Since I recently retired from painting pet portraits, I wanted to invite you to my new blog which is still about art but is not so focused on pet paintings. I wanted a new blog as a symbol of this new direction I'm taking with my art.
So, without further ado, let me present the J Gibson Art Studio blog:

About Me
- Jan
- I'm an artist living in the middle of the boonies but usually enjoying every minute of it. Living in the country means no cable or super fast internet connection and certainly no brick and mortar art stores within easy reach. But it also means that we have an abundance of wildlife right outside our door as well as beautiful landscape vistas just about anywhere we look. That's well worth the lack of modern conveniences to me.

Hi Jan,
I am glad you wandered over from Sue Clinker's blog.
The geese - what can I say - I love painting them, and I suppose it shows. I find them fascinating and funny at the same time. The painting on the header actually won a prize, and was a favorite at the Federation of Canadian Artists gallery. I am known as the "goose lady". The gallery requested more geese, and I am happy to oblige.
As for acrylic - ACK!!! Those paper mache figures have been sitting for days to be finished. I hate the thought of going back into the acrylic.
Anyway, I am rambling. Thank you for visiting my blog!!

Hi Jan,
You were wondering "why" paper mache. A friend commissioned me to fabricate 5 "awesome boxes". She wanted animal themes, so these are what I made.

PS - and it is just so much fun to play with :)
Jan, thank you so much for writing. I quite like The Muses, too, and I am a harsh critic :) As for rest - as they say ... no rest for the wicked!!!
