Bonjour, mes amis !
I’ve recently arrived back from a superb holiday in France. I booked a ‘little nest’ top-floor apartment with a view in a small Provençal village and settled in long enough to feel like a local.
I even got my paints out and came home with this sweet French peony watercolour you can take home with you if you wish (see below).
Join me at Garden & Arts Festival
Now I’m back and ready to mingle!
I’m exhibiting in the Bay of Plenty Garden & Arts Festival next Thursday to Sunday. Will you be going? I’d love you to come and visit me on the trail.
For four days I will be artist-in-residence at my friend Debby Sanders’ gorgeous garden at The Lakes. Featuring a variety of mature blossoming trees, her multi-roomed garden is lovingly tended and offers a discovery around each corner.
Debby Sander’s Garden with art exhibition by Jenny Coker - Buy tickets for Bay of Plenty Garden & Art Festival HERE
Please pop around the corner to her double garage and discover me!
I am bringing over 30 paintings and prints from my bursting art studio. You can expect to see an extended range of nest eggs, a flight of fancy into bird paintings, and classical and contemporary florals in watercolour and oil.
I’d love my paintings to be taken home by lovers of nature-inspired art, and I’ve kept my pricing modest to encourage this.
I’m of ‘an age’ where I am cleansing and simplifying and I don’t want to bring them home! So, if you have been thinking about buying a Jenny Coker original ‘one day’ – I don’t think you’ll have a better opportunity than this.
Also – just for fun – my large-scale Peony Cluster and Dahlia oil paintings have been reincarnated as stunning feature cushions. I love them. $150 for Euro-sized cushions. I’m taking orders by email and at G&A, so just email me if you’d like me to keep one aside for you. A great Christmas gift for garden and art lovers.
And for those of you who can’t make it to the festival, I haven’t forgotten you!
I’m giving my online community first dibs on six paintings from my Garden & Arts collection, before the festival opens.
If one catches your eye, just email me to make it yours. The paintings may still be on display at the festival, but they’ll have a SOLD sticker on them.
And if you haven’t got your Garden & Arts Festival pass yet, it’s not too late.
You can still buy tickets here.
Hope to see you there.
