Art Opening, Got Published, and NEW paintings!

If you already haven't received my emails, event postings on Facebook, Tweets, and heard me screaming from the top of a mountain about my upcoming show... then here is my final attempt to put my work in front of your nose! SO many new paintings to be had, I just can't wait for the opening!

Especially because this time, I am showing with a very good friend of mine, Lisa Lamoreaux! Did you know we met on TWITTER? She tweeted, I responded, and we have been friends ever since! And to think, that if we didn't have Social Networking??? We would have never crossed paths! Whew, glad we did. Check out her work. Matter of fact, just check out our show online or in person at the Cole Gallery!

Waiting for My Creative Muse...

So. This is what I have to do sometimes... just lay and wait for something to happen. It is often I show up to the "easel" and... begin to panic... over-think... worry... over-plan... try to control EVERYTHING about my painting or a show I am painting for. Well today I learned (from my fantastic friend and painter Lisa Lamoreaux) that you can't micromanage your creative muse. If you do, she doesn't show. You can't control her. And I have no business even trying. My job is to paint. That's it! Just show up, it's that easy.

So today, after spending a great deal of time worrying about what colors to use, what if I forgot how to paint, is this piece too big for the show, what will I paint next, blah blah blah... After spending as much time as I could in swimming in self sabotage, I finally shut down my over active inner critic and... guess what? - my muse showed up!

The following resulted after spending 5 hours of time NOT thinking at all:

Untitled Diptych

Oil on two wood panels

36x72"

The start to my new year has been wonderful! (except for the part where I got Pneumonia) I have moved into a new studio in Renton, WA with a wonderful friend and inspiring artist, Lisa Lamoreaux. This new space has a lot more walls that will allow for me paint bigger and work on several things at once. Additionally, my new studio mate and I are business buddies and accountability partners! It has been so amazing spending time with Lisa on a regular basis to share ideas, plan our year, and simply check in with each other on our goals etc... I think after spending the last three years painting at home really makes me realize now how important it is to be surrounded by other artists. It is super motivating. Especially because we share a lot of the same drive and passion for what we do... I look forward to new adventures this year indeed!

I have a full schedule again this year with 2 shows coming up this March and April at the Cole Gallery and Lucia Douglas Gallery. AND I am happy to announce that I will be featured in American Art Collector Magazine this coming April!!! Lots of new things on the horizon I will be sharing more later!

Please join Jennifer Phillips Art on FACEBOOK for more up to date daily posts and in progress work photos!

On the Road Again... Utah here I Come!

On the road to my next show in Park City Utah this weekend. I'm pooped so I won't be writing too much right now, so here's the cliff notes:

I'm honored to be showing at the Kimball Arts Festival in Utah August 6th - 8th. Booth 31 - come bring me a Redbull.

Next week I will be August's First Glance Artist at the Cole Gallery in Edmonds, Wa. Reception is August 14th from 6-8:30pm. The gallery wrote a fantastic press release about me and you can read it HERE. You can also view the show online HERE. (note that "Refresh" has SOLD yay!).

Wish I could tell you more about my adventures so far this summer, but I am finding that I need more sleep lately. Big driving day ahead tomorrow so I am opting for some shut eye!

Reflections

"Reflections"

48 x 24

Oil on Panel

If you have been following my work on Facebook for the past week or so, you have had the pleasure of witnessing my process of pulling a couple all nighters to get this painting completed. Lately I had found my use of daylight very unproductive. Life has been throwing me gigantic challenges, of which I am not ready to share about just yet. But through it all, I had to push myself to accomplish this painting. It took me to a place that I have never been before. It was very therapeutic. I worked for hours. And a few of those days were huge blocks of time all at once. Yesterday was a 12 hour painting day for me... I finished it at 5:30 in the morning.

This painting will always be very special to me; as I spent several days reflecting upon wonderful memories as I painted it.

