About Jennifer's Paintings
Jennifer's painting draws your attention to the many wonders in the world around us. We all have such a frantic pace today it is a joy to be able to ‘bide a while’ and examine the intricacies of the plant kingdom. There is so much around us we take for granted; we step on or walk past such strength and beauty and great fragility too.
Each painting represents the artist's 'voyage of discovery' as she gets to know each plant better than before. Jennifer sees that much of plant life is a metaphor for our own lives. She loves to be able to draw attention to the light fall on a petal or a leaf and the richness of the shadows that produces. She also enjoys the portrayal of dark shadows which create the ‘light’ in a painting. To Jennifer, this is the element that makes a painting 'sing'. It also speaks to her of the darks in life that help us to appreciate the joys that come our way. |
