Selling Art

Of course, my paintings are for sale. I have a website: www.jeanhannastudio.com, if you would care to see more of my work. If you are interested, please contact me through my email address. I accept commission work. I will post new work on my blog.

An Artist's Life in Small Town USA


I hope to enlighten and share my art and thoughts about my art and life in this small southern town. Art is truly a way of life. When the muse strikes, nothing else matters. When you dream about your work, waking up before daylight to attack the canvas is normal.


The winter is usually a period of prolific paintings, but not this year. I have begun to hold on to the work longer than usual, refining, thinking, second thinking, not wanting to leave the easel. I believe that I am on an upward learning curve, and when I am on that road, the work is better, but it is harder to part with the paintings.
So spring fever has hit me hard. For the last two weeks, I have not been able to paint anything but florals, and that is particularly unusual. I am known for hard hitting, bright, colorful landscapes, but I am ready for spring, my spirit is pouring onto the canvases, and that does sound a tad cheesy, but we do paint our desires.

Up Date: 2011:  Realized that it is not my job to enlighten, this is a fruitless effort in my part of the world.  It is up to the individual to accept and desire enlightenment.  It is only my job to offer the vehicle!