Bird Poop and Paintings Don't Mix

Water's Edge 2 (large version)

72" x 36"

Oil on Two Panels

SOLD

Ok. So this is not a case of narcissism here... I finished this piece and wanted to take a picture of myself in order to show scale... NOT to show how stunningly beautiful I am in my painting clothes, with no shower, and a hole in my shoe. (gag)

You can view this painting at my first show June 4th in Spokane, WA at Artfest all weekend... and if it doesn't find a home there, it will come on the road this summer with me until it does! Check out my line up to see if I will be showing at a neighborhood near you! Click here.

This will be my first outdoor fair ever and I couldn't be more nervous. New tent, dealing with possible weather, new jewelry display, wildlife... Yeah. I said WILDLIFE people. This just in: my artist friend Sheila Evans reported yesterday from her first show this year in Illinois, that she showed up to her booth in the a.m. to find that two morning doves had be fluttering about in her tent all night! Two words : POOP EVERYWHERE. Luckily her pastels were all framed under glass - what a clean up job! She retained her sense of humor about the whole thing and posted a picture to her facebook fan page showing bird poop running down one of her pieces that was ironically titled "Robin's Nest 2". Her poopy photo was lovingly captioned, "Everyone's a Critic". - hilarious!

For more fun Jen stuff follow me on Facebook please... no strings attached. Just giggles. Those don't have strings. That would be weird.

Water's Edge... a wee bit larger.

"Water's Edge II"

Oil on (2) panels

finished piece coming soon!

To be brief, I have been painting. My summer shows begin in 3 weeks and I have a zillion things to accomplish before then. So as much as I would like to keep posting, I have to put my blog on the back burner for a little while and maximize my time as much as possible in order to play some catch up. Please find me on Facebook to see my quick random thoughts and photos as my deadlines approach... paintings in progress, random thoughts throughout the day in the studio, and probably some pictures of me loosing my mind as I plow through the next few weeks!

I will be taking my "show on the road" for the first time this year, for an artfair called "Artfest" in Spokane, WA, starting June 4th-6th.

One checked off the list!

Half way through...

The final

"Exploring the Water's Edge"

16x32

Oil on Panel

SOLD

Finished this one yesterday... it is actually done on two 16x16 panels to form one piece. Wishing I could share a better photo of the final with you, but there is soooo much glare from the fantastic sun that I can only take a picture of it from the side. The colors are way more vibrant than shown here, so poo poo on my camera not being able to read my mind and capture it.

It will be on display starting May 8th at my opening at Venue in Ballard, Washington. More information on my upcoming show can be found HERE.

Simply, So Simple

"Simplified"

5x5

Oil on Panel

I am really enjoying my exploration of this subject matter. The more of them I do, the more I let go and let experimentation come into play. While I let umber dominate the undertone, it is the subtle hints of cool blue in the trees that I love.

These forest images are purely from my imagination and inspired from memories of a place I spent a lot of time when I was a child... I let the paint blend together with glazing medium watching the colors often mix themselves right there on the wood's surface. While painting these little memories, it sort of reminds me of the way I mingled through the trees often getting lost in my imagination until dinner time...

"A Shady Day"

"A Shady Day"

5x5

Oil on Wood Panel

I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to do enough of these little forest images. I love to carve out the negative spaces between the branches... and like icing on a cake, adding the final wisps of delicate branch at the tippy tops of each naked tree. Almost reaching for something like open arms...

Inspired by Tree Charm... Wah?

"Muse"

5x5

Oil on Panel

Been sick... for 5 days or so, bed ridden. NO FUN. As soon as I woke up today feeling like I could walk around again I made a mad dash for my studio...

27 Tree Charms and one "Muse" later and here I am... all painted out for the evening~ Interestingly enough, this little image on the charm I painted today inspired the little 5x5 behind it!

Ok. That's all the words I'm typin'. I promised more paintings and less talk... so I'm zippin' it!

