Art, Jennifer Thomson, by the sea

 Jennifer began her painting career ten years ago when she gave up teaching art to paint full time. She has a keen following and her sell-out exhibitions typically open to a queue of eager buyers.
 Her success lies in her ability to observe the subtle, humorous moments in everyday life. She skilfully captures the personality of the places she paints as well as the characters she finds there.
Jennifer's work is influenced by the work of The Naïve Artists with their simple compositions and their use of bright colours.
I hope you enjoy looking at her originals, prints, cards, placemats and other gifts on her website. These are just a few of the paintings you can see there.

Art Jennifer Thomson

 

Art Sunday; Jennifer Thomson
Contemporary Scottish Artist

http://www.jenniferthomson.com/

Initially Jennifer trained at Edinburgh College of Art from 1987-1992. She followed that with a short period of teaching at Madras College, St Andrews, before dedicating her time to painting full time.

Her paintings can be described as todays ‘every day art’, they show days out, holidays and favourite tourist spots, all of which often feature her two young children. Her paintings have the ‘feel good factor, unpretentious, unsophisticated and honest.
Her work has been widely exhibited and some of her paintings are in the permanent collections of The City Arts Centre and The Royal Bank of Scotland. She has done commissions for organisations such as Scotrail, The Ladies Golf Union and Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, to name a few. Her cards are now sold in shops throughout Edinburgh including Jenners Department Store and The National Gallery of Scotland.
A happy artist in touch with the ordinary people of Scotland, a woman who has never forgotten her roots and is proud of her heritage and the landscape of her country.
