New paintings and a better less complicated idea.

Hello everyone,
I have decided that I am going to just add my new art here, instead to my website, because they are going to be deactivating bravehost accounts and switching to a new bravesites and changing their rules and stuff...So I am just going to put my new stuff here and not worry about the HTML of things.

So here are a few new paintings.


 Well I know you are probably wondering why my clock painting, doesn't have any hands! I did that on purpose, I don't feel it needs any hands as it is a different kind of fantasy time travelers clock lol...I like my art to have a fantasy feel to it, and so this clock does not have hands because it is non-winding, and it's time is infinite. I know it looks amateurish, but I don't care, and I just like to share my art with the world :-)


 This is my gears painting, I sketched it out before the clock, but decided to paint the clock first, as to bring in the gears of the clock, so they kind of go together as a pair :-) I may add more to it as I do not feel it is quite finished yet and needs some more shadow and color added.

And this is my new landscape painting, I hadn't painting one in a long time and I have been reading a great landscape painting book which has a lot of good things in there. I'll add a link to it for those who would like to try landscape painting and see that it isn't as hard as it looks :-)
I'd also like to add that some of this painting is not visible, because I scanned it and it's a little too big for the scanner, I will try to take a photo of it later and see if it comes out better and post it here in place of this one.

So here is the link for the book I used for a little bit of a guide, there is just so much in it that you'd have to see for yourself, it shows you different techniques and how to use more than one canvas to make a nice big painting for your wall! (2, 3, or even 4 canvases put together as 1) I hope you all enjoy my art because I enjoy creating it and sharing it!

Have a wonderful week and blessings to all

An update!

Hello everyone,

I would like to say sorry for not being around, and here is an update! I have been very busy, with, no school for me, and time with my child. As well as keep busy with other appointments and trying to find a job.

Summer is coming and I am planning on doing a lot of outdoor activities. I have some new paintings that need scanning as well as a few drawings I have finished as well. But due to me being busy with everything else, sadly my website and blog has been neglected. Sorry about that!

Social outside of my home is becoming a new venture so I may be a while before posting post to post.

I thank you for the patience!

Just a few words...

Hello everyone,

I plan to add more stuff next week!
Have a great week!

Backgrounds and added information content UPDATES! NEW PHOTO ADDED

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I am updating my site a little bit. The site isn't changing too much but it does look as if it has gone through a major change, because I am changing the backgrounds and borders. This means that the look and feel looks way different, as I am changing those things. Nothing else has changed, the layout is exactly the same.

However I am adding a bit of informative content to a couple pages, as I feel that some little explanation needs to be added due to new sites that get added to the "Links/Other" page. It is just an short explanation that some artist pages listed there "may" contain graphic/nude content. I only added it because some people can feel offended by it, because some as non-artist don't understand the concept of nude art to be a beauty and another expression.

I also would like to mention, that I do not place nude on my site, simply because I am a mother and have an 11 year old boy, who enjoys my art and I have found him looking through my books. Knowing this about him I do not have any nude drawings, painting or any form of nude in any of my art, due to his wandering eyes in my work. I'd love to explore, drawing nudes, but knowing he will see it, I do not. He is 11 after all.

So if you take a look at my site and go through the pages(which can also be found on the right side bar) you might slowly see my updated pages.

Have a great week everyone!

Ann J

PS- You'll also find a surprise on this page that I newly added today!

NEW UPDATE coming about! SKETCHING, PAINTINGS, DIGITAL and more!

So far I have added 3 new art pages ( art 5, art 6, and art 7)and I have also added some new sketches and some paintings. I have a big sketch and big painting to added as well. I am still working on the organization so that I will have them in order of SKETCHING, PAINTINGS and DIGITAL in their own places (pages), rather than having them all scattered together.

Another UPDATE!

I have been fixing the navigational links and adding them to the tops and the bottoms of the pages so it is a bit easier to get around. So if you are at the top and scroll down to look at the whole page, you now wont have to click back on the browser nor scroll back up to link the next page links# at the top.

I have a page specifically made for advertisements, newly added and I am trying to fix it so it doesn’t look so overwhelming with ads. I have moved those to the sides and left a text area where I will say a few words.

So in the mean time keep checking the site if you wish to see all the new and exciting changes that I am doing with my site!

If you have any concerns and or suggestions, or even an opinion on what you like to see fix or added, please feel free to leave a comment or fill one the NEW -LY ADDED form I placed one the “HOME” page!

I look forward to posting my next update …
Have a great day everyone and I thank you for visiting my links and art pages!

An extended Introduction! "Updates and About Me"..

Hello everyone,

If you have gone through my pages, you might see that I have added some new pages recently.

Art pages 5, 6 and 7 are all newly added. They have some really old drawings and paintings and some new sketches.

I have added a links page for some great offers, the heading is "Other Links", but I also have a links section on my "Home" page where I share links to other artists links as well.

Here is a little more about me.

Information about my site

Since this is my first real blog posting with more information about my site. I am just going to tell you the story of how everything came about, in a nutshell!

My website; showcasing my art, has come a very long way! The website itself started as just me playing around with html and creating a website for something to do. I didn't have any topics or any general idea of what the website would be about. But now that I have put more focus on my creativity, it has become so much more than just a regular website!

Over the years I have entered free HTML courses online; to learn more about website creation, for personal knowledge, of course! I had also join groups online for graphics programs, I gained knowledge and bettered my creativity in the process. These all being FREELY learned online, as a personal hobby. With these courses I took, I gained certification of completion! Even though those certifications were small, they gave me a sense of pleasure, knowing I had finished something I wanted for myself. Just simple things like that can give someone confidence to want to do more and better things for themselves!

I am going through my pages on my website and than when I am finally done that I will post what is new, my next blog posting with be a bit of an introduction.

Happy Easter!

The reason for this blog!

You are probably here because you followed a link from my website! Thanks for viewing my art pages! I have been working on it so much off and on lately, that I decided to create a  blog, in order to show my progress while working on it. I can keep this blog for posting the what's newly added for the new Art and the new pages I might need to add as well.

About this Blog

Hello!
And this is my blog for my art website! This is the place you would want to be if you wanted to know if anything new has been added, and to where. Without this blog you would have to go to the website and go through all the many different pages to find anything new and try to guess what or where it might be!

This is also a great place to leave comments and or feedback about what you think, what you might like to see, or maybe even some opinion of changes you wouldn't mind seeing! You can make requests, set a challenge for me( if I am up to the challenge) or anything else you might have in mind for my art pages!

Please have a look around while I am still working and will add some new added updates here later one!

Thanks for taking the time to view!
