I was finally able to take a few hours out of a day or two and do some painting. I chose a 24 inch by 24 inch plywood sheet as my base.
With Christmas coming, I've been inspired by the Twelve days of Christmas in French (even though it's actually an english ditty.). Probably because everything sounds better in French. Like when you call some one mon petit chou chou and it actually means my little cabbage, cabbage.
It sounds great in French, right? But if you called someone that in English, I bet they'd call you something back even better. ;)
After the sketching, then I get to do the fun painting part.
Why I started with Day 4 I'll never know ( 4 calling birds), I guess it called to me...
I still want to paint day 1 (partridge in a pear tree) and maybe one more day besides that... Maybe I'll have to take a blog vote on it...(just any day but five guh-hooooooooolden rings !).
Also, I would love to have prints made of this picture.. does anyone know how or where I go about that?Maybe that was one of the questions I should have asked an artistic guest or two along the way...

Jen it's gorgeous! You need to paint more! I am also going to be researching art prints, but after the holidays. I know I've looked before and there are a ton online. Maybe someone will have a good reference.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving.
NO WAAAAAY! You DID NOT make that! I knew you were uber-talented, but that painting is mind-blowing! Listen, if you ever figure out how to get a print made, I'm first in line to buy one.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely gifted beyond words.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a wonderful talent you have!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!
Yes I agree you need your own line of prints imagine the possibilities!!!
Fabulous Jen!!
Oh, I love "the twelve days" too! I osrt of have a special connection with it- my husband and I got married 12 days before Christmas, so we had a "twelve days" themed wedding reception. Each our tables was one of the twelve days. Not exactly liturgically correct since Christmas Day is supposed to be day 1, but it was really fun.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the painting turned out just lovely! I'm sorry I don't know a thing about getting it printed!
Beautiful! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an artist! I would love to see more of your paintings. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! You're so talented...

Try searching Giclee prints. I believe you would need to send in a digital image and then they would print them on canvas or high quality paper.
ReplyDeleteoh Jen - this is so fabulous! Beautiful work!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. To have a gift like that would be amazing! It's beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving Jen!
ReplyDeleteIf I had an ounce of your talent I would be so HAPPY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!

Beautiful Jen!!!!! I'm so very glad that you are taking the time for your artwork....it's so very beautiful!!! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving ~ hugs and love, Dawn
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a beautiful painting! You should sell on Etsy if you don't already!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is beautiful! Good luck with getting prints made. I'm certain they would sell fast.
ReplyDeleteOH I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI know this doesn't help you, by my local art gallery where I get some things framed has someone who makes them giclee prints from paintings, and they claim the process is relatively inexpensive...and having seen the results I can say they're pretty amazing.
And my vote is for 9 Ladies Dancing. :-)
Jen, this is gorgeous! Such a fabulous idea and I love how it is a Christmas touch, but will blend right in with your decor. All of the detail is beautiful. I think you should do a painting of a partridge in a pear tree.
