I blame salmonella in the bloodstream for not finishing 12 paintings by 2012.
However, I have 12 paintings in progress (that's half of the project!!!!) - 6 of which are nearly finished! Now that I'm 100% healthy Jenna again, I'm going hard. Working mornings, lunch breaks, nights, and weekends is quite effective - and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
The ambition comes from a new year, an installation this spring (at Cafe Davinci—come see it!), and, of course, the children. I get to see those 24 faces in 2 months when I travel to Tanzania for work! Stoked is an understatement. They'll all be asking, "Mees Jana, whuh is my painting?"
This is what I've been up to the past month:

This is what I've been up to the past month:
My studio during Christmas break!
Addy picks four of her favorite pieces for framing.
We "work" the frame as Brandy builds more!
Then we get in trouble and get back to real work, kind of.
And voila, the semi-finished Aneth is hammered onto the orange fabric frame!
Isaka's bright turquoise frame looks stunning against his orange complexion!
Oh, and here's my custom-made Even Me easel that folds up small enough for my car!
Four paintings packed for the roadtrip home! Thanks Gma and Gpa for the jeep!
Two paintings were left behind, but will soon be back in my studio!
