settling.....
It's taken years, but I finally feel like I'm settling - finding a comfortable rhythm, but not too comfortable - feeling like I've got the hang of keeping the work in MY zone - comfort but still pushing the edges - keeping my aesthetic honest without trying to do what I saw and fell in love with yesterday, last week, two months, etc. - I've tried on alot of 'art styles' and finally feel like I'm home. This is not to say that I won't evolve, but I now have a very strong base to work from - I am messing with textiles, building assemblage, and experimenting with bees wax - I love it all, but it now carries my stamp! When I line all my work up together there is a cohesiveness - it feels like the same family, but with the usual number of individuals represented. The two paintings below are a continuation of my 10x10 works - these are a real challenge for me - the small area has really stretched my ideas on space and structure. They have been hard for me - I would rather travel a much larger surface, but am finding a way to work that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't challenged myself.

Your in your Zone girl.
your feelings will keep you evolving.
She buried it deep is such a beauty. Your work is zen, Jeane, and very much a signature style. Congrats!
A signature style for sure! Beautiful, honest and with feeling.
Jeane,
these are two particularly beautiful work. It is always interesting to read what you give us also for information about you and your work. That can also not many people.

Hi Jann, and thank you, so glad you stopped by :)
~The Way It Is~ "There's a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn't change. People wonder about what your are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can't get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die, and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time's unfolding. You don't ever let go of the thread" William Stafford
Jeane, Your post reminded me of that fabulous poem by Willaim Stafford. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xo
Beautiful.
how great to have arrived at your "place", your art home after lots of hard work and years. A reward indeed. And your authentic voice is truly beautiful.
Chris, I loved this quote - it pretty much says it all doesn't it! thank you :)

it is great ZenDot - home is a good place to find oneself, thank you :)
brilliant work, so glad to have found your blog, these pieces remind me of maps, they are very pleasing, thanks
How wonderful to be comfortable in the place you are. These two paintings may be 'small' for you but they are big on beauty!
Your work continues to inspire me and feed my soul, Jeane. I return again and again to get my "fix" :) I love where you are with your art.