More Paintings Less Talk

"Eighty percent of success is just showing up." - Woody Allen

"Forest Series" Study

6x6 Dyptich

Thanks to my bloggie friend Dawn at Queen B Studio, after "poking" me politely asking... "Uh, Jen where are you? What's going on with your goals n stuff?"... I realized I had been gone longer from my blog than I wanted to.

What have I been up to? WelllllP. Not painting anything monumental that's for sure. You see, this year I kind of have been working in reverse... not sure that it actually is a good thing though, so kids don't try this at home! But it seems to be getting me to a good place as I will explain in a moment.

So if you have followed my last couple posts, you know I wrote out this lofty list of things that I wanted to accomplish this year. Well I have been "workin" that list to death for the past 2 months or so and PERSISTENCE is paying off.

Number 14 on my list: Enter 25 juried art fairs/shows this year... check! Done and done.

I've also crossed off a few other things too, like becoming a member of the Northwest Art Alliance, Exploring gallery representation, rewriting my bio, and I am now booked for 4 out of five that art fairs I have heard back from the juries on, so that is really exciting! That's a whole 4 more than I did last year so that's great! The more opportunity I have to be in front of the public eye, the more chance I will have to get my work in their hands! Which is the most rewarding part for me.

Being proactive, assertive, and persistent has really opened a lot of doors for me in a short time. It is quite the opposite of my old "self"... afraid, not confident, in the back ground. So I am kinda proud of myself.

All this emphasis on selling myself recently came into focus for me, after reading an article in Art Calendar Magazine (April issue)... Go out an get it just for this article. It's interesting. Page 8, "The Gift of Persistence" by Matthew Daub. GO! Get it! READ IT for crying out loud!

Before I explain the article, let me explain an interaction I had with an artist friend of mine the other day... we'll call him... BOB. (get ready for a rant in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...)

Yeah, so Bob is a fantastic artist. He has a full time job. He has an apartment full of fresh paintings. Just. Sitting. There. Waiting to be discovered. He wants to show his work, he would love to do art full time someday, and he has a bit of the "wohs me" complex.

One day I gave him a lead for a small gallery/boutique looking for submissions. Long story short, I caught up with him one day and asked if anything became of it and here was his response, "Yeah, thanks for the lead, I emailed her and yeah, guess what? (smirk with an I told you so face) She never responded!"

My jaw dropped to the floor. THAT's IT! That's all you got? You send one email and don't get a response so, THAT's, IT...? What if she never got it? What if she was too busy? What if she liked your work, but wasn't ready to discuss opportunity?! You will never know if you are not persistent! And even if you never get through, you go knock on another door instead! And then another!

Which brings me to my point. I am a firm believer that successful artists have unstoppable drive. How badly to you want this? Really! HOW bad do you want to be successful at what you do? You shouldn't just sit idly by with a house full of wonderful art and wait for someone to discover you... go out and get 'em!

And on the other hand, he has something wonderful working for him... he persistently paints. "He shows up." So one day it WILL all pay off. It just works that way. It just may be later than sooner... and ultimately, I just wish to share my perspective with you all, so that you don't let opportunity go by. Don't wait for things to be perfect. Sometimes you have to just jump in.

To quote the article, "This sort of persistence is the artist's best friend. In the long run, it will never fail. Something good always comes of it. In the art world, where the prize often goes to the last person standing, persistence trumps talent every time."

If you have a moment, jump over to Deborah T. Colter's blog. After I read her recent post called, "Let go and Trust", I was inspired... and I realized that I really need to paint. BAD. So I am vowing that my next few blog posts will mostly be PAINTINGS, and less talk.

Rant is over. Hope you don't hate me.

Side note: The little painting above is the prelim to a gigantic 6 foot diptych I will be tackling for my next piece. Nubmer 8 on the list: Explore a series with "twigs and branches" imagery.

Please follow me on Facebook - just become a FAN already will yah?

