California Poppies in Bloom!

Took a little detour on our trek back to Oregon to see the blooming California poppies. I couldn't get enough of these happy orange blossoms! And they're so fun to paint! 💛#antelopevalleypoppyreserve #californiapoppy #JensArt

Desert in Spring!

Goodbye Arizona! I will miss your beautiful and rugged landscape. My favorite season to paint the desert is in the spring, so I took a few days to photograph the desert in bloom! Can't wait to paint! 🌵🌼#JensArt

Family Team Effort!

The show take-down crew! Probably not their favorite way to spend spring break...but I'm so glad they're here to help. This truly is a family art business! #JensArt

Aspen and Poppy Commissions installed!

Installed these commissioned paintings last night! My wonderful collectors wanted to bring a splash of color to their beautiful monochromatic home. Color happens to be what I do best! 😉🎨  #JensArt

Texture Talks!

It was fun being on a panel of artists today discussing the use of texture in our art. I did a little painting demo using my palette knives to sculpt in a new aspen painting. 🎨#JensArt #ArtDiscovery #celebrationoffineart

New Cactus Painting using Post-Palette Technique!

Bob and Rhonda have been thinking about this painting since last year when I was just starting my Post-Palette series. They found me again and commissioned this piece--a large saguaro cactus with Pinnacle Peak in the background and red poppies in the foreground. They love the finished result and "Her Majesty" will be heading to Iowa. 🌵 #JensArt #postpaletteart

See what I did with all my leftover paint!

I was feeling patriotic when I created this piece! It took about 10 paintings to build up enough "Post Palette" scrapings. My new collector sent me a photo of it hanging in her home with this message, "Jen, your painting is front and center when anyone enters our home. Love it so much!!  Thanks again!"  ❤️❤️❤️#PostPaletteArt #JensArt

Lavender Fields of Provence!

My new 12x12 "Lavender Delight" framed mini giclée brought back fond memories for this couple of their recent trip to Provence. I love painting these romantic landscapes! And at $275, these little 12x12 gems are so affordable! Everyone can collect a little piece of heaven! 💜

Super fun meeting my Facebook fan, Kath Williams, today at the art show. She loves Aspen trees as much as I do! If you're in AZ, come visit me in Scottsdale. Last day of this 10-week show is March 26th. ❤

Proud to be a Woman!

Happy International Women's Day! This woman is proud to be successful in a previously dominated man's occupation. 30 years ago, women signed only their initials or last names to their art in fear of discrimination affecting sales. Today, women are thriving in the art world! It is 2017 and I am going strong!
