Today's misbehaving male at the art show: grown ass man picks up this little figure study and says "so did you really sit there and have to look at 'that' to draw this? - sir this woman is a Queen and your clueless eyes do not deserve to behold her

Today's progress on "Spotlight, #2" and the state of the studio, plus the colors I've decided are 'the' palette of me and my brother's childhood

"Place" sketches: with various times and with watercolor experiments. Will keep the watercolor on the road, I think. But it doesnt give me the joy that oil does.

The Hokusai museum in Japan redefined sketchbooks for me. The recent trip to Croatia gave me reason to Kickstart the practice. Here's a few sketches from Croatia!

Took decades of hating painting and a good bit of time unlearning art school brainwashing to finally truly understand the guidance "paint what you know" that they tout. And now, even in the roughest, uncanniest phase of my paintings I get shivers and feel like I'm speaking to the dead.

It is incredibly obvious and ironic and relieving and frustrating that I discovered (though many have tried to tell me this before) that the best way to break my months long lack of motivation in the studio was to take a week off of the studio (and other responsibilities). A big thing is being made.

This memory of her stuck out in my mind, but i wanted to paint her at peace. Here she is happy, with healthy pet chickens, and clean white pants, and some goddamn menthol in that cigarette. Love you, patricia. (8/8) jenniferheron.art/painting/ol-...

the human spirit and memory is an odd thing: the only thing that hurt her feelings about this whole incident is that she had just gotten a brand new pair of white pants she loved. Now they were coated in Georgia red clay and "ruirnt." (7/8)

she continued with an even sadder story: recalling the time her daddy was mad at her for breaking curfew so he beat her and told her to walk home, only to meet her a half mile up the road to beat her again, leave her again, and see her the next half mile up the road. all the way home. (6/8)

This entire time, she was sucking on a mcdonalds straw cut down to the length of a cigarette. the doctor told her she had to quit smoking, but she just needed a thing to do with her hands. those long draws kept her sane.(5/8)

The chicken had reminded her of a pet chicken she had a young girl who sat in her lap. But the day before we saw her someone ran over the new hen with their car as patricia and the hen took their daily walk to the mailbox. (4/8)

Just a week prior; she had been in good spirits. A month before that, poor. That month her dog had died, and she needed the companionship of a pet, but felt she was too old to get a dog and promise to care for them. But magically a chicken started following her around, and she was smitten. (3/8)

This painting inspired of a particular memory i had of her; she was always so confident and sure of herself but one day as she was getting older in life we had gone to visit her and she was in kind of a sadder, more retrospective mood (2/8)
