Jen wants to paint fantastical things!

[FaerieMajikk]

I like to try lots of things: pastels, oils, acrylics i have even made quite a few OOAK polymer clay sculpts of faeries etc. I like watercolour as it is quick, but i can not resist the smell of oils!
if you like creating quick sketches you should really come and join us for the monthly Sketch Fest started by Ellen Million!

That girl in the very first post stands like I do. (I dunno why, but if I'm shoeless and stationary, chances are I'll be standing on one leg like some kind of bird).

Man, these pictures are awesome. Most envious, painting's always been beyond me and I'm only good at drawing if I'm copying something. Love the caravan one, disappearing into the distance.

[JenJen]

Hello hello!

I love standing on one leg too. Not sure why that is. Just seems more comfortable? Although that doesn't really make any sense.

Here's a quick study of a tribal belly dancer:



And a steampunk inspired explorer, emerging from a teacup ...
... I don't know!

[Vertigo]

Love that first one, once again you do do movement and expressions very well.

Love the second picture as well, though the emerging from tea cup bit... I guess you've already answered the obvious question with "I don't know"

[Ursa major]

Perhaps that explorer doesn't like to fly in saucers....


(And I agree with Vertigo: your picture of the dancer is full of movement and energy.)

[JenJen]

Been in a bit of a belly boogie mood lately, so here's a cleaned up version of that blue painting:



And a red dancer to accompany her!

[Parson]

Wow, JenJen. All I can say is wow. I think you have both talent and a gift.

[Mouse]

Super, super pretty, Jen. I love the skirts!

[JenJen]

Yay Thank you my dears!

To avoid upsetting any forum rules. Here's a link to another painting in progress: http://jenspiration-now.blogspot.com...aint-scan.html

[Vertigo]

Excellent - a bit darker than your other stuff, but I guess a graphic novel can't all be lightness and smiles

[Ursa major]

...and as it isn't meant to be humorous, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit blue.

[The Judge]

It's obvious she's turned blue because she's catching her death of cold! Don't any of these women believe in wearing clothes?!

[JenJen]

A man... complaining about lack of clothes on women?! Gasp! Heresy!

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and the final version has been posted on the blog: http://jenspiration-now.blogspot.com...bout-time.html

If that's The Judge you're referring to, you're making a common but incorrect assumption, I'm afraid...

Oh really!?
That's a surprise in the morning for me.

But then again, I guess there's no female way of saying Judge. Judgess...
