I'm hopping all over the place lately due to my fish printing not cooperating or more like, me not concentrating on it enough.
Today I was going to throw the remains of some oil paint away. It was the remainder of a previous painting and I had over squeezed. Instead, I decided that I'd do another one hour painting with whatever was left on this limited palette.
This is a self portrait, done from looking into the webcam of my laptop. Its not a perfect likeness, but close, considering my limitations of time and paint. Its on a 6 x 8 canvas panel.
I like self imposed time limits for paintings. They really loosen up strokes and colour value decisions and prevent me from futzing around on a piece forever.

very fun
really nice :) its great what you can get done in an hour :)
A rough sketch, an excellent idea. I like your choice of colors Jeanette.
It's lovely - and I recognised you!
Awesome! It's really beautiful, Jeanette.
Thanks Pat. Its fun to test myself sometimes.
Jennifer, I still can't get a good image of this painting. Here its too dark. It won't photograph for some reason.
Olivia, the colours were leftovers and fairly limited which is good. I like limited palettes as they take away some decision making from me.
Cathy, you did? Wonderful! That's a good thing then. I need more practice on quick portraits, but I don't think I'd ever make it as a street artist. :)
Thank you Sue.
I had planned to say the same as Cathy - I recognized you immediately!
