Handpainted Wine Glasses

December 27, 2018 By Colleen Jorgenson 10 Comments

I’ve always said I’ll paint anything that’s not moving, and practically have. A few months ago an artist friend asked me if I’d paint ‘some’ goblets for a charity – Patron Arts of Folsom. The glasses were purchased at the Folsom Gourd & Arts Festival and proceeds were donated to an art scholarship fund – […]

Watercolor Baby Animals

October 29, 2018 By Colleen 5 Comments

watercolor-baby-animals

I wanted to share with you these cute little Watercolor Baby Animals today. I have a lot to learn about painting animals in watercolor, but the process is so much fun! I’m trying to remember the very first animal I painted. It must’ve been in 1999 or 2000 or thereabouts. It wasn’t the very first […]

Fubar’s Pet Portrait

May 23, 2018 By Colleen 2 Comments

pet-portrait

I just painted Fubar’s pet portrait. This statement makes me think two things – one, my blog is aptly named because I can’t seem to say “paint it” without putting “just” in front of it. And two, what does “Fubar” mean? The word “just” doesn’t necessarily mean ‘recently’ as in, “I ‘just painted it’, or […]

Watercolor Perfume Bottle

February 19, 2018 By Colleen 5 Comments

watercolor-perfume-bottle

I painted this Watercolor Perfume Bottle quite a while ago and never shared it. As I was editing the photos I had some questions. Are you a big time perfume person? Do you have a ‘signature’ scent or maybe a few? Or do you just buy whatever smells good at any given time? I’m none […]

A Horse is a Horse, Of Course, Of Course . . .

October 18, 2016 By Colleen 3 Comments

. . . unless you ask me to paint an abstract horse. Then there’ll likely be problems. Very likely. I’ve painted for 20 years, and in all the wall murals and canvases I’ve never once painted an abstract. So what in the world possessed me to tell a dear friend, “Abstract? Sure, no problem!” Whoo boy. […]
