Paradise

5" x 7" oil on stretched canvas

Mid winter in the north is cold and dark and full of snow. It makes me long for warm sun and bright colours, like this Bird of Paradise flower.

I toned the canvas with a cool pink (Hornyak Pink by Kama Pigments) that I let peek through the paint and add interest.

Have a peek at what's available in my Waifs & Strays sale of original art which continues until January 31st. Free shipping on most pieces within North America!

You can find more of my work on my website Jeanette Jobson Fine Art, my blog, Illustrated Life and on Facebook and Twitter.

I am a professional visual artist in northeastern Newfoundland and Labrador. I am inspired by the ocean and boats. Reflections and colour are a large part of my work as well as creating the nuances in values that make these things so unique. I am an impressionist painter working with a palette knife, however, I do use other mediums for small paintings and create original prints in the form of linocuts and etchings. You can find my larger works on my website www.jeanettejobson.com. The process of creating a piece of art is often shown on my blog http://illustratedlife.blogspot.com through works in progress, tutorials and sometimes giveaways! I also accept commissions and teach drawing and palette knife painting through workshops and privately. You can also find me on Facebook (jeanette Jobson Fine Art) or Twitter (jeanettejobson). Drop by and say hello, I'd love to meet you and share my journey.
