These two images are actually one picture. Watercolor on yupo is fun and challenging. It is not easy to apply as much color as I would like to have in the painting, because of the nature of the yupo. The goal is to create a path of light on the rocks; to be effective, the rocks and perhaps the water should be darker. I like the rush and splash of the water.
About Marilyn Jacobson
Hi! I'm Marilyn. I'm the woman in the middle picture at the top of the page.
Life is such an adventure! Before retirement, I was a Social Worker in a cancer center. I had the priveledge of working with people in all conditions of life: birth, joy, sorrow, conflict, problem-solving, decision-making, end-of-life, reconciliation, hope.
After retirement, I discovered I have a talent for portrait painting! My goal as a portrait painter is capturing the personality of people and pets in paintings. I think I'm able to do this because of my Social Work experiences. I have painted many commissions of people and pets, usually from a photograph. If needed, two or more photographs can be combined into one painting. My pictures usually tell a story, or there's a story behind them....
And just for fun, I also create other art in addition to portraits. I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I enjoy creating them. Capture a special memory or occasion with a beautiful painting!
