"White Linen" Original Figurative Oil Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                       

 Who can resist the allure of white linen fabric! Linen has been traditionally used to make bedding, bath, and lightweight undergarments. The warm natural light falls across the front of her body onto the bed linens and pillows. When viewing this oil painting try to imagine what the woman must be thinking as she rests on the beautiful iron bed.

"Edith Ann" Original Figurative Oil Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                         

 Edith Ann is a beautiful young brunette whose wedding day was captured with a huge celebration and a fine oil painting as well! If beauty is all one needs for inspiration, I was given an easy task for this oil portrait! The drape of the fabric from which the wedding gown was made and the translucence of the white tulle veil were an opportunity to translate to the viewer the many colors of white!

"Muscadines" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                                       

A famous southern garden expert, Ryan Gainey, invited 3 of my plein air painter friends to paint in his private garden! When I heard about the invitation, I jumped for the opportunity, having only a few hours to prepare for the excursion. Chilly evenings had turned the grapevine foliage this golden hue! From the back of the garden one could see the back porch and vine covered Mr. Gainey's home. I chose this vantage point for my oil painting, Muscadines! Some days are just little bits of heaven; this was one of them.

"Life Is A Dance" Original Acrylic Abstract Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                            

 When I hear the word, dance, a wonderful poem about dancing with God comes to mind. Even on cloudy days, light dances from one area to another in the landscape; When painting " en plein air" the artist has to draw on memory to record what drew him to the subject before the light danced away!

"Eternal Optimist" Original Acrylic Abstract Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                 

 The color orange symbolizes optimism which I have often been accused of. As one who paints abstractly, my vision for Eternal Optimist was to create movement with interlocking shapes and beautiful color choices.

"Catching The Light" Original Still Life Floral Oil Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                        

 As I painted this floral oil painting in my studio, the light coming from the window stayed consistent until the end. Often, a light source will change dramatically, challenging the artist in that he must remember the initial inspiration for the painting. For me, so often it is the way light falls across the subject matter! Such is the joy and challenge of painting from life. Hydrangea is a southern flowering bush that brings me great joy in my garden from mid spring through late June!

"Ancient Aqueduct" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                             


 Walking through the modern city of Rome,Italy, one will come across these monumental arched structures that often cross streets and avenues. Sometimes these arches are doubled and often ornately decorated.The aqueducts were and are a means of carrying water to and from the city to its residents and commercial sites. I am reminded that Americans often choose to tear down to build up, losing historic architectural treasures. For most preservation of history is the appeal of European travel! Painting in watercolor my interpretation of this marvelous feat of engineering, Ancient Aqueduct is my way of preserving history, my history, and your history as well!

"When Lightning Strikes" Original Abstract Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                   

One of my goals as an abstract painter, is to create a pleasing composition no matter how you rotate the canvas. A vertical can become a wonderful horizontal etc. The darks and lights in When Lightning Strikes remind me of bolts of lightning; at the same time the painting has a feeling of serenity!

"My Turn" Original Oil Bird and Cage Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                           


Birds circle the air in the spring and summer waiting to sample the menu at the birdfeeder in this painting. I love to watch this activity as I work at my kitchen window! I manage to slowly raise the window being careful not to startle the birds by snapping photographs of them before they fly away! In this small oil painting on canvas board, the bird at the top of the painting is waiting patiently for his turn to feed!

"Passages" Original Acrylic Abstract Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                               


 Passages describes movement through time and space! To some, this painting could be describing a city landscape at night or at dawn. The viewer of an abstract painting makes up his own story about the artwork. In the act of painting, a canvas takes on a life of it's own. There is a zone where the artist becomes unaware of her surroundings and paints free of rules and restrictions!

"Counterbalance" Original Still Life Floral Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                             

  When I created the still life of calla lilies in my art studio, I was pleased with the arrangement of the lilies but knew I had to have some feature in the acrylic painting to counterbalance the natural orientation of flowers whose stem is unable to hold them upright! The yellow satin ribbon adds to the playfulness of the arrangement!

"The Evolved Soul" Original Acrylic Abstract Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                 

 The color turquoise symbolizes calmness and new growth. For this reason, nurses often choose the color aquamarine, a form of the color turquoise, for their smocks. Turquoise comes from the French for "Turk". My painting, The Evolved Soul uses the color, turquoise, as unifying agent.

"Guilding The Lily II" Original Watercolor Floral Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                                


 Water lilies are aquatic plants which are rooted in soil but have leaves and flowers that float on the water's surface. Don't you think my painting of water lilies rivals those of Claude Monet! The loose technique while applying the paint used in this watercolor painting is what gives it an abstract feeling. Guilding the Lily II and Guilding the Lily I make excellent companions when hung side by side or one over the other!

