“Reflected Artist” /6×6 in / oil on linen panel / See Available Still Life Paintings

I wanted to try painting reflections of things you can’t see in the picture… Can you find the window, the 3rd apple, and me?

Portrait artist paints a mom and baby in “Reaching”

SOLD. “Reaching” 6×6 inch oil painting on linen

This is my second try at this scene, and I think it came together really nicely. I used a couple different photos of this mom and child for reference. I am enjoying really bright colors right now. I love the ocean colors in this painting; they are similar to the colors of the painting “Splash“. And “Orange” has similar vibrancy. Mom Loving Project #11 of 30.

P.S. There is still a Give-away going!

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!

This one was really fun. This dad and son look so happy together.Mom Loving Project #9 of 30.

This was my first painting on some fancy linen panels, and it was really nice to work on.