Ok, So I'm Only Human Right?

This is me.

If the photo could talk it would be saying something to the effect of... " Oh high-eeeee! I toe-tally suck!" Or, "Ha Ha Heeeee, yeah I reeeeeally screwed up... he he heee..." OR ..., "Someone please remind me of why I became an artist in the first place??? please???"

Sigh. Pouty lip. Sulk.

Ok. That's enough of that (tear, blink, blink). Moving onward...

So YEAH, today I had a hiccup in my lil' plan of success I so graciously ranted about the other day. I strayed from my list of things to do today (damn Facebook/Twitteritis!); SO far from it that it caused me (or, rather, I caused myself<>) to forget to enter one of the shows on my list of deadlines! Or more specifically, I ASSUMED that this particular show was a show I could enter online digitally... WELP. It wasn't. The deadline for snail mail was today - which I realized 2 hours ago, when I finally decided to plant it in front of the computer to start the application process. Grrrrrrrrr...

So it is a bad thing, but as a result, a learning experience was born! Now, after I write about my problems in this here blog post (thanks for listening btw... it a good for my healing process)... I will open my excel program and map out all the shows I want to enter in a spreadsheet with all the dates, the type of entry process, fees, etc etc... So it is all in one spot for me to see and keep me more organized! I thought just writing down the deadlines would be good enough, but my procrastinator brain takes over now and then and VIOLA~ a mishap occurs!

So that's my slap on my wrist tonight... I punish thee with spreadsheets! Yuck~

And what's the moral to the story kids?... I'm only human... and I make mistakes... that I learn from... and only allow 2 minutes of self pity before I turn that frown up-side-down!

Wanted to share this last thought tonight... I had a successful show at the beginning of February and one of the many compliments I was given was on the presentation of my work (thank you). I invented a new way of displaying my prices at this show, completely eliminating the need for typing all my labels out on the computer (which I HATE).

I bought jewelry tags, wrote the info on them and stuck them to the wall with a decorative BUTTON! Yup! CUTE as a button! It worked out great, and now you can steal my idea. There. A gift from me to you... don't say I never gave you anything.

(gosh I hope you all know I am kidding... and sarcastic... and a total insensitive jerk...<>)

I'm Branching Out!

Okay, Okay, it is true... I am obsessed! Lately I have been exploring my inner desire to create wearable art and I must say that I am loving it! It all started when I began painting my little tiny oil paintings on Scrabble tile game pieces... I would go to the local market on Sunday rummaging through bins to find the one letter I was missing. THEN I saw other bins, full of antique trinkets and more... letter press keys, watch faces, dominos, typewriter keys, doll parts, more more more!

Now I have my own bins. Bins of old vintage goodies just waiting to become something new! Reused, upcycled, and reborn! So I created my own line of jewelry and called it "reJENeration design"! Get it? Re - JEN - eration? That's me. I'm Jen. Yup. And very excited to announce that several of my new jewelries are now posted on my NEW store online! So please take a look when you get the chance... so many things that make unique gifts and keep-sakes you will love!

So just that you aren't confused I now have two stores. One for my art/paintings and little trees: www.jenniferphillipsart.com

And one for my jewelry too: www.reJENerationdesigns.com

I realize you may have signed up for this blog anticipating everything related to my painting, so I probably won't post very much about my jewelry here (or I will try not to)... so when I post something new to my jewelry line it will show up in the widget I created to the right instead!

So in celebration of the "selfish plug" I now give you a few morsels of new paintings and jewelry pieces freshly posted to my stores... Thanks for looking!

I WON! (in many ways...)

Welp, I have been away for a little while from this blogging world, to Vegas and back, to build fences, and catch up on life's adventures... and a few things have happened that I peg as pretty eventful in my life... so here I share...

Viewer's Choice Award for Infinity Gallery Online Competition

Refresh

32"x24" Oil on Panel (Diptych)

Original Available $2,070

Giclee Limited Edition Prints Available in several sizes: click here!

