Jennifer Gennari is an incredible artist. Some people can just reach in and capture emotions (both animal and human) with paint. It’s amazing to me how much life there is to her paintings. LOOK AT THESE EYES. Much of her work is sold, but there are a few paintings still available (as I write this) – so be sure to check them out, you will be floored!
Her figures are just as fabulous as her animals. There is one in particular that is so classy, and the degree of difficulty (to me) seems immense. It’s called Study in Black and it’s an impressive 52×40″ – don’t miss it!
