Autumn Pear - SOLD
5" x 7" oil on panel
Silence
doesn't mean I'm not painting. It means its head down mode and full
steam ahead. I'm trying to make up time in the boat series after
deciding that one piece just wasn't working for me, and there was no
choice but to restart it.
I think we all know when we
don't put our best out there. Sometimes its easy to let something go
just because its the path of least resistance, even if we know something
is not right with the painting. Yes, I could have added the piece but,
to me, it would have stuck out like a sore thumb in exhibition and
niggled at me constantly.
So now its being redone and coming
along nicely. I've also got #9 on the easel and am pretty much on track
again for time - or I hope so.
Of course with the end
of one painting, the inevitable "end of palette" small painting was in
order. An autumn pear. Pears are likely the most over painted subject
in the world, some good, some bad and some very bad. To give them their
dues, the shape is simple and value can be complex depending on the
lighting. Its the perfect beginner's fruit to test painting skills with
in all mediums.
When I finish all the boats in the
series, it might be fun to see if people can match the end of palette
painting with the actually painting, based on colours used.

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.
