Woodworkers in the Gallery

These are photos of the woodworkers that are represented in my gallery. They are all veterans who served our country and now dedicate their time and talent to wood. Come by the Gallery and take a look at their wood crafting art. Besides these pieces, they have much more on display and for sale.

Steve, John and Michael are very talented artists-come enjoy their creations.

Organizing the New Art Studio

We worked late into the night last night getting the railing up for the walker system to hang the paintings. It looks really good and works even better. Today, I am going there to organize, clean, hang paintings and just get going. I'm so excited about having a place to set up all my painting supplies and leave them out and room to just create! I'll post photos as soon as I get them uploaded.
Till then,
Happy Painting,
Jennylynne

New Studio move in date-tomorrow!

Finally, the day has come. I got the key to my new studio and went to start cleaning. I swept the floors, mopped the main floor and bathroom-ugh! Okay this part is not the fun part!!!! All the utilities get turned on tomorrow-so a final cleaning and vacuuming will be on the agenda for tomorrow. Then-moving in!!!!!

Mike has been painting the picture hanging rail and I am ordering the walker wall system stuff today. I can't wait to get in and set up and then start PAINTING!!! I am really getting backed up on portraits. Oh well, soon it will be all smooth sailing.
I'll keep you posted on the Open House Date-till then-

Adobe at Rio Hondo

Adobe at Rio Hondo, along with Shadows on the Pond, was juried into the Holiday Show at Got Art Gallery in Lee's Summit, Mo. on 3rd Street. These two pieces will be on display thru December 21st. The artist reception is scheduled for December 4th from 6-9pm. (wine and refreshments provided by Gallery)

This piece was created on site in Taos, New Mexico during a plein aire trip in April, 2009. This building and others at this location are over 100 years old. They are on a ranch that remains in the original family. Though the ranch is no longer a working one, the family has retained the buildings instead of tearing them down to preserve their history. Artists still flock to the ranch to paint the many structures still standing on the property. It was great to paint a piece of New Mexico's history. The original owners had come from Mexico in the days before New Mexico was a state, to establish a new life in the new country.

Hope you will stop by and enjoy all the wonderful art that is on display. Great place to get a unique Christmas gift.

See you there,

Jennylynne
