Hey that's me!

Did you know I also make fantasy and sci-fi inspired art under the name @jeveart.bsky.social ? Surprise! πŸ˜›

If you see this post a #dragon ! (One of the stranger things I've made; a dragon-themed #chess board)

Digital sketch vs. final (oil). Originally thought I was going to paint this on natural canvas with clear gesso, but I took a stab at it and didn't like it. So ended up painting on white gessoed canvas. Sometimes you gotta change up your idea πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ #oilpainting #painting #figurativeart

Happy to be exhibiting at The Other Art Fair Chicago in a few weeks. Debuting this piece as well as many others 🧑 #mixedmediaart #painting #chicagoartscene

"Eve Through the Trees" - oil and glass beads on panel. Currently living at @nannygoatgallery.bsky.social #mixedmediaart #mixedmedia #oilpainting

In progress. Love exploring with unusual colors πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’™ #oilpainting #mixedmedia #painting

In progress. If there's one thing I'm gonna do, it's colorful and slightly weird skin tones #oilpainting #figurativepainting

If you see this, post something RED 🎈

I worked full-time in tech for many years before rediscovering art in my 30s. I still do some freelancing. QRP with your artwork and share what other passions/jobs/hobbies you have? ✨

If you see this QRP with your portrait art πŸ’•

In progress. Trying to find a balance between loose drawing and rendering with paint. This one will debut at The Other Art Fair Chicago in March. #oilpaiting #mixedmedia #art #painting

Progress pic from a while ago (still in the "ugly" phase). This triptych I made for Starbucks was so large that the three panels didn't fit side-by-side in my little studio... πŸ˜‚ #art #painting #muralart #mermaid

Happy to share that this original sold recently. I loved painting the skin tones ❀️ Oil, gold leaf, and platinum leaf. #oilpainting #mixedmedia #beautifulbizarre

Hi friends, I'm thinking of making some screen prints of my paintings. Which two would you be most likely to want to hang on your wall? You can use the numbers: 1 2 3 4 #fantasyart #booksky #screenprinting

When I showed my 6-year-old niece this painting, she said, "Aunt Karen, I think you forgot to color in some parts." πŸ˜‚ #painting #art #oilpainting (original sold, prints available)

QRT with your sketch and final I often do large "sketches" to plan out everything before I get started. For some reason, I just gotta see it at full size to really get a sense of the composition.

Happy to share that this original acrylic painting "Dark Feathers" has sold. But! I'm considering having some screen prints made. If that's something you might be interested in, get in touch! #painting #illustration #darkart

~*~Traditional painters~*~ (oil, acrylic, watercolor, etc.): let's find each other! Quote repost with a detail from one of your paintings.

Quote your portraits ❀️

In progress. Experimenting with using acrylic marker as a type of sketch/underpainting. #painting #oilpainting #mixedmediaart

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

An actual viable alternative to IG is very exciting

Happy Portfolio Day, everyone! I'm available this year for commercial work www.hannahalexanderartwork.com #portfolioday

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m a freelance illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany, with a focus on fantasy and history subjects & narrative illustration. Currently open for new projects in publishing and print games! 🌎 www.kristinagehrmann.com πŸ“© [email protected]

Love seeing this style painted with physical media. Gorgeous!

Lovely, unique style. These would look amazing screen printed.

I really admire outstanding landscape artists. It's something that has never really clicked in my brain, so I appreciate seeing it done so well.

Hi #PortfolioDay. I'm J Eve. I make paintings/illustrations inspired by #fantasy and #scifi novels. I'm just starting to share my work publicly πŸ™ˆ

Hi #PortfolioDay :) I am a traditional artist who is constantly experimenting with combining oil paint with other media (sometimes weird stuff like glass beads and crushed semi-precious stone!) My art celebrates the multifaceted nature of female power and identity ❀️

Progress pic from a 13 x 8 foot painting (triptych technically) I made for Starbucks. It now hangs at 120 S. Riverside in the heart of downtown Chicago πŸ’š #muralart #painting

A progress pic from Undercurrent, about a year ago. Art is the only thing for which I have this amount of patience and focus πŸ˜‚ Full piece here: www.karenremsenart.com/shop/p/under... #mixedmediaart #mixedmedia

It's so satisfying to paint people. I feel, without a drop of cynicism, that we are beautiful creatures and a manifestation of the glory of nature. #painting #oilpainting #figurativeart (Reference photo from @howardlyonart.bsky.social)

Very proud that my painting "Sylvan" will be making an appearance in the @beautifulbizarre.bsky.social March 2025 edition. They are truly the best resource for imaginative realism by living artists! πŸ’š The link to preorder is in their bio 😘 #beautifulbizarre #imaginativerealism #mixedmediaart

Currently on my easel. Marker phase is done, just starting oil paint on top... #art #painting #floralart

In August 2023, I made a piece of art each day for 30 days – this is August 7 πŸ’› (available) #art #figurativeart

"Golden Kiss" - Oil and glass beads on panel. Making the different patterns with the beads was fun πŸ’› (Sold but prints are available)

Detail from "Lilies" - a new mixed media piece (oil and acrylic marker). Available :) #painting #mixedmediaart #floralart

A little more experimentation with acrylic markers and oil paint. My favorite part is her hand πŸ˜… #art #painting #figurativeart
