Memory book 4

This is the first memory book with a hard cover and a clasp on the front. It is made with Kanban cardstock and flower stamps from Heartfelt Creations. This memory book is available please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.co.uk if you are interested in purchasing it.

Memory book 2

This is my second memory book and was made with an old card kit that had been pushed to the back of a drawer ever since I got it. Since I’d gone off the idea of making cards with it, I decided to use it as a memory book. In actual fact I got two books out of it, this one and one a little smaller. 

These two are available to purchase, please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.co.uk for more info.

Memory book 1

I have not completely forsaken crafting, but, instead of card making I now make Memory books. This is the first I made and it is a combination of photos of my Grandma and all the yummy baking recipes she shared with me.

Digital Art

I have also been trying my hand digital Art on an iPad. Here are some of my efforts. If anyone is interested in purchasing a print please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.com for information. I do not have a stock of prints at this time but if there is a demand I can have some made.

Dog portraits

After seeing some work on Facebook by an artist using Pitt pastels, I wanted to try this medium, but, the downside was cost. They are quite expensive. By chance though, I was told by a friend, of a woman who was returning to live in Australia after many years here. To save on shipping costs she was selling much of her artist materials, so I contacted her and went over to see what she had. I managed to get hold of a substantial amount of supplies, including more oil paints, acrylics and a huge collection of Pitt pastels. What a stroke of luck! I didn’t waste long having a go and here are two A4 portraits of my dog, a Parson Russell, and a Springer Spaniel which belongs to a young lady on my course.

I have A4 giclee art prints of these if anyone is interested in purchasing one, £25 each. Please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.com for more information.

The Gray Lady

Following on from 21st Birthday I began work on ‘The Gray Lady’. This work is taken from a photo of my daughter by one of her fellow students at De Montfort University, Leicester, Hari Chandana Mabbu who graciously gave me permission to use. Again, I found oil easy to work with. I like the slow drying time because it can be manipulated until you get it right. If you get the colour onto the canvas and it’s slightly out you can blend into it until you get it to where it needs to be. So.... here it is.
I have A3 giclee prints available if anyone is interested in purchasing one. They are £60 each.  Please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.com for payment details.

21st Birthday

I’ve always been relatively decent at drawing, but that is all I’ve done, but for Christmas 2017 I asked for a set of oil colours. As soon as I got them, I set off. I knew what I wanted to paint, a portrait of my daughter on her 21st birthday. I drew a grid on the canvas a copied a line drawing across and then set to work. It just seemed to flow so easily and was a pleasure to work with. I was soooooo happy with the result it now sits in pride of place above my fireplace. Here is a picture but I’m afraid it’s not a particularly good quality photo so I do apologise. I really must take a better one.
