You are very good. I cannot paint people. That isn't my talent. I do paint but it is abstract feelings, moods, seeing it through a different visual concept. I just love it because I like to see people's reactions to my feelings. It is almost like a cleansing of my soul at times of the world we live in. I sold 2 to my friends in Florida when I lived there. I have not painted since I moved to the North. I get my art supplies from Dick Blick studios'. I need to get back into it though. I am restoring a 1905 Victorian home right now and it has kept me and my family very busy these last 3 years. It never ends...Jaylena
An Art Fair Coming Up, Jaylena
2 years ago
|
Hot!
I do my work to escape and for the enjoyment. There's an art fair coming up this Spring in Minneapolis, Minnesota and I'm going to try and sell most of my paintings. There's some paintings I won't sell, like the painting of my mother when she was a little girl. I got a little money in the Navy for drawing sketches of my shipmates girlfriends or wives but I've never really sold any paintings, yet.

This is my painting of a helicopter. I liked the photo of the helicopter that I used as the model so much that I added the caption, "I Think I'm In Love!" to the painting. I repainted the sky (over the rotor blades and then lost the photo so I had to leave the rotor blades out of the painting.

Great work! 
I really love the autumn painting-- it really captures the beauty of a tree in fall colors. And the lamp painting is very evocative and atmospheric.

My model for this painting was a girl I had a crush on, Cathy Gleason. I did this painting at a place called "The Rose Gardens" near Lake Harriet here in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the spring. Cathy wouldn't sit for me long enough to make it look like her. I added the flower in her hair and the big gold box in the background later.

I think you're talking about "Piece of My Heart". I was divorced and Janis Joplin sang "...take a little piece of my heart" and that's what inspired this painting. That's a little piece of my heart.

The Lamp

Hot!
We don't own the lamp that was in the center of that painting but I think it's at my sister's house in the basement somewhere. My mother and I only lived in that apartment for a short while, while my mother looked for a house for us to live in. I remember taking my clothes to the laundrymat very early in the morning to do our laundry while we were living in that apartment. It was actually the top floor of a duplex.