Thank you thank you thank you!... to everyone who voted! I am excited to finally announce that I won viewer's choice award, with 104 total votes! You guys are awesome~ What does that mean for me? For one, I get even more exposure online as I will get my painting posted on the page with all the winners for the next few months... the more exposure the better as you never know who you are going to meet and where! And for two, I get to feel this awesome feeling of "Wow, they like me! They really really like me!" and use that energy as inspiration for upcoming new oil paintings that are brewing in my little artsy head of mine! Thanks so much everybody for your support!

Another way I have won this past month is that I have been given the opportunity to give back! And I am a total giver, so it works out as a win win for everyone~ this weekend I will be participating in Strides Against Breast Cancer as a fund raising event in the Everett area. I will be selling my tree charms there that day and donating a portion of the proceeds to this charity!

I will be bringing a whole new line of Scrabble Tile Charms to the event that you may be interested in: some with creepy doll faces and beetles and stuff! Pretty cool! Here is my team website page if you want to get involved OR just show up to look at some awesome stuff!

Discovering Myself Along the Way

60"x48"

SOLD

Lastly, but not leastly, MY GIGANTISAURUS PAINTING HAS SOLD! This has been added to my list of one of the most gratifying experiences I have had to date as an artist! Not only did I enjoy the process of painting this bugger, but the feeling I got once I delivered to the new owners was priceless! It was theeeee most perfect fit in their beautiful home~ so perfect, it was as if I had painted it just for this space! It now resides in a room that is freshly renovated with wonderful warm tone wood floors and gorgeous stone countertops and fireplace! The painting sits front and center no fresh white walls, with lighting that just makes it glow! It's amazing. I can't wait to do another big one for sure! It was also fun to explore the limits of my Jeep Wrangler and how big of a painting it can actually haul!

So over the next couple days I will be finishing up over 100 Scrabble Charms to bring to the show this weekend, while I get over a nasty cold sinus boogery thing I got in Vegas last weekend... Nice. Talk to you all soon!

Bellevue Artfair Adventure

"Discovering Myself Along the Way"

60"x48" Oil on Canvas

SOLD

I promised, so here it is for all you internet fans that couldn't get down to see the piece in person! The final picture is now posted of my largest work yet... it made it back down the stairs of my studio safely with out scraping any paint off - guess it pays to have someone help you, no touch ups were necessary! (see previous post on "How to Fit a Big Object into a Small Hole").

I rented a cargo van to get my work to and from the show, so this painting was loaded last, and nestled neatly on top of the rest of my work. It made it to the show with out a hitch... ok, maybe one hitch. Yeah, kinda an important hitch... I forgot to put wire on the back of it! DUH. Didn't realize this until I got to the fair of course, so I had to scramble to put it together before the crowds came early that morning! Made me sweat a little... literally.

Oh and another funny thing... (speaking of sweat)... the second day, I realized that I had run out of sales slips just before the show started! So, in a massive rush, I ran to Bartell's across the street to get some more.

And boy, did I run! It was already in the 80's. So running and panicking, was not a good combo for maintaining my sweet girlish aroma for the rest of the day.

And on top of that, god forbid, I JAYWALKED... or rather, JAYRAN! And a lovely police officer was layin' on his whistle at me screaming, "Lady! Lady!".... I just kept runnin', didn't look back even once! Ran into Bartell and ducked behind some display full of pork-n-beans, pretending I was reeeealy interested in them. I felt like such a rebel, considering that I never get in trouble with the law EVER!

After making my purchase, I then had to find a sneaky route back to the fair in order to avoid crossing the street anywhere near the whistle blowing police officer for fear of a ticket, or embarrassment of any sort. So, I continued jogging back to my booth the long way around the back entrance of the fair. Needless to say, I was a ball of sweat that couldn't catch her breath once I got back! Then came the realization that I forgot to put on deodorant that morning... peeeerfect.

