This week we took a virtual trip to Honolulu, Hawaii to interview Jenny Lee.Jenny has been painting since 1974 and continues to learn and work on her full-time career of painting by attending fine art school. She devotes 100% of her time to her art work. Living in Hawaii, she certainly has beautiful subject matter all around her. All her oil paintings are framed and ready to be hung. You are looking at a very small sampling of her original paintings, so be sure to spend some time in her shop where you will find almost 100 original works of art. Please enjoy the interview, leave Jenny a comment, and then use the Share Tools so others can read it, too. Please spread the Zibbet Love!
I am mostly a self-taught artist and have been interested in art all of my life.I relocated to Hawaii from the East Coast 25 years ago and have found great inspiration in the beauty of the islands. I paint with oils and love bright colors. The islands provide these bright colors.I have been taking art lessons here for four years.I am an avid gardner and I love to create gardens in every spare space in my yard. My rose garden has provided me with many roses for my paintings.I also help my husband with keeping books for our custom furniture business. My husband and I have also built three custom homes here in Hawaii and finishing the interiors is an aspect of art that I love.I see beauty in nature throughout the year in my beautiful Hawaiian home. The weather is always nice and there is always something blooming. I love to put my oils on the canvas and watch them flow out.
The more I paint, the more I want to improve the next painting. Color for me is an exciting aspect of painting.I look up to traditional artists and their work inspires my painting. In particular, Pino, an Italian artist, does great art work. His work is soft impressionistic and his figures are quite beautiful.As I mentioned before, gardening is a number two passion of mine. I cannot stay out of my garden and am constantly thinking of improvements to make. Growing things is very satisfying.
What I like most about Zibbet is that you can post as many art pieces as you want and constantly change and update.New areas that I think would improve Zibbet is to see where your viewers are coming from. What city, state and country.I have a few sites that I show my work and I attend a few local art showings.I meet quite a few people on my lunch and shopping outings at Ala Moana Center on Oahu and have given out quite a few pictures on cards that I have made on my iPhoto on the computer.
To other Zibbeters, I would recommend they would pay attention to their most viewed items and concentrate on them to improve them and perhaps provide more of these items.In the future I would like to be able to broaden my painting subjects to include more difficult subjects that I have not tackled in the past.Tags: Featured Zibbeters, Jenny Lee
