Jennie's Art

During the past couple of years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Jennie Martin Tomlin.  She is the unofficial resident artist of Harrisburg, NC and her artwork is splattered all over the town. Especially government buildings like the town hall and library.
I have attended workshops and classes she has taught.  It is amazing how much I have learned from her, and have grown as an artist because of her influence.
She loves nature, flowers, and especially Trees!  She is a kindred spirit to me.

She was an Airforce wife as well,  so she has been able to give me a lot of advice in that area, as well.  She lived in Turkey for several years.  (I hope we are stationed overseas as a family, I think that would be a great experience.) Her website is :  http://www.jennietomlinartist.com/

The other day i bought a couple of prints of her artwork. 
I love her Koi fish painting....

 Her many paintings of trees are beautiful.  I love the fall foliage captured in this painting.
 The last two are cards with prints on them. I plan on saving up and buying the original of the purple iris.  It is simply magical.