"Backyard Snow" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                     

In the south, the snowflake is a rare occurence. We hope for a glimpse of this blanket of white especially if we have lived in the mountains of North Carolina and have enjoyed the beauty of a snowfall often during our childhood. Just last year I was able to describe this view outside my art studio on watercolor paper. This particular painting was done from early morning light.

"Montalcino" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                         

 Montalcino, Italy is a small city whose ancestors stubbornly resisted the Germans during World War II. The regions farmers made wine for centuries. I spotted the man in the orange shirt on a sunny afternoon outside the winery! Sometimes, it is merely a spot of color or the gesture of a figure that makes me want to paint!

"Brugge Canal-1" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

                                        




Brugge, Belgium is a historic port city of northwest Belgium. Brugge is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North". At one time this beautiful city was "the chief commercial city" of the world. Having the fortune of visiting Brugge on two different occasions, I am drawn to the charm buildings that stand along the edges of the canals. Each has it's own texture, developed over the years by weather and time. I hope to capture the patina of the surface of the buildings with the medium of watercolor. I highly recommend a trip to this beautiful area of the world.

"A Stroll Along the Groeneri" Original Watercolor Landscape by Deanna Jaugstetter

Walking alongside the canals in Brugge, Belgium is a delightful excursion. Market Square is where you will find the famous chocolates, exquisite laces, and woven tapestries for sale. Lunch around Market Square is well worth taking in especially if you happen to be seated by the window looking out on the awesome architectural sites. I have always been a sucker for cobblestone streets; maybe it is my country roots! A Stroll Along the Groeneri is a watercolor painting of tourists and Brugge citizens enjoying a stroll beside the canal, while tourists row by in the little boats with famous Belgian chocolates in their packages.!

"The Siena Experience" Original Watercolor Landscape by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

Siena,Italy is surrounded by wine yards and olive groves, is spread out over three hills in the center of Tuscany.Its picturesque houses and small streets wind up to the charming Piazza del Campo. Restaurant, Osteria Le Logge, formerly an old phamacia is the setting for this watercolor painting. Dining tables are set up outside the entry walls of the stone structure and sophisticated waiters and waitresses relay the fare. The vision of a delectable dessert is embedding in my memory; a puff pastry with whipped cream and custard! Somehow, food never tastes as good indoors as it does in the open air, don't you agree!!

"Sargent" Original Watercolor Figurative Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

John Singer Sargent was a brilliant watercolorist whose artwork I admire! An old black and white photo of Sargent inspired this watercolor painting of Sargent enjoying a plein air outing.My plein air painting associates are grateful for Georgia's warm days that make the plein air experience more enticing than painting in the studio. Regularly painting the figure from life has increased my knowledge of line and form.

"Dining In Calcatta" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

Calcatta, Italy, is little known to most tourists as an ancient town built on volcanic cliffs in the 1500's. Calcatta was once condemned by the Italian government in the 1930's but is now considered as one of the grooviest towns in the area surrounding Rome. After being told that Calcatta existed, my husband and 4 friends hired a driver out of Rome, Italy to drive us to this jewel of a place high above the trees! To the delight of our ears, as we entered the town through a stairway of masonry of stone, we heard "Ave Maria", being sung by an Italian gentleman in the tiny church there! Dining in Calcatta ,a watercolor, is a glimpse of such a fascinating place!

"Comaraderie" Original Watercolor Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

Comaraderie is about relationship between old friends in Italy. Spending the afternoon beneath the trees, watching passerbys is not often enjoyed by most U.S. citizens. Because I was charmed by witnessed these men's sharing of their time, I wanted to record the moment in a watercolor painting.

"Flag of Italy" Original Watercolor Landscape Painting by Georgia Artist Deanna Jaugstetter

While riding on the streets of Rome, Italy, I spotted the blazing color of the tree , and the colorful flag flying outside what may have been a bedroom window. This is the way many Roman city residents have their being. Something makes me think that inside these walls there is celebration, laughter, and good food to be enjoyed! What story do you hear being told in this watercolor painting?

As an artist, I am always looking for contrast; shadows give me what I am looking for! In addition to loving this old structure, the play of light is a painters dream! The inspiration for "Morning Shadows" came from childhood experiences such as playing in the midst of a huge field of grass, lying on the ground making images out of clouds, and trees awash with color in the autumn of the year.
