Three new paintings

Here are three paintings I finished last week. The branch and the hibiscus are 10 x 8 and the roses are 4 x 8. All are available for purchase. Enjoy! Spring is coming

Port Aransas Workshop at the Art Center

For two consecutive Saturdays I taught a workshop in Port Aransas. Here are a few pictures of my wonderful students who worked very hard. Very talented!

Happy Valentine's Day

I have also been working on larger paintings. Here is one that I have completed. More to come.

Today I spent the day in the studio painting both a commission and shelves! We are building storage furniture which will help the studio be more functional. When it is finished I will share pictures with everyone. In the meantime, the commission is moving along and is the more important painting I did!

I decided to do a larger architectural landscape. "A Step Back in Time" is 16 x 16 and was painted from photographs of the Garden District in New Orleans that I took this fall. Walking the streets there is amazing, like going back in time to another era, a life of ease and slower pace.

New in 2012

Happy New Year!

Thank you all for following my blog. Sharing my artwork with everyone is very special to me. Much more exciting work and events will follow this new year.

Two months ago I opened a cooperative studio with another artist, Janet Dineen. We are both working in the studio now and it is wonderful.

In February I will be teaching a workshop at the Art Center for the Islands in Port Aransas. More information about this will follow.

I also created an online shop at www.etsy.com. Just search for Jane Gillette and you will find my paintings listed there.

I hope you had a happy holiday season.
