    Description

    Notice the tapestry effect in the nest. It is a subtle point of interest that enhances the subjects. I decided to go with lighter areas of paint than is my usual practice. I still maintain my bold painting style in the darker areas of the painting. This created a centering effect on the main subject, the babies. My painting process was fun and imaginative, a break from realism.

    I am very careful with the grade of paper I use so that I can maintain the surface while I play with subtle color washes. I build the color up preciously keeping my paper canvas showing through so that I don't have to use any white. I am a purist and love the transparency of layering watercolors. I use opaque colors minimally.

    We have an Audubon Park near me in Irvine, not far from the beach. It has freshwater swampy areas for all the water fowl. Especially lovely are the Egrets that feed and nest there. Admittedly we don't have moss hanging from the trees here in California like they do in the South. I had to imagine the swampy moss effect and check on various photo's online for reference. I never copy images, I re-imagine them in my mind while I paint. This is one part of my creative process that is highly regarded by my mentors and clients.

    I had a name contest, in my monthly newsletter, for this painting and a local antique store owner came up with the winner.

    I used high quality, cold pressed, watercolor paper that is so much fun to blend colors on and adds texture. I used thick paint making the watercolor consistency inky.

    I tear the paper if it does not already have a deckle edge. I frame it on top of the mat-board, called float mounting, to show off the papery effect. It "pops" the colors and is lovely on black matboard. I leave you to frame it.

    Concept

    Jeanette Jensen B.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) also known on social media as Jeanette Designs is a cross between a representational and impressionist artist in the United States. At a recent gallery show, where Jeanette received both a First and Second Place Ribbon, her mentor, a traditionally trained Russian artist and college professor commented, "Jeanette is a really good artist!"

    Jeanette creates cozy, joyful experiences in several mediums. Her theme is to inspire and nurture enthusiasm for life. Her watercolors capture bright portrayals of nature. The bold colors she uses are her signature style.

    The artist works from her home studio as an artist and author of novels, Professor Golden Mysteries. She is a member of several prestigious art leagues. Jeanette layers her paint whether it is the delicate watercolor or hearty, luscious oils.

    As an eight-grade student Jeanette's mother sponsored her art lessons with a professional oil painter. She continued her art education in college and there became a proficient water-colorist. She received her first acclaim from an international watercolor jurist who remarked, "Outstanding color and gem like quality, a real treasure," when she perused Jeanette's work. Another art teacher of 30 years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania remarked, "These are beautiful works of art, subject, design and the colors are stunning," when looking at her art on Instagram.

    Jewish Voice Ministry International has a large painting of Jeanette's hanging as the centerpiece in their lobby. They also make greeting cards from her painting.
