Thinking of Changing Back to This Site

 I've had my website for quite a few years now but I just can't see the reason to keep it. JbeaudetStudios.com is the domain name. I think I can transfer it to this one. I'm not sure how to go about all of that techie stuff. 

This blog is free, other than my domain name JenniferBeaudetartist. I might change that too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I was thinking I could just go back to the way I started. I posted on here and linked it to my etsy. Etsy has change so much since I started in 2009. It's hard to be seen on there and hard to compete with other countries. But, I do get seen and do sell on there. I really can't say that my website has helped me besides, looking nice. 

Here's a new one I did from a photo from Elizabeth Mitchell, from a Facebook photo sharing group. It's in France and I added the chickens. I've been wanting to do clothesline paintings for sometime now. 

I did this one on canvas paper using oil paints. I didn't do a great job measuring it beforehand but I think it's about 6x8? 

We're going back to Europe soon and I hope to find many more things to paint! 

I've sold a few paintings and some prints recently. Today this one sold!

If you get a chance pop over to my Etsy to see if there's anything that catches your eye! I'm trying to clear up some space around here! 

Until later! Happy Spring!

Busy March Passing by Like A Lion!

 

16x20 inch oil on canvas

It's been a few months since I've posted anything but I've been busy painting and working. Where does the time go? Well, I've also been planning for our trip to Italy! I'm so excited about it and I've been shopping for the perfect shoes...I haven't found them so I will be wearing my tennis shoes everywhere. I know it won't look good but my feet will be happy. 

This piece is still drying by I just want to share my updated version. Below is what it started as.

It looked nice before but I wanted to give it more oomf. I thought it felt a little flat. I also warmed it up with my favorite color right now (Indian yellow). I love it! 

That's all for now. Have a beautiful day! 

PS I'm having a SALE for SPRING in my etsy shop! 

Old Hollywood Glamour to Classical Ballet...Inspiration is Everywhere!

 

"Love You" available here

I am inspired by romance and old Hollywood black and white photos are full of that. This is inspired by Jean Harlow. There's a little message in there for you! 

"Sugarplum Fairies at Rest" available here

This is a 24x24 inch acrylic on canvas. We attended the Nutcracker Ballet at the Segerstrom, in Costa Mesa. It was so nice to dress up and get a little culture. I took this photo with my phone and thought I was being very discreet until someone tapped me on the shoulder. She said please don't. When the lights came on I tried to explain the I'm an artist and I really want to paint this. She didn't care. I saw other people doing the same (no flash, of course) Anyway, it was funny...but I really couldn't help it! I was compelled to snap these photos to paint the beauty I was feeling. I thought about how other artists would go about painting the ballet. It's not possible to set up my easel and paint in the dark. 

I think I will be doing at least one more of these. There's something so much fun about painting figures.
