Hi, I'm artist Jen Beaudet Zondervan, from Southern California, USA. I started this blog in 2009 as a way to share my art journey and meet other creative souls. It became my therapy. I use oil paints with a palette knife and bold brush marks. My work is both, passionate and sensitive; inspired by nature's beauty. I first called this blog My Life As a Starving Artist. I have another website JBeaudetStudios.com

Pearls with Cherries
Pearls with Cherries
6x8
oil on canvas board
This painting just has a really romantic quality
about it. It's probably the pearls.
My weekend is going great. I got some paintings done,
packed some to ship on Monday, then went to Chinese food for dinner with my daughter and her best friend. They're so silly and fun to be around.
I'm really going to miss that when she's gone. I hope everyone
is having a wonderful weekend!
Jennifer:)

Sold
This painting has just about everything I love... flowers, shells, lemons,the color peach...doesn't get any better than that. It's a small one but I'm planning
to do a much larger one with a similar feel.
So far daily painting
is really working for me and is giving the extra push I need to get things done!

The Decorating Diva
I had a nice surprise this afternoon. I got a google alert. It's usually either from my post I made the day before or some French website talking about some different Beaudet like Jacques Beaudet. But this time when I clicked to see if maybe it was someone talking about my paintings it was! It really was! The Decorating Diva used my painting Sa Robe Noir on their website! This is the second one of my paintings that has been used by them. I would like to say a big thank you to The Decorating Diva whoever you are. It means so much to me that you have chosen my art two times for your website!

Beautiful Bedrooms
I think this painting, now available as a print,
would look stunning
would look stunning
in a bedroom
like this.
like this.
I found this image
on flickr and just fell in love with the simplicity of it.
I love the soft colors in
combination with the dark wood.
I like the way 'The Lady in White'
fits in this decor. (I changed this one)
The soft
french blue wallpaper has
a very rich, luxurious
feel.
The painting has that same feel
with her fancy dress and beautiful updo. And its small size
