Little Gull Guy

sold

I did this for a challenge and didn't think I would like it but I do. It's cute, don't you think? I added a slight point to the tail because it just looks a little too blunt here. I'm planning a new floral piece right now and also thinking about some umbrellas. This weekend flew by and I can't believe we're in fall now. I can really feel it in the air. I'm looking forward to the beautiful fall colors around here. I was in L.A. at this time last year so I missed the colors.

Kauai!

in private collection

Kauai is one of my favorite islands in Hawaii. I really love them all but I've been to Kauai three times now and never get tired of it. It's everything I think of when I think of paradise. 

I took this photo a few years back and just found it when looking for another. It's a beach called Salt Pond Beach Park. I remember we almost had the whole beach to ourselves. 

It was magical, just like every day is in Kauai.

A Day at the Beach

by Jennifer Beaudet

Oil on Canvas

24x30 inch

I retook this painting today with outside lighting...much better.

This is a larger painting of the small study I did a few weeks ago. 

This is how I like to spend my days. How about you? Have a wonderful day!

Pink Roses with Cherries...

on Etsy here

There's just something about the color pink and when you add green it's even more beautiful. I haven't done one of these in a while and thought it was time for a little frilly pink! This one has deep sides that are gallery wrapped so no need for a frame here! I've had a busy week with sales, sales, sales! I've sold four paintings in the last two weeks! Things are going well. I will be painting another large pier painting and some more umbrellas. Thanks so much for all your support! I appreciate each and every one of you!

Figure in Red Dress

Available here

I just finished this oil painting of a somewhat abstract figure in a red dress. Any suggestions for a name?

I think it's going to be called "The Moment". Thank you for the suggestion Terra! 

I'm so inspired to paint more like this and the other vintage dress painting I recently did.

I just got the Zumba fitness program and am starting it with my mom. I need to loose 20 pounds by October. We'll see if it works! I'm excited to start seeing and feeling the results! 

Welcome to all my new followers and visitors! I'm so happy to have you stop by:)

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

New Figure Painting...

Painting by Jen Beaudet Zondervan born 1970 California 

This is my latest impressionist oil painting. For now it;s going to be titled something like Girl Sitting. Any suggestions are welcome! I'll have it listed on Etsy later this afternoon but was hoping to get a little feedback before I did. Your comments are always appreciated! 

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!!!

I really like this combination of colors; so sweet and welcoming. 

The pot is a little washed-out in this photo. 

I hope you're having a great week! I'm looking forward to the 4th of July and

my birthday month! Is it bad to want to celebrate the whole month for my birthday?

My mom brought me these beautiful peonies from Trader Joe's. It was so sweet of her. I plan on doing a really large one but I think I need to keep it for my new home! I hope everyone has a 

wonderful week!

Roses and Polka Dots!

no longer available

I just finished this one for a challenge from Daily Paintworks. The painting was done completely with a palette knife which was a lot of fun. But I think I need to read up a little more on techniques.

Oh and can you tell the roses are from my garden! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

I'll call her Spring...

contact me

contact me

She just reminds me of Spring so I'm calling her "Spring 1". The "1" because I might do more like this. 

If you've been following my art for awhile then you know I'm not that creative when it comes to titles.

It's even a chore to title my blog posts sometimes! 

I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine is going great. I managed to find the perfect pair of white linen capris for my trip (among other things) And the best thing was, when I got to the checkout counter

I found out they were 1/2 off! So I got another pair. 

We should be announcing the winner by Friday so please check back.
Ok...take care!

Roses Shells and Sun...

original oil by Jen Beaudet Zondervan sold

The perfect combo. I love all these things and wish this really was my view.  Unfortunately it's far from it. I have a beautiful view from my home but it's been snowing and raining for about a week. The sun finally came out so I could paint this one with the beautiful light from the sun. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
