Odette, by Jessica Libor

These pieces are all inspired by myths and fairy tales. Each scene is 2.5″ x 3.5″ and is oil on arches paper mounted on cardboard, with accents of real 23 karat gold leaf. The first is “Forbidden Love,” a romantic interlude between a mermaid and fisherman.

The second is “Odette,” a stylized painting of the story made famous by the ballet, “Swan Lake.” Each day Odette turns into a swan.

The third is “Forest Royalty,” inspired by the rulers of the forest in some alternate universe.

Each piece is $100 and can be acquired by contacting Gristle Gallery at gallery@gristletattoo.com .

The Brave Adventuress, ink, watercolor and 23 karat gold leaf on paper, by Jessica Libor 2019

Dear readers, during the month of May I did a creative exercise; daily sketch works! Every day for 30 days, I created a new piece of art. During this period I experimented with soft tones in inks, watercolors, and gilding. Originally, I had planned to do a daily piece for 90 days. However, I found that the time and creative juices that it took to create a daily piece was being sapped away from the creative energy I needed to create my larger pieces for my solo show coming up. So, I capped it at 30 days–but will certainly look forward to doing this again!

Below are a few of my favorite pieces from this time. If you are interested in any of these pieces or would like a link to the full available collection, please email me at jlibor@jessicalibor.com.
