NEW BEGINNINGS
I like to share my latest paintings in it’s early stages, it is…humbling.
It starts as nothing and has no real direction and looks, well, like not much. It only turns to something with some work, creativity, edits, frustrations, ah-ha moments, big gains, and ultimately (hopefully) satisfaction. Very much like life, wouldn’t you say?
If you enjoy watching the process and other random moments of me as I bring this one to being, you can follow along on my instagram.
LATEST FINISHED PAINTING
“At Attention”.
Filling my canvas with these bright and full bloomed flowers, these Gerbera Daisies stare right back at me, like a captive audience waiting to be engaged.
They will win the staring contest though, so don’t try.
One I started adding the detail to each petal, I realized just how many petals there were, and hunkered down for a long sitting. But how therapeutic it was, seeing each flower pop to life with simple light and dark strokes of the brush.
Currently on display in the halls of UW Hospital, Madison WI.
“At Attention”, 36” x 36”, Acrylic on Canvas, 2025
Stop on over to my recently added blog page, Jenuinely Speaking. Stories of the inspirations behind my paintings, more info on the subjects, as well as my own random thoughts.
Original Paintings by Jen Day
My paintings are largely inspired by photos I have taking during my travels. This really is a beautiful world we live in.
Miniature Paintings by Jen Day
Created with as much love of the process as my full size paintings, my mini’s are scaled to fit almost anywhere.
