"Gone Fishin' " - Original Oil Painting by Rebecca Jennings

After a hard day's work at the shop, some of the guys in my family would grab their poles and take off to a favorite fishing spot, hoping to catch a few trout.This one seems to be having trouble keeping a hook on his line....

My Favorite Things #3, An Original Oil painting by Rebecca Jennings

This spinning wheel was a gift to me from my husband just months before he died. I loved the smooth wood of the wheel and the paddle. The spinner would sit at the right side and work the paddle with their feet to make the wheel go at a smooth, steady speed. The wool would be fed carefully onto the wheel, go full circle and, at the practiced touch of the spinner's hands, come out the other side as yarn to be knitted into warm clothes or woven into blankets. 

This wheel is now in the possession of my eldest daughter who has become a fiber artist in her own right. This painting is a gift to her.

Sketching Exercise........

 "Sun-Bathing" 

8.5" x 11"

Strathmore fine-tooth paper

This sketch is from photos I took last winter while camping at Camp Huaco on River Road by the Guadalupe River in Texas. It was common to see several turtles out sunning themselves on the rocks or a log in the river. The trees impressed me with their unusual curled roots; half in water, half on land. Such a peaceful place! I am considering doing a painting from the actual photos I took.

Oil Pastel Practice #1- Untitled- Updated

Oil Pastel on canvas pad

An exercise in pastel painting

I regret that I did not have the colors needed to make this a worthwhile pursuit. I am so used to being able with oils to mix any color I want. Can you tell my heart was not really into this painting? The composition makes me feel claustrophobic somehow........However, this was a submission for the online classes I have been taking ( always pursuing to do better) and I did want to submit some homework. 

Because my bathroom was in the process of being remodeled/upgraded this week, I could not get to my oil painting space, so I decided to try my hand at the oil pastels on my dining room table. I do not think I will be pursuing this medium; however, to never have tried the oil pastels when they had been given to me, would have been the greater loss. Thanks for viewing..... 

I went back a week later and worked more on this. I redid the large tree on the right and with the few colors I have available, I was able to at least make it a little more to my liking. 

Of course much more practice is needed in this medium :)

My Favorite things #2 - Childhood Memories

A detailed image of this painting.....

Oh, the memories of iced-up windows, with beautiful frosted patterns and glittering ice crystals....... I can still remember the feel of it! We were most fortunate, back in the days of single-paned windows. When it was bitter cold outside yet toasty warm inside, it was said that Jack Frost would pay a visit during the night and leave behind his handy-work.......   Few in our times have the opportunity to experience such deliciousness!
