New Vintage Dress Painting!

I revised this painting and it's now in a private collection

Revisiting my vintage dress paintings the other day inspired me to do a large one. The dress I used for reference was a vintage prom dress or maybe a wedding dress but I updated it a little with the floral appliqués that I love so much in today's bridal styles. I love to watch "Say Yes To The Dress" and am so inspired by the dresses on there. I know, I'm a dork...but I just love that show. I also love weddings and would get remarried every year if I could! I am really happy with how this painting turned out. I had been wanting to do something like this for a long time but I think I wasn't ready until now.

Redondo Beach Artist Jen Beaudet Zondervan

sold

Here's my latest painting of the Redondo Beach Pier. This one is really large compared to other ones I've been doing lately. It took me a while to get the colors of the pier the way I wanted them but I'm happy with it now. I miss this place...so many great memories.

Birthday Painting Day!

email me if interested

Today's my birthday and I'm going to spend it painting! I'm working on a large 24x30 piece. It's a beach scene of Redondo Beach. How I wish I could spend 

the day at the beach today...

This is my latest painting of a beautiful tree lit with the warmth of the sun. 

Happy Weekend!!!

Peach Dress

sold

This is a small interior study with my favorite color, peach, as the star. It's available in an auction (has one bid) which ends very soon! The photo needs a little improvement here. I usually finish my 

painting late afternoon or night when lighting is low.

Fun in the Summer Sun...

sold

This is a small painting of my home, Redondo Beach. I spent so many days on that pier and it's still a place I visit any time I'm in town. This piece brings back the feelings of summer fun! I think I need to do some larger ones in this series. Have a great week!

Tropical Dream 2

This is a painting I did a few months ago and thought I'd revise some things about it. I started out just wanting to lighten up a few palm fronds but ended up changing the color

everywhere. I liked it before, but now I love it. I hope you do too! I hope everyone had a fun Independence Day Celebration! Mine wasn't quite as much fun as when I was a kid or even a teenager but it was good. We went to my mom's and bbq'ed. The fireworks were on Saturday so I watched them on tv! Last year I was at the beach with my daughter.  Maybe next year!

This is a piece I did for a challenge on DailyPaintWorks. I think I'd like to try something like this in a larger format. I have so many photos of landscapes that are nothing special but I think would make nice paintings. The great thing about art is you can add whatever you want!
