General to specific, scribbled to blended—I love General to specific, scribbled to blended—I love getting lost in these nap time botanicals. If you haven’t seen my story, any guesses on what plant I’m illustrating? 〰️ #jennaalexanderstudio #naptimebotanicals #wip
Another January sunrise. This was painted on very Another January sunrise. This was painted on very special paper that I’ve been holding onto. When we purchased our cottage by the lighthouse, we discovered the former owner was also a painter. She left behind beautiful studies of the neighborhood, portraits, paintbrushes, and a few sketchbooks possibly dating back to the 60’s or 70’s. I love the antiquated, stained, textured paper. If you look really closely in the process video, you’ll be able to see a face. Although she didn’t work on this piece of paper, the pages of the sketchbook must’ve been pressed together for so long, one of her drawings rubbed off on this page. Next time I’m at the studio, I’ll show you guys a few of her pieces that are hanging above my desk. Pretty cool to think we both lived in the same house and found inspiration from the same neighborhood. 📜 Available January 30th. #jennaalexanderstudio #sunriseonsaltrun
45 minute oil study from last Friday night (I’m 45 minute oil study from last Friday night (I’m gettin’ real wild these days 😉 ...actually, looking back, I’ve always turned down social opportunities to paint—not much has changed there). Anyway. This piece was inspired by our cute little lemon tree we have in the front yard. 🍋 This painting, along with many, many more (ok, like 10-15) will be available to purchase online the last Saturday of the month, specifically, Jan 30th (if ya missed the memo, I’m releasing monthly collections). Now ya know. #jennaalexanderstudio

Feeling. That’s the word for this year. Not for Feeling. That’s the word for this year. Not for me personally (because I already have a lot of those—most are fluid, some untrustworthy). But the word “feeling” I want for my work. Instead of rehearsing the perfect color palette, brushstroke, and detail, I’m motivated to strip down what I’ve learned and make evocative work that has a feeling—maybe even if it’s just a space for my viewers to take a breath or pause. 〰️ I don’t know if this piece is finished, I don’t even know what it is. But the process, completely different from what I know, was freeing and loose and beautiful. And instead of adding to it or reworking it, I’m just going to let it be. For now. Maybe forever. 〰️ “art isn’t supposed to look nice, it’s meant to make you feel something.” —rainbow rowell #jennaalexanderstudio
I owe you guys a big ‘thank you’ for participa I owe you guys a big ‘thank you’ for participating in my poll last week. I’ve decided to change it up this year and paint monthly collections versus daily. And so far, it’s making me pretty happy. I mean, look at January’s collection thus far. What a calm feeling. 〰️ Each month, I’ll be releasing art on the LAST Saturday of the month. This month, it lands on the 30th. Some of these contours are commissions, so don’t get your heart set on something. With that being said, I’m able to take on a few more contour commissions this month. DM me if you’re interested. 〰️ #jennaalexanderstudio #jennaalexandercontours
