(#3370)Mom Loving Project #12 of 30.

——————————————–

MOM LOVING PROJECT: This is a little different from a commission, as people submitting photos are not necessarily purchasing the paintings. If you want to participate in this project, email me with your photo(s). And if you think (or know) you will want to purchase the painting, please put that information in the email.

I am really excited about my “Mom Loving” portrait project: a series of 30 small paintings (6×6 – 6×8 inches) of moms loving and bonding with (holding, nursing, sleeping with, snuggling, carrying, etc.) their babies and young children. The best paintings will be published as part of an art book in 2011. You can also, optionally, suggest a short statement (around 35 words and/or your name(s)) that you’d like to appear next to the painting when it’s published in the book and on my blog.

Moms / Dads / the person submitting the photo will have the first opportunity (but no obligation) to purchase their painting.

For this project I am looking for candid-looking photos, and especially ones that have good light (outdoors with light from the  side or side/back is best)  and are good enough quality to see some details, and which are taken far enough away that most or all of the mom and child are in the picture. With that said, I’ve received a couple fuzzy and very close up pictures that will work nicely.

These paintings will be in my impressionist / modern realist style. See: http://jessiesfineart.com

If you’d like to participate and submit photos for this project, email me. If you have several photos from the same time, send them all – that makes it easier to paint. Thanks!

Read more about the Mom Loving portrait project here. Email me to submit photos for this project.

As an aside, I have a  collection of art books that I read and reread. I’ve been rereading Kevin Macpherson’s Fill Your Oil Paintings with Light & Color book, again. He always gives me things to think about, and this week I’m going to focus on values.

I am excited to post the first “Mom Loving” portrait. This baby is looking into his mom’s eyes with such adoration.

We’re almost done moving my painting studio upstairs. Sunday and yesterday I had things set up enough to paint in there. Yeah! I worked on my big painting of scoter birds floating together – it’s getting close. I’ve got a bunch of brushes soaking in Murphy Oil soap (thanks Carol Marine!), and my computer desk is rearranged to be a great painting table. A clean start feels good.

“Crow Looking Forward” –  5 in x 7 in – oil on wood – Email for purchase info.I love crows. They’re so smart and expressive, and they have such a good sense of humor. This guy just flew down out of a tree, and hopped around checking out the park before flying off again.

SOLD. Geese

SOLD. This is the largest painting I’ve finished recently. Right now I’m working on a couple more paintings in this series. It’s fun working so large for a change. I can really see the value of doing more large paintings, and also of doing more small paintings. I think one educated the other…

(I’ve changed one thing since taking this picture – I’ll post a revised image later.)
