because I painted it in the parking lot there. I won Third Place! Below you can see it framed and hanging inside for the exhibit. The lighting there isn't great but you get the idea. </div>

Here are my best plein air painting buddies after a delectable lunch at Mallie Kyla's cafe in Brooksville, FL. I'm the one in the middle. Last week we were all painting out in different locations around Brooksville for the annual Brush with the Blues Plein Air competition (except for Rhonda - at top of stairs - who was in charge of organizing the event and had to work during it ) In order starting from the top of the stairs are: Rhonda, Jana, Jenna (me), Anneke, and Phoebe. The awards were presented at the Blueberry Festival at a Sunday morning breakfast for the painters, judged by Tom Jones -the well-known watercolor artist. Anneke won First Place this year! I won Third Place! Everyone did beautiful work! I will post my painting soon. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErWyEOEFecv_0T0zvleNbUwFRg7QFOx7hMzGL4gxzJHm7onUztxKuVW4lx8JJtGHDh5zhbVtKmXqACj5YHXK7xIZWUHxOuAtCI2UeeZnBD6X9Fmm_dPkhOjNPs0y7xmu8A4A-/s1600/BrooksvilleBrushWBluesGroup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiErWyEOEFecv_0T0zvleNbUwFRg7QFOx7hMzGL4gxzJHm7onUztxKuVW4lx8JJtGHDh5zhbVtKmXqACj5YHXK7xIZWUHxOuAtCI2UeeZnBD6X9Fmm_dPkhOjNPs0y7xmu8A4A-/s1600/BrooksvilleBrushWBluesGroup.jpg" height="298" width="400" /></a></div>

I thought I'd put up some watercolors for a change. Some are done during class demos and some during my own time, but most of them have not been named or sized or matted and so are not ready to be put on my website --<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. I'm always painting -- I have to! --but I'm not great at keeping up with the stuff that needs to be done to get my paintings out there. Like photographing, filing, naming, sizing, signing, matting, framing, organizing, posting etc etc -- the stuff that's not actually painting. I don't like to do the business side of art. I don't know many artists that do. Enough excuses. Here goes, I'm making another resolution to get consistent and organized. <br />

I was very happy to be awarded FIRST PLACE for this painting!!! A little background story: We had Wednesday, Thursday and half of Friday to paint on location anywhere in Brooksville. The paintings were judged and the reception held on Saturday, May 4. It rained both days that I went there to paint, but luckily there were periods of just drizzle and I was using acrylics this time so I was able to paint anyway. I set up on the street, looking at a back view of the courthouse. I was drawn by the composition of the magnificent palms that were in the parking area there, with the old courthouse in the background. I tried to capture the drizzly gray weather contrasted with the colorful foreground palm leaves. As I was painting on Friday morning before the noon deadline, some landscapers came with their cherry-pickers and cut off all the bottom leaves and seeds of the palms -- leaving them looking vastly different with just a few of the top leaves left! Luckily I had already gotten most of it painted. Plein air painting has many challenges: difficult weather and energetic landscapers are two of them!<br />

This was one of my star paintings at the Artists Market show at the Leepa Rattner Museum in Tarpon Spriungs last weekend - Oct. 13 and 14. It got a lot of interest and I told a few people it would be up on my website so they could look at it later. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to post until today for some reason. This fairly large painting is a lively still life of lilies in shades of pinks and golds. Looks especially good in the wide gold fame I showed it in. FLORAL III, Acrylic, 16x12", $325, add $100 for the frame.</div>

Storm Approaching, Oil, 11x14 - This is one of the original paintings I sold on Saturday Oct. 20, during Studio Waltz in Dunedin, FL. Unfortunately I don't have photos of the other two originals I sold- or at least I can't find them on my computer right now. I also sold several matted prints and handmade cards during the day. The weather was beautiful - in the low 80s with a fresh breeze all day - I had a great time!! As I have for the past few years, I was set up by the lake in front of Blake White and Carol Sackman's amazing Mozaic House - studio #9 on the Open Studio tour. So I got to paint en plein air in between talking to all the visitors. A wonderful day!<br />

After a few conversations, she came out one day while our group, West Coast Plein Air - Florida, was painting at Orange Lake in downtown New Port Richey. Click on the link below to see a great newspaper article about it. (Unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to figure out how to post the actual article here without all kinds of ads and other extra bits.)<br />

Our plein air group, West Coast Plein Air - Florida, painted out for a couple of months during the summer at Honeymoon Island. We were comfortable despite the Florida heat because we were invited to paint in the shade of the South Beach Cafe. Of course we followed our tough mornings of painting the surrounding beauty with delicious lobster rolls for lunch from the Cafe. Good times! These three paintings are all done in oil. From the top: Honeymoon View, 8x10; Secluded Beach, 11x14; Storm Approaching, 11x14. <br />Jenna Star Friedmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615925339062158814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37334581.post-35587087288236922702012-07-02T09:58:00.001-04:002012-07-02T10:05:06.182-04:00Swamp Spring Morning<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Xd13tC6Dj5yl7P8zfNIGsfPn8Xl_vuvUppOL4ltxx2urEKF_bEuU5n4iMVYwhyphenhyphenIS4S2eGiFP7_5JYyUYlNRgh3Kg8Xb5KtJOfw9JSnLwG9rgIO0jCuxkTz9HntgM7D9oZ_QV/s1600/DSCN6991.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Xd13tC6Dj5yl7P8zfNIGsfPn8Xl_vuvUppOL4ltxx2urEKF_bEuU5n4iMVYwhyphenhyphenIS4S2eGiFP7_5JYyUYlNRgh3Kg8Xb5KtJOfw9JSnLwG9rgIO0jCuxkTz9HntgM7D9oZ_QV/s320/DSCN6991.JPG" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0;" /></a><br />

Here is my winning painting, "Red Door" which won First Place in the Plein Air competition at the Florida Blueberry Festival in Brooksville, May 5 and 6, 2012. I painted this view of the old Christmas House in Brooksville. It's 14x11" and done in acrylic. <br />

I thought I'd include some of my preliminary steps to the final painting. Above you can see a couple of pages from my sketchbook, with thumbnail sketches to work out the composition -- my students groan when I tell them they must do thumbnails first, but putting in the time to do it really helps me work out the focal point and plan my composition to get what I want to achieve. Under the sketches, is the oil under-painting I started on Wednesday afternoon, the first day I went out painting. Because this was a plein air competition, all canvases had to be stamped before starting out and turned in at the end of each day, so that people don't go home and use photos and other technological means to enhance their paintings. When I went back out on Friday to finish up, I realized I didn't want to use this first version of the painting because it emphasized the tree and not the red door, which was my focal point. So I started completely over, this time with acrylics since I knew I only had an hour and a half until I had to turn it in at noon. I raced and slapped the paint on to get it done in time. At the top of this post you can see the final painting that I submitted for judging. I was quite surprised (very happily!) when I found out I won first place.Jenna Star Friedmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615925339062158814noreply@blogger.com0
