Mail Art :Woodland Envlope

This is the piece I'm mailing to: http://www.mailmeart.com/ I hope it has enough postage.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like

It is sort of a combination of fairytales.

Sales and shows for the end of 06'

This year I will be at the: 2006 Fort Point Holiday Sale http://www.fortpointarts.org/ Friday December 8th 11-7 and Saturday Dec 9, 11-5 I will mostly be selling prints and neat little buttons because I need to finish 12-20 new paintings for a show in the new year. I will still have 2-3 orignal pieces but they will be in limited supply. And when the time comes post more info about my show at the Gulu-Gulu Cafe in Lynn Mass. http://www.gulu-gulu.com Thanks, Enjoy. I hope to see you there.

Time to Quit my day job?

Well not quite,

But I am selling my paintings faster than I can paint.

Prints help a lot ,, they keep people intrested in my work and provide a little income inbetween paintings. I think I may have to raise my prices again.. I know my work is cheep but I want to still keep some of the orignals affordable to people that would not normally purchase art.. (college students, starving artists and such)

we will see..

on the top of my list is to update my website and get a nice body of work done for a cafe show I'm having in the new year.

I do not think I will do the Boston SciFiCon this year, they moved it and now it is harder to get to...I will also need some more time to paint. ------ Happy Halloween..

Boston arts festival

I had a very short interview at the Boston arts festival wich aired on the Boston news channel. I interview badly, but it was good pratice.. I guess. http://www.cityofboston.gov/cable/video_library.asp?id=682

Art Supplies

I just got my Blick shipment today of Art Boards and matts. I love getting new art supplies. I'm ordering some prints for open studios and am looking foward to their arival. One of my co-workers (Shannon O'Connor) published an artical about the Boston Arts festival and some of my work in The Mass Media www.the-mass-media.com . I will post it on my website.

Cafe Press Store

I now have a Cafe Press store with some buttons and T-shirts http://www.cafepress.com/jenniferlewis

Open Studios

The Boston arts festival went really well last weekend. I got two interviews, one for cable access and one from my starbucks friend. I really do not interview that well, but it was good to have the experience. I also got a offer to show at a coffee shop out of town, wich I will most likely do if I have the time and enough work. I sold a lot of paintings and now I do not have much work for open studios. I do have a few more days off than usual and some almost finished paintings, but I also have a wedding to attend up in Maine wich will take up a little time but should be fun. Open studios should be really good this year, a lot more artists moved into our building and I feel that I have a more well-rounded body of work. Prints seem to work really well to cut down on my stress level and fill that gap of lower priced pieces. They also help show a broader representation of my work if I have sold out of most of my 0rignals. -yay prints! www.fortpointarts.org

New Stuff

I'm going to be finishing a lot of paintings in the next two weeks, I have to prepare for the Boston arts festival and open studios. I just got my computer work station set up. I forked out 300$ to get my water-damaged laptop fixed and had a sweet set-up. The lap top was on wireless conected to my scanner and on the same table as my desktop. About a week after I had everything conected my desktop decided to die... wich was not that much of a loss except that I lost the files for my new and improved fancy website and my zip drive. (the new site, when it is remade will be @ www.jenny-lewis.com ) Well at least my laptop works now. The painting above is "Tiger Bone" and the theme of this work is : tourists get lost. Enjoy

"Captured heart"

One of my most liked pieces.

Someday I may paint another like it..
