"Silver Sentinels" 60 x 36 original

This is a painting I've wanted to do for a long time--a close-up of just aspen trunks. I got a little carried away with the thick texture--it's more like a sculpture than a painting! The canvas is quite heavy, in fact. This piece is a bit more "contemporary" than my norm--almost abstract seeming. There is also a little detail that I added to one of the trunks....

A Meadow of Flowers--painted 8 ways!

This particular scene is one of my favorite ones, and apparently it is to my collectors as well! I've painted it as small as a 6" x 6" to as big as 84" x 60". See which version is your favorite!

The first meadow painting, "Joyful Spring" 48" x 48" (above)

The second version of the same meadow of wild flowers. "Evening Promise" 48" x 60"(above)

A third painting of the same scene, commissioned by clients who asked for a "blue" sky rather than "yellow". "Evening Promise II", 48" x 60" (above)

The fourth painting taken from the same subject matter--but in a very large 60" x 85" vertical (above)

This is the tiniest version of the meadow--a 6" x 6" painting titled, "Spring" (above)

The Joy of Spring" commissioned in a 48 x 60 by a couple from Chicago (above)

"Lovely Spring" in a Seasons series. 24 x 36. This was the first of the four seasons to sell at the Royal Street Gallery in Colorado. (above)

And this is the latest painting, just finished yesterday! The clients plan to place this painting above their mantel. It is a huge 84" x 60" horizontal, titled: "Evening Meadow". We're still trying to figure out how to ship this thing to Florida!

This is a perfect example of how an artist can paint the same scene over and over--but have each painting turn out differently. An original painting is always unique! I alway tell my clients when they wish to commision a painting they've seen me do before--that it will not be a "copy" of the one before. It will be similar yes, but never exact. That is what makes an 'original' so special.

Fall Confetti - new aspen forest painting by Jennifer Vranes

Fall is here! This really is my favorite time of year--especially for painting. Great autumn colors! This fall scene captures the beauty of this season. The texture of the Aspen Trees is extremely thick! I can't seem to get enough texture. I just sent this painting off to my Gallery in Aspen, Colorado. They keep asking me for more work--especially of scenes with lots of RED and YELLOW.

Evening Promise II - New Aspen Painting by Jennifer Vranes

This particular image has been very popular this month. I've painted variations of this scene five times! Each client requests a different size, with minute changes to fit their individual preferences. In the commission below, the clients requested a brilliant blue sky and a light source that comes the front of the painting--illuminating the trees and meadow. In the first piece, I had a yellow sky that back lit the forest. The clients approved the commission, and we shipped it off today!

"Myriad of Colour" commission

This piece was commissioned by a client who liked the first "Myriad of Colours" (48 x 48), but needed it in a different size. This happens quite frequently. A client will walk into a Gallery, like a certain piece, but end up commissioning me to do the same piece again but with a few changes to make it work. This client wanted the painting to be a horizontal...but retain the same "flavor" as the first. Here is the result:

New Aspen Painting - Aspen Blue I

I really enjoy painting aspen trees. There is nothing quite as blue as a Colorado Sky.

Enjoy!
