Taking a Fresh Look

View of Mt. Diablo 
Pastels 14”x 23” 
$330

A couple of years ago I put this drawing away when I finished it, because it didn't turn out how I had intended at the time. I was a bit frustrated and didn't want to look at it. Fast forward to yesterday when I opened up a portfolio to find this piece, and now I like it.  Every art piece develops into its own entity. We as artists have ideas of how we want an art piece to go, and our skills guide the results. Unpredictable things happen when exploring art. Sometimes it takes stepping away from a work to notice and appreciate those unpredictable things. Artists, take a fresh look at your art as often as possible!

New watercolor: "Fading Light" by artist Jeannette Fromm

 

Fading Light
Watercolor 8" x 5"
$100

This lone windmill in the setting sun inspired this artwork. This scene for me conjures up childhood memories of vast California farmland, with sight and sound dimming as the light fades in the distance, a feeling of nostalgia.

Today's painting: Point Montara Lighthouse

Point Montara Lighthouse
Watercolor 7" x 11" $125

California has a lot of history when it comes to its many costal light houses. Although lighthouses were constructed as beacons utilized best in extreme weather conditions, I see them a beautiful structures exemplifying historical costal communities. A sunny day with waves crashing in the background is the perfect backdrop for the Point Montara Lighthouse.

Today's Painting: Seagulls on the Shore

Seagulls on the Shore 
Watercolor 5" x 7", $90

I grew up in Pismo Beach California. There is something about the sight of seagulls on the shore that takes me back to the beach, its sounds, smells, and the warm sun on my skin. Painting this was fun! To see more of my new art, check out my website at www.jeannettefromm.com, or my Facebooksite Jeannette Fromm Art.

Watercolor: "People Watching"

I decided to pull out my watercolor paint and play around with it. Its been awhile since I've painted in watercolor. I'm rediscovering what I can do with my colors, and how the paper behaves. It's fun!
