The painting above is from a photo I used in my Cleveland post from the Toledo Beach Marina.
Not long ago I saw a drawing of Paris that I liked. My version looks practically nothing like the drawing, which was very dark and I'm not sure I like this one. But it's something to continue work on. And the painting IS more loose than my usual, tighter and detailed style and I'm trying to work on that, so I'll just keep at it.
You saw a version of the above that I did as a pet sympathy card. Here's a 5x7 version. A few more flowers, better work of the background.
Here's a fellow you should recognize! My second Harry painting. The water actually was quite blue in the photo but I think it looks a little more magical here.
And I leave you with The Little Nipper! That's my girl!
Sharing with: Best of the Weekend
Wow...what wonderful work you do! I am so impressed with all you bloggers who have so much talent in painting. What a lucky girl you are to have such a gift.
ReplyDeleteJeanie, Maybe you are just more relaxed at the lake. I like the idea of you painting while you enjoy the quieter lifestyle. Pretty colors. Love your Harry painting. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings. The Paris one is my fave, it's so Paris! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I love all of them. You are so talented and creative. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello, Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteAll your painting are lovely, it is hard to pick a favorite. I do love the heron and your kitty. Paris is beautiful too. Well done, you are talented.
Happy weekend to you!
I like the white cat on the dark blue background.
ReplyDeleteLovely Jeanie. I like them all but especially like the second. It activates my wanderlust.
ReplyDeleteThe Little Nipper is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteYou sure handle watercolors well! I always found them frustrating. Love your cats and Harry, especially.
ReplyDeleteYou've got talent, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe Paris picture is definitely one to be remembered.
You sure have mastered watercolors. I especially love your cats and how the cottage always inspires your creativity.
ReplyDeleteI love your Paris painting... Paris is my favorite city in the whole wide world and I have been there twice so I especially enjoyed your rendition of it.
ReplyDeleteJeanie I love all your paintings. The first one with the sale boat is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented and I like your style.
Great paintings! I really love Little Nipper! Janice
ReplyDeleteThey're looking beautiful Jeanie. You have been quite productive at the lake also. If you are there I hope your weather is better than mine. Grey and damp today. ugh. But I guess needed. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous, Jeanie, but my favorite is Paris and my next favorite is Lizzie. Great paintings all.
ReplyDeleteI think you were born in the wrong place, Jeanie, perhaps even at the wrong time in history. You would have been quite at home in Paris around the 1890s, brush in hand, painting Paris life, maybe even smoking a Gitane, cursing with the best of them, hanging around with Toulouse-Lautrec and La Goulue. Now, if only you could blog about that!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your paintings. They look gorgeous. The last one is my favourite, of course.
ReplyDelete❤️
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice view of Harry. You've gotten better at capturing his movement!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a delight to see your paintings.
ReplyDeleteLove your painting of Henry. You're getting much better at portraying his flight! (I don't know why my previous comment didn't appear, so I'm trying again!)
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty Jeanie, but I'm a cat lady, so the white cat and Lizzie are my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday.
I LOVE your Paris painting to bits!!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I love them all and the Paris scene is so light and airy but you sure know what you are looking at. Harry and the Little Nipper are always a delight..Happy Weekend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteI love these paintings. They are filled with serenity. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful paintings. I was going to ask if you made them into cards :)
ReplyDeleteLove the sailboat painting!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of your paintings! What a lovely painting of the white cat and of Lizzie!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful paintings :)
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend has been good, have a great new week ahead.
All the best Jan
Your painting of the Little Nipper is my favorite.
ReplyDeletePhyllis
I love seeing your paintings,Jeanie. You are very, very talented. Personally, I love the Paris painting-even if 'being looser' is a bit challenging.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a bright, blessed Sunday night- xo Diana
Jeanie, I love your paintings. You have a wonderful talent that must feel more relaxed when you are at the lake. The street in Paris is wonderful! And the painting of Toledo marina is my favorite! Happy painting, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWow - your paintings are gorgeous! Do you ever sell your work?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, all of them! You´re really talented! :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, now I´m a tad sad I did not take the picture of the Harry I saw Saturday at river Oker (he was too quick).
Yay, painting time! Lovely Jeanie, I like your Paris street scene and the cats especially! Are you having an art sale in November? Your paintings are happy and fun!
ReplyDeleteJenna
So lovely.. I especially love the pet sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you share your paintings! I'm glad you are able to carve out time to paint at the lake! The Paris street scene is pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love all of your work! I especially like the painting of Little Nipper and the cat you did as a sympathy card. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love them all. With each one I said "Oh, that's my favorite". I think the Paris street is my favorite, but all are quite wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing your art work each time, Jeanie. I like all of these paintings, but I think my favorite is THE CAT. It's just so pretty. And it spoke to me right away. : )

Your watercolors are just gorgeous, Jeanie! I love the cards I bought last year and reluctantly gave two away with notes, of course. I kept my macaroons card to bring out every once in a while... :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting to paint this summer... I just found my travel watercolor kit and small cards.
Hugs,
Barb :)
LOVE your art-filled posts, Jeanie! And especially loving the nautical-theme watercolor painting at the top! That sympathy pet card is FABULOUS...very striking, and what a lovely tribute to a fur-friend. And how sweet is Miss Lizzie--you captured her really well there! :) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteJeanie!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing your lovely artwork, you know I love your watercolors.
Life is looking wonderful, happy and very pretty!
Happy Belated Birthday,
jemma
I love your Paris painting, Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but especially the Paris one!
ReplyDeleteHello Jeanie, your paintings are lovely. I’ve been trying to do more painting but the dollshouse keeps taking priority! I’ve also been trying to do loose but my two attempts so far ended up in the bin!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I was thinking of you this morning when I popped my latest little watercolor into a totally unrelated post! :D Was wondering if you'd be posting some paintings, and here you are! They are so beautiful! Love how you did the white cat and The Little Nipper.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the sailboat painting and of course, the Paris one! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your artwork, Jeanie, I enjoyed seeing them all especially the one from Paris and the first one of the sailboat.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful:) The Little Nipper is my fav - you've captured her soul:)
ReplyDeleteI can sense the joy of your gypsy caravan all the way from here.
How I love your heart:)
