Jennifer Broschinsky, who occasionally comments in these parts, is a friend of mine and Anne’s. She’s also a painter of considerable talent who somehow manages to find time to create in between the demands of raising both a son and a comic-book-loving husband, as well as working a full-time job. A while back, Anne saw one of Jen’s works on her LiveJournal and fell head-over-heels in love with it. One quick ‘n’ easy financial transaction later, and my lovely girlfriend became the proud owner of her very first piece of genuine art. Here it is, just back from the frame-shop and ready for hanging:
Now, I must admit that what I know about art would maybe fill a metaphorical shot glass, but I think this is a very impressive piece. Anne is greatly pleased with how the frame turned out, and Jen, if you’re looking at this, we both hope you are as well. On behalf of The Girlfriend, thanks again for being willing to part with one of your children…
I have to warn everyone that this picture doesn’t do the piece justice. I had a hard time getting a picture that didn’t have a reflection in the glass. But I am very, very pleased with how the framing turned out and am thrilled to own such a fantastic piece of art. Thanks again, Jen.
Jen,
Beautiful piece.
My goal someday is to have every piece of art in my home be either something of my own doing, or by someone I personally know. (onesheets aside 🙂
Hey Cheno, maybe you’ll get lucky and be able to combine your art-owning goals by hanging one-sheets done by someone you know! 🙂
Thanks, Jason! And thanks, Anne and Cheno! 🙂
Wow, the frame really sets it off nicely! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the picture! I’m really glad it’s gone to an appreciative home. 🙂
Wow! This piece is really striking and beautiful. Congratulations to Anne and bravo to Jen.
