About Me
- Jean Spitzer
- Lately, I've been drawing from life, creating drawings, pastels and paintings that combine reality, imagination and experience, and represent my thoughts and feelings as much as external appearance.

You're back! I'm glad.
I like the grey--seems right with the facelessness and the floating.
Nice and dreamy!
I see tension, but it goes away when I cover up the hands.
It's lovely. I like the hands very much.
Very dreamy.
floating in a cloud/ 19th century
I like that feeling of floating, as if on a cloud.
Good to see that you're back!
At first this looked like a relaxed, passive pose, but then I started to see steely energy in it.
Welcome back!
This is like a dream, partly delineated and partly vague.
Woman Dreaming below is wonderful too.
AH is right about the hands. Hmmm. I don't see dreamy though. To me I feel like she's being born out of an egg. Is that crazy?
Thanks, all.
AH, now that you've said it, I definitely feel the tension in the hands.
Margaret, I like the "born out of an egg."
Total abandon and sensuality, wonderful execution .
I so love your paintings and drawings!
Also this picture is gorgeous.
I've had art on higher level in my school and am so fascinated by your talent.
Jean,
a great job!
with few tones you did everything!
This light is wonderful!
a hug!
Floating woman is certainly a positive take on it. But I can easily see it taking a negative spin, especially with the dark "colors". Very Good, JS.
Shades of grey - when they're well done you can project anything onto them. Love this one, J.
Nice :)
It's been awhile. Are you taking the summer off?
Thanks for the kind comments.
PA, it has been awhile. Hope to post again soon.
good
Oh, it's been a long time. Well, maybe not that long, just seems that way. I see your picture, the one above my dining table, every day. Trust you're well.
Thanks, AH. I have taken a prolonged break from blogging. I plan to start posting again soon, and, meanwhile, will start catching up on the blogs I follow.
I have been wondering about you - how you are - what you are up to.
I have some friends from here visiting Austin the month of November. Sigh. It makes me homesick, especially since November is such a nice month there.
Where are you??? I missed you
Hi, Shanna and Laura. I miss you, too. I've been on what's developed into an extended break from blogging. I've been drawing, and hope to start blogging again, soon.
