The Insideout Artist- Jeni Reeves

Made with Conte Crayons this is a light and dark drawing of my old room.

I really detest stilllife drawings. I like when others do them but I am not a freehand person. I like my art done with my computer. In this three part still life, I have to show the surface, surroundings, shadows, and the 2D/3D of the objects. Made with colored pencils.

Made with pastels. My cousin Tiffany shared her garden flowers with me so I could complete a floral assignment. The vase is flat but I can deal with the outcome.

Egghead.. what can I say, it was the value scale of white to black that had to be tested here in this image. My egg was smarter than me since I could not get the lighting and value right. Made with Acrylic paints.

My lavender purse, lavender rock, and lavender box (that contains my granny's photo, candle, and scent) I call it Lavender Heaven. Made with Acrylic paints.

The Holy Bible, Chalice, and urn. This can be represented in several ways. All three are important elements in my life. Just like the Holy Trinity. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Made with Acrylic paints.

This is a display of Warm and Cool variations that can change the look and outcome of any painting. Made with Acrylic Paints.

Valley of Light. Only Thomas Kinkade seems to be the only one who can capture the light within the paintings. This painting was made with Acrylic paints.

What can I say about this painting? This is my most prized piece ever created. This was my very first portrait painting, I ever created in my life. I panicked at the idea of having to paint this because I want perfection. The only person I could think to paint was my friend, Joe. As I have created art with his face before, I knew that this one I could really create it. Joe has these eyes that are empowering, kind, and sweet. They can make anyone feel like they are a person of God. He has his mother's eyes. I wanted to capture those eyes. His jawline is interesting and unique that to create the depth, would be a challenge. It was. I wanted to paint for the first time the person that inspires me to be the best I can be and never look back at what went wrong. Thank you, Joe. Your friendship is miraculous! This painting was made with Acrylic paints.

This was my second portrait painting ever. Since I was proud of the first one, I wanted to challenge myself by painting Eli at a difficult angle. This was made with Acrylic paints.