Luckily my ever supportive brother delivered it to me later that day and I was saved!

Overall, the three day event at the Bellevue Art Museum Artsfair, was a total success! I met soooo many wonderful people! So many that my face hurt after each day ended because I was smiling so much! I sold many many paintings and made enough contacts to draw the conclusion that there will be a few new commissions in my future! AND on top of that I got to meet some of the artists at the show that stopped by my booth... Marla & Mike Baggetta, Taman Vanscoy, William Vanscoy, Lisa Lamoreaux, Rick Abrams, Erik Hall, and many more! I can't wait to do it again next year!

Just a Taste

I am excited to announce that I have officially finished my gigantasourus painting! Yahoo!!! Am I gonna show you it? Nooo way! Or not yet at least. Above is just a taste of the finished piece. And my favorite friend Dozer decided to plant it in front of my easel before snapping the shot!

For those that are local here in Seattle, I would love for you to swing by my show this weekend for the big reveal of my large oil painting and several other new goodies I will have on display! Oh! I also have fantastic LARGER prints this year all duded up in fancy 8 ply mat board for a sleek modern look! And don't forget those little Tree Charms! They are going to go fast!

Come on down to the Bellevue Art Museum Artsfair! It's three whole days of fantastic art, artists, food, and people watching! Here's the info:

Bellevue Art Museum Artsfair

July 24th -26th

Friday/Saturday from 9:30 am - 9:30 pm

Sunday from 9:30 am - 6 pm

My booth number is N-8 (not the same as last year!)

Don't worry if you can't make it, I will post images of the final piece above after the show and more pictures OF the show next week! Wish me luck!

Oooh, if you are not following me on Twitter, you are missing out! I met Lisa Lamoreaux there and I encourage you to check out her work too! She also will be at the show in booth I-16.

Workin' Big, Makin' Progress...

"Discovering Myself Along the Way"

4' x 5'

Well, it's my largest canvas yet... I am further along than what is represented in this photo right now, I'd say it's about 3/4's full of paint at the moment. One thing is for sure, it is no where near the vision I had in my head of what I originally wanted to paint! BUT, that is ok. Because I really committed to not worrying about the final product and just allow myself to "play". I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't plan it all out.

I am pretty pleased with it so far. The color is all crazy right now, but as soon as I can get the rest of it mapped in, I will tweak that anyway.

Right now I am just having fun...

Fun obsessing over all the negative/positive shapes getting sculpted with every brush stroke.

Fun trying to keep my right arm from falling asleep.

Fun using my new tube of Manganese Blue...

Fun discovering how much I enjoy taking the worrying out of painting!

Pullin' an All-Nighter!

Photo Title: "Zzzzzzzzz"

Mark my words... I WILL NEVER PROCRASTINATE AGAIN. 

It is 12:30 AM, and I am still awake thanks to Mountain Dew and a need to finish what I started! Been cutting a BAZILLION mats for all my new prints that I will have at the show tomorrow and I still have labels to make and a bunch of final details to attend to. 

All said, I am very excited for tomorrow! Should be a fantastic show... I have some great new larger pieces accumulated and many many NEW BABY TREE pendants for my new jewelry line - just in time for Mother's Day this weekend!

Here is another sneak peek at a new painting that I have still to name tonight!

Hope to see some of you locals at the show tomorrow (Get the Greenwood Artwalk Info HERE)~ You'll especially want to come to see if I am actually awake at my own opening! 

I'll keep everyone posted as to how it goes... wish me luck!

Title: hummm? (could call it "Mountain Dewy Morning"? Or "Procrastinator's Favorite Painting Spot"? Or "Oh My God I am So Tired")

Size: I think it is 34"x24", I am too tired to measure.

Medium: Now, this one I know... OIL on Panel

Price: Find out tomorrow at the show cuz I can't do the math at this hour.
