Jade and Tulips

By Jenny Armitage

Years ago I celebrated a new job by purchasing a jewelry box I had coveted for several years.  I love oriental furniture with it’s brass hinges and inset  jade and soapstone.  I find a whole room full of  such furniture much too heavy.  But the jewelry box was everything I loved about the furniture... »

Lily With Red Carnations

By Jenny Armitage

Yes there are red carnations in the painting. You just haven’t looked closely enough. Both the carnations and the lily come from the Valentine’s Day bouquet my husband gave me this year. The Danish silverware vase was my Mother’s.  So the painting is a family affair. The fact that the lily inevitably points... »

Afterglow: Pink Coneflower

By Jenny Armitage

Afterglow (8 x8 inch watercolor) Painted from a photo I took in my front yard last year, this is a close up of my pink cone flowers (echinacea). Like mums and asters, coneflowers are a reliable late summer flower. In the late afternoon light they just glow. I only have five of them... »

The Magic Bowl II

By Jenny Armitage

I wasn’t entirely satisfied with Magic Bowl I. One on the things I thought lacking was textural contrast and I found the paperweight that formed the center of interest to be a weak point in the painting. The daffodil provides both color and textural contrast. I also gave the background more texture... »

Spools and Spindles: Back the Mission Mill Museum

By Jenny Armitage

I love the Mission Mill Museum and we often take visitors there.  We took my parents over the Christmas holiday and I snapped some more photos inside the mill.  Neither flash nor tripods are permitted inside, so photography is a challenge.  But the dark photos have a genuine feel since there was very little... »

Derelict Dock at Sunset

Sundown on the Broken Dock (12 x 16) $150 Brown Minto Park is one of our local haunts. The park boarders the Willamette on one side and a truck farm on the other. Bicycle trials, bark dust trails, and a dog park lie within it’s boarders. The park has forest, field, and... »

Weatherford Hall

By Administration

This is another painting from my winter morning walk on Oregon State University. Weatherford Hall is probably the photographed building on campus and with reason. That morning the sun lit up just the top eastern half of the building. I decided to focus on the the central archway and so I cropped out... »

Shadows, Glass, and Leaves

By Administration

Driving down Commercial last summer, I was struck by the shadows of leaves on a stucco building.  I reached for my camera and discovered I’d left it at home.  I drove home hurriedly to get it.  My daughters in the back seat were remarkable patient with me as I drove round the block twice... »

After the Slumber Party

By Administration

This Friday, my daughters went to a slumber party.  Predictably they stayed up until one.   They got up at eight.   When I picked my girls and a friend of theirs up at noon, they had just finished breakfast and were wide awake and chattering.   We stopped to drop our guest’s things at... »

Cass Up Close

By Administration

This pretty young lady is a friend of my daughters.  I took the photo almost to years ago for drawing practice.   Browsing through my photo files yesterday, I decided to crop it close and paint it.  After painting landscapes and not much else at shows, I really wanted to do a portrait again. The... »
