Some of my favorite photos from Florence are of obscure carvings most people
don't even notice because they are too busy looking at
the "famous stuff"...it is fun to Open your Eyes!

Watercolor by Jennifer Winship Mark
This is a variation of the Vanessa cardui, also known as the painted lady butterly. This particular one has the pronounced blue spots. These blue spots occur usually in younger butterflys but only for a short time. This coloring is usually caused by the pupa being exposed to cold.
This piece I donated to Providence Child Care
in honor of Chuck and Louanna Eggert
Louanna told the story of a butterfly that fluttered none stop around their yard the day after their daughter, Emily passed on.
Now when Louanna sees a butterfly, she feels reminded that she has a guardian angel watching over her.
The great people at Providence were so sweet that they sent me a package of printed noted cards with this painting on the front and Louanna's touching story on the back.
very cool!!!!
Another good reason to keep on doing nice things for others.

On the River
by Jennifer Winship Mark
This is a large piece I did in a matter of a few days. I am still fine tuning the lower left side.
It was really spontaneous and fun to paint.

"Flow"
I had so much fun painting this puzzle. It has been painted on the lid of a birch paint box. I was trying to get depth and 3 dimensions
while still remaining abstract.

Oil by Jennifer Winship MarkThis is an experiment I did in Sean Cain's class on Flemish Oil Techniques.
It is inspired by the painter,
Lucas Cranach from the 1500's
If you look up John Currin's work you will see Cranach
has inspired him as well.

This is a lucky picture!
This fixture has a wonderful sense of nostalgia mixed with
modern, mixed with humor!

The blackboard from an old school seems to be the
perfect compliment to this riot of color.
If you visit Ink and Peat, make sure you leave time to
have an amazing cup of coffee at Ristoretto Rosters. A great micro coffee roaster next door.

Amazing Birch trees in front of the Bank of California
What great textures!
The most ancient and gorgeous cherry tree at the Bank
of California. Thriving right in the middle of the city surrounded by
parking lots, high-rises and busy streets.

I am still fascinated by Fornesetti.
His sensibilities were timeless.
March 9th
Juliet Moran and I kicked off a workshop that was based on stirring people's
Creative Juices
and
Opening their eyes...
"The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind...creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers." Daniel Pink
We are pulling together encounters that inspire people to harvest new ideas.
I think we have the makings of something innovative and very exciting...
Here are some photos from our first Creative Juices encounter.
After the group spent the morning mixing their own juice concoction we move into stimulating our imaginations. We then dove into a simple and fun hands on project that everyone could finish and take home.
Everyone loved creating these small acrylic and collage faces on
a 5 x 5 black wood block
The group did similar art combining painting and collage

Between me and Juliet we have over 25 years of experience in global product marketing and global art marketing, as well as fine art creation. We have extensive knowledge and the ability to teach over 20 different art mediums and techniques. The best part is, we both have access to a large cadre of creative companies, artists and designers in the Northwest and world wide.

Still life I set up for the "Juice Bar"
We will be setting up workshops, encounters and retreats for business professional and companies that need to stay on the
creative cutting edge.
We plan on specializing in "hands on" creation and artistic exercises that are geared for renewing artistic minds and for introducing art tools to more analytical minds.
Know any engineers that need this?
I'll keep you posted on our next adventure.
If anyone has any great ideas for exercises that really get the
"Creative Juices"
flowing then ......pass it on!

Acrylic painting and collage on old nautical chart
by Jennifer Winship Mark
Hi all!! I am still around. Here is a large nautical chart I did to
commemorate a 5oth anniversary for a local business. This scene
is just off Vancouver Island on the 50th longitude.
Hopefully I can work something out with the amazing
Columbial River Maritime Museum . I am hoping to
show all 32 of my hand painted nautical charts in
one huge show. Now I just have to frame all of them!
It still is up in the air though.
I am open for any other ideas on where I can show all these Pacific Ocean charts??????

Pomegranates are everywhere in the fall in Istanbul.
Notice the gorgeous way they can cut them and open them up like
a bubbly flower.

We went to the top of a beautiful hill to one of Istanbul's most famous
writers and poets, Yahya Kemal Beyatli.
His home was humble and surrounded in peace and
pomegranate trees.
Isn't this a clever bench to commemorate a writer?

Stillife in progress by Jennifer Winship Mark
This is a large canvas I have been working on lately
when I find the time. Which is not very often. I still have at least 10 more
hours to go before this acrylic piece is finished.This is a large canvas I have been working on lately

This is a watercolor demo I started 2 years ago! I just recently decided
to finish it. Believe it or not, there really is a cute house
in Cannon Beach with this gorgeous garden!

I am still struggling with the arrangement and I need to figure out
the background and give it a great sense of glass.

This is another work in progress. I need to sharpen up the
petals and paint the little white berries. I did this with my good
friend and fellow "blogger" Christine.
