Ohh April! My very favorite time of the year is when the cherry blossoms are out in full bloom, and the great long stretch of summer is out before us in glorious, warm possibility. I spent some time this week painting the cherry blossoms and happily reveling in their heavenly beauty… I was in the park almost every day! Check out my time lapse of the painting done and a few of my other pieces. Send me a message at jlibor@jessicalibor.com if you are interested in collecting any of these oil sketches.

I can’t leave without posting the most epic floral painting ever. “The Roses is Heliogabalus” by Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema. Enjoy! Until next time,

Me and mom--circa 1989

Me and mom–circa 1989

Mother’s day is just around the corner.  It was my mom who taught me to be creative and dream as big as the sky, and it’s important to honor these irreplaceable ladies. For the special occasion, I wanted to do a special sale.  I have chosen one artwork and reduced its price in honor of Mother’s Day–you might find that your mom might like it!  The chosen piece is “Midmorning,” and it’s oil on panel.  It is available as the one and only original, framed in a beautiful gold frame, and also as a limited edition print, which comes hand signed on archival quality paper.  Both the print and the original have been reduced in price for Mother’s Day, and will go back to regular price after May 5.  To order a print or the original, click the links below:

Peaches and Cream Portrait Study, 8x10", oil on canvas, Jessica Libor 2012

At Ellen Cooper’s portrait class last week, we completed the first portrait.  For me, this was two sittings, 3 hours each.  The model had the most wonderful, elegant profile, and flawless skin, the overall effect being that of an English noblewoman painted so frequently by John Singer Sargent.

Although my painting is no Sargent, I tried to capture the loveliness of her glowing skin and the attitude of her profile.

Refuge, oil and silver leaf on linen, 20"x24", Jessica Libor 2011

I completed this painting about a month ago, but wanted to wait until I had a good image to share before posting about it.  It’s called “Refuge”, and is oil and silver leaf on linen, at 18″X20 inches in dimension.  It’s a painting of a friend, like most of my work, and something  I really enjoyed working on.  If you’re interested in collecting it, see more details on my website www.jessicalibor.com, or if you’re interested in viewing it, email me and we can work something out.  Enjoy!
