Magnolia
Magnolia Flowers |
The original photo lacked the lightness and warmness I wanted to evoke. I started out adjusting levels and saturation, and finally changing filters and hues to get the final result.

This self portrait project is created in Photoshop. I photographed 21 objects that have present or historical significance in my life...horses, clocks, palette, cooking tools, paint brushes, apples, suitcases, leaves from spring to fall, fabric... and can't live without butter. This is the result:

Spring Open Studios- Highlights & Ice Flowers
Next weekend we have our annual Spring Open Studio event at SOMA Artists Studios. For more information please go to www.somaartiststudios.com or visit my website (www.jennywantuch.com)
During this event I am showing works on paper created in 2012. I was inspired by the images I saw on my trip this winter to Sweden; Ice, frost, darkness contrasted with high key values of patches of snow. I call the series "Highlights & Ice Flowers". The art work is mixed media (charcoal, ink, graphite, acrylic, tape and pastel) on paper. Here are a few of them:

A Certain Place of Indecision
The Road Not Taken- by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
A Certain Place of Indecision- Oil by Jenny Wantuch, 2011
When I showed this painting during Open Studios, someone told me how it reminded him of the dilemma that Robert Frost describes with his poem "The Road Not Taken". We all recognize this place. A place we will come back to "ages and ages hence".
