The Green Mister

By Jenny Armitage

This is probably the last watercolor for my one woman mini show this coming April at Art in the Valley, Corvallis Oregon. I’m using a new technique to replace liquid mask when reserving soft edged areas of white paper in many of  my latest still lifes.   Puddles of clear water on the paper will resist... »

Tony Meoli

By admin

http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/anthony-meoli.html To be clear, I do 100% of the designs, but I have a glass-blower who completes my visions.  Glass-blowing takes 20-30 years to perfect, so I cannot compete with that, so I use his expertise in that arena, I do the designing – sort of like Jeff Koons.  All the designs below are mine, original,... »

Apples and Oranges

By Jenny Armitage

I had to watch my youngest daughter like a hawk to get this one painted.  She loves the sweet miniature Clementine oranges and kept threatening to eat my still life before I had it painted.  I don’t blame her much.  Clemetines are so very sweet and so small you can eat three or four... »

Spring in my Window

By Jenny Armitage

We planted a two ornamental cherry trees the year we moved into this house.  Five years later the trees put on quite a show each Spring.  The branches I take inside don’t make a dent in the abundance of blooms. I made two fundamental design decisions in painting this image.  Both help make the blossoms... »

Jade and Tulips: Take Two

By Jenny Armitage

This is much the same composition and color scheme as  Jade and Tulips I.  I lowered the tulips which causes them to stand out more than in the original version, but makes the upper line of the composition less interesting.  Including more of the jewelry box increased it’s three dimensionality as did opening thing... »

Tulips, Jade and Books

By Jenny Armitage

Our house is covered in floor to ceiling book shelves.    So it was really only a matter of time before the shelves showed up in one of my still lifes.  This time they feature only as a reflection. Or purchase a print from Fine Art America.com. »

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... »

Nautilus and Marble, Still Playing with Color

By Jenny Armitage

Same nautilus, new angle, new colors–after several attempts to paint the nautilus in it’s true colors, I think I understand why I keep changing them.  The shell’s shadows are warmer colors than it’s highlights.  Most real world objects have cooler shadows and warmer highlights.  But the standards of the shell have warm local color... »

Nautilus With Glass, A Color Fantasy

By Jenny Armitage

My husband and I spent last weekend on the Oregon Coast. The weather was so fine we hardly even went inside at all.  So on our last day having not set foot in a shop all weekend,  it occurred to us we had bought nothing for our daughters.  So we stopped in... »

The Opening

By Jenny Armitage

This is one more painting from my Valentine’s Day bouquet. In the clear glass vase the lilies are much softer and less dramatic. I emphasized the soft back-lighting. The palette is only slightly different than Lily with Carnations. I added dioxazine violet which I substituted for phthalo blue when underpainting the lilies.... »
