Jennifer Ross: Original Art in Pastel
My works are exclusively in soft pastel and are generally paintings of a moderate size but also include miniatures as well as, occasionally, one-twelfth scale versions for dollhouses.
The subjects that I portray reflect my interest in nature, animals, the rural environment in which I live and the complex, charming architecture of a more innocent time. I am particularly fascinated by the spontaneity and character of older villages and towns especially in the United Kingdom and Europe. My observation of fine detail is reflected clearly in my pastel interpretations.
I accept commissions and have portrayed many a beloved pet and cherished home. The observer will realize that every piece is a labour of loving appreciation. My paintings have been accepted for numerous juried art shows and examples of my works are in private collections in Britain, Australia, The United States and Canada.
