Man! Now I like the kids bathroom better than ours. A little paint makes a big difference. (Color: Benjamin Moore Stillwater) 🛁🕯🕰 #alexandercottage

Really loving what’s going on behind the curtains in my studio (and time away from my phone)! Equally as excited to share the dates of my new releases. Stay tuned. Whoop! #jennaalexanderstudio #theforagedcanvas #floralsmonthbymonth

Almost three years without curtains. It was actually a joke for awhile, not needing to get them. If you guys are new here, let me catch you up. My studio is based in a historic house we call Gray (@gray_1908), and right outside my studio door is an amazing cafe, Juniper Market (@juniper_market).
☕️
So when you guys are in line for coffee, I’m swinging my door open to say hello! It’s just my personality. I love hearing your latest stories, and telling you mine! But, over the last three years I’ve noticed a shift in my work. It’s not the taking longer to finish paintings that’s bothering me but the lack of concentration. The creative right side of my brain is in the zone until I have to switch gears to the left, logical side of my brain to form a sentence.
🌾
Protecting time on the right side of my brain is important because the longer I’m there, the more discoveries are made. You know, the light bulb turns on. And I feel like I’m not getting there anymore because I can’t linger on the right side. Just as important, I feel pressure to not mess up because of these open windows. But we artists know that mistakes help us get to where we’re going.
⏳
So. Here I am, closing the curtains to my studio. And you guessed it, closing the metaphorical curtains on these Instagram windows as well. Just for a bit. Here’s to re-centering, focusing, and protecting sacred creative time. #jennaalexanderstudio

Announcing TWO series this week. I know, it feels like a lot. And it’s only the first week of January! One is illustrative and the other is fine art. Both are great and allow me to draw new conclusions (pun intended!).
🌾
The Foraged Canvas is the series that scares me...so much that I bought curtains for my fishbowl of a studio. But the new series. It’s risky. It’s going to be different. But it’s something I’ve wanted to explore. And if I don’t paint what I want to paint sooner, what’s the point of creating at all?
✨
This is the very first piece in progress. And to be honest, I’m not sure what it’s going to look like finished. And that is different for me! So cheers to the weekend, and new possibilities. #theforagedcanvas #jennaalexanderstudio

Almost five years in this house and it’s slowly becoming less white. And I don’t mean the fingerprints everywhere. Jensen specifically asks, “Mom, can we like, change the house? You know, paint it!” (who’s kid is this?!). So the bathroom makeover has been the top of their wishlist, and Navy and I are hoping to surprise Jensen when he gets home from school! 🛁⏳✨ #alexandercottage
