Question

When New Yorkers order a regular coffee, they want it:

A. Black 

B. Black with sugar

C. with milk and sugar 

D. With milk, no sugar

Answer C.

With milk and sugar 

Regular coffee ordered not from a barista but "to go" from a harried waiter in a New York coffee shop, means with milk and sugar. This can be quite confusing to tourists from Chicago, where regular means black and Boston, where regular connotes, "milk, no sugar." But toss in a "poppy with shmear", (a poppy seed bagel with cream cheeses) and you've got a nice little New Your breakfast .

Wow, I never knew there was so many ways to order a regular coffee. Which is what I say when I want a black cup of coffee. 

However, a little "shmear" of cream cheese is always a good idea on any type of bagel.

Today's the day. 

I just finished my two samples.

I have painted, sealed, and sent them off with my application.

The two paintings, left and right are part of my new series,

"Let's have a Little Fun" 

Wish me luck.
I will let you know what happens later. 

As an artist I am always looking for new ways to show my artwork along with selling my artwork. 

I have joined many  organizations, contests, and mail art programs. 

For me art has been a life line. I would paint each day even if no one saw my work. 

I love art. I read about art, I look at art each day, and I paint each day.

I have three books going at all times. 

Art history, art biographies, and how to paint books. 

I can loose myself wondering around an art supply store for hours. 

I love to see whats new. Try something I have not yet done and basically be creative in all areas not just painting.

What's next for Jean Hart Artwork  

I started to draw on paper cups. Paper Coffee Cups with lids, which I make bigger so you can use them as banks. I bought a box of cups so I'm still designing banks. New designs will soon be posted.

If your looking for an original, original fine art gift, these are fun. 

I glue them to a wooden base for more security. 

I have them displayed at the Northeastern Nevada Museum gift store or contact me. 

they sell for $15.00

In May at the Elko Library I have a donation for their Just Desserts fundraiser

Read, Learn, Grow, acrylic 9" x 12" 

Also, a puzzle  donated for the 

Light The Way 5K 

In Elko, Nv 

What are the many ways you show your artwork? 

Be Inspired,

Read, Learn and Grow, a little still life

Jean Hart Artwork

Read, Learn and Grow

 

 

 

Read, Learn and Grow, acyclic, by artist Jean Hart

The best way I know how to get back into the studio and start painting is by setting up still lives.
 The last real still life I did was in art class;
where we sat and drew brown paper bags
 for the whole semester!
Since I haven't been painting lately.
  I thought this little still life would get me going again.
I used this simple little compositions to begin with.
The hardest things for me is to get the colors right.
My palette is strong and bold. I had to really bring it down for this painting.
The background and the table are so subtle and similar I really had to force the shadows.
If your just beginning to paint here is a list of brushes that I use.
1. small, medium, and large flat brushes.
2. Medium round brushes.
3. Liner brush.
4. Medium filbert brush.
5. Medium fan brush.
I also use an angled brush that I have grown to love the most.
Be Inspired,
~jean
