Just a Plan- 2 versions.

[JennieJo]

Life has been very busy lately. Have been doing lots of works on paper, photos haven't been working out. This one is an OK representation of my blocked plan for small acrylic.

We're heading home tomorrow for a family gathering; sudden decision. One side of Australia to the other. This is a meeting of the clan. My husband's siblings get together is a large affair: My 2 kids have 45 cousins, of which 6 are from my side!

Managed to get 5 of Robert's siblings visible, 2

hidden. If you know the family you could identify them. Think I'll need to change the name before I show them. They are all lovely people. With strong personalities.

I really love this. It has so much charm and interest. Really cool!!!!

Charming.

I'm always in awe of your work - there is just something so compelling about it. Your work always speaks to me, but I can't put my finger on why I'm so drawn to your work. To me it's a fabulous, mysterious journey that always has me examining and pondering why

Wonderful! I get the feeling that there's so much more personality depicted in these figures than if you had them all pose for a photo. You caught them when they weren't looking.

I love it, is that one girl about to scalp another girl?

 

[Hausamann]

I love it, is that one girl about to scalp another girl?

That was my first impression too.

 

[Terri]

Terrific, as always, Jennie! I love your style.

That's wonderful, I love it! Looks like a family gathering for sure--scalping and all!

If this is just the blocked plan, it is going to make a great little painting. Bright and cheerful (even with people getting scalped. )

I love it, is that one girl about to scalp another girl?

I sure hope so!

 

[JennieJo]

I really love this. It has so much charm and interest. Really cool!!!!

Thanks. I've gone from tossing it out all the way to Look at a Little Longer. I'm warming to it.

 

[JennieJo]

I sure hope so!

That has been suggested, and when I attached family members to them ... it could well be a subconscious statement

So maybe I might not paint over that after all

 

[JennieJo]

Terrific, as always, Jennie! I love your style.

Thanks Terri. Just had a video conference with a curator, feeling a bit more confident than I have been. And a text about an exhibition in a tiny local gallery. It is good when it works.

Always great to know what you think.

 

[JennieJo]

That was my first impression too.

I am totally innocent.

I am going to have to apologize to my husband. I initially told him was being silly.

Thanks CaliAnn. Your comments always inspire me.

I like that idea. It will help me when I get back to it.

I am totally innocent.

Of course you are. We know that.

Sigmund Freud would have a field day with my artworks. It's my subconscious tattle-tailing on me.
