Grid Journal Inspired Abstract Series - Part 3 of 3

Today I'm finishing up the last of this 3-part series on the seven, 12"x12" abstract mixed media landscapes on cradled wood panels that were a birthday gift for my husband. The paintings are loosely based on a green, monochrome grid journal page that I made last week that gave me the idea for my color palette and the garden-inspiration.

I really love these! They’re very verdant and rich looking! 🔥

Thank you! ❤️

[@kathyfaraone4345]

Terrific! Love your voice overs - so engaging and illuminating.

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad you enjoy them - thank you! ❤️

[@amherst88]

All gorgeous Jackie and wonderful to watch -- *congratulations* on what they became -- I'm very glad what felt like a responsibility became enjoyable and a venture into new territory -- a gift for both of you :) On a different note I wanted to mention that, largely inspired by you, I got myself some fluorescent pink paint (!) -- I'm generally a 'green/blue/purple person' (and definitely *not* a red/pink person) but having watched you use the red I decided to have a go (& thought the pink has at least a bit of relation with the colors I love) -- I'm looking forward to using it & I'll let you know how it goes -- thanks as always for the continuing inspiration 💗💗💗

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much, Teri! Cheers to your fluorescent pink adventure!! Please keep me posted 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@pineconemediadesign]

I admire your risk-taking with the white- I did hold my breath. I am so stuck in the messy middle and I’m taking Deni Rayneau Art’s class on this right now but watching your fearless moves help a lot I too love green and gardens, so this is so inspiring for me Thank you. ❤❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Deni is wonderful! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

[@amandamarais8960]

Loved, loved, loved these videos! Thank you so much for being so generous with your expertise and wisdom :)

[@jackieschomburgart]

Aww, thanks so much! ❤️

[@Anjalifinearts]

I mostly enjoyed the 3rd part was very inspiring and will be waiting for more of your videos so helpful and so detailed 😊 watching from 🇨🇦 abstract is the most enjoyable work I really love it

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad! ❤️

[@shaunnalyons4436]

Okay my favorite one was #4 the one with the snake plant I believe. Just adore this one. Thanks Jackie loved watching all 3 videos 😍

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the series! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cynthiathomas262]

you've inspired me to keep adding layers to my current project. i had considered throwing it out; but i now see it as an opportunity to explore further. thanks for the inspiration.

[@jackieschomburgart]

I’m so glad to pass on some inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️

[@maggiemae6867]

These are stunning!!!!!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks Maggie! ❤️❤️❤️

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

What a beautiful series and wonderful gift. I already liked the upper right one (in this video) in part 1 and that hasn't changed, and the one next to it. They're both so natural and calming. But I think the charme is that the others (also beautiful) are so different, since they will hang together somehow I guess/hope? I would love to see how they end up on a wall, but maybe that's too private. Thank you for showing the proces Jackie, I enjoyed every minute!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Hi Mieke! I'll happily update you whenever he hangs them up ❤️

[@margueritefaugieres3693]

J'adore! Ces verts sont somptueux !

[@jackieschomburgart]

Merci! ❤️❤️❤️

[@patstats1]

Number 4 of the 6 is my favorite. The close-ups at the end showed the subtleties which I couldn’t see in the longshots. I ran that last segment back several times to ensure I could see the details. This 3-part video is most enjoyable. And inspiring. Please consider doing it again. I agree, it’s not art school which makes one an artist (it sure does help overcome imposter syndrome) but calling yourself an artist is only the motivational step. Making the art is the real defining act.

[@jackieschomburgart]

That’s very true! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Jennreb-Art]

Fantastic!

[@wendysanchez403]

Love love ❤️

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jaynedough130]

i saw you take the risk and reap the reward, hats off!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancystockmann3053]

I look forward to your videos every week. You have a whimsical yet sophisticated style. What a gift; he'll treasure them forever. I love them all but my favorite is what I call your floating bowl. I was a potter for over forty years so of course I see pots everywhere. Fantastic work Jackie❤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@user-vx6rv2wj1v]

Hey Jackie! Gardening is my passion & green is my absolute favorite color, so of course I thoroughly enjoyed watching this & love how all the pieces finished out. Great job & what a lovely gift! While watching your process I saw so many of my own garden elements appear, including my favorite Celadon Green Hostas! (I'd love to know how you mixed that lovely color?) Thanks so much for sharing.

[@pineconemediadesign]

Me too- love both those elements!

[@jackieschomburgart]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it - Thank you! I buy my celadon from Blick and/or use Titan Green Pale from Golden ❤️❤️❤️

[@puresunrays80]

At 28 minutes you used a black and grey store card to etch into the celedon. 😊

[@claregadsby8512]

i have so enjoyed watching this series take shape! so much learning and inspiration for me. of the 7 you showed us (even though you only picked 6!) my favourites are 3 (which was a fav from early on, when you said not all that much had changed in it ...) and 4 with the snake plant :) i'm sure your husband was absolutely thrilled with his gifts

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much for watching - I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@freshspiritworks4535]

This was a video I truly looked forward to and you did fantastic!!! I was hoping you'd record his reaction but can't have everything 😉 Every painting was awesome! It was well worth the wait!! Great videos. Jackie!! Linda H

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you so much, Linda! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mercuriesstars5763]

I was looking forward to the final video. Love this series and amazed you managed to get them finished in time. They are gorgeous and each unique. From the UK x

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much! ❤️🇬🇧❤️

[@lindadamon2453]

Jackie i loved warching this series so much. I think that celadon represents the light in the garden so well. The burning question has to be...did he love them? 🤞👋

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you so much, Linda! ❤️ And yes, he did 🥰

[@lindadamon2453]

And your commentary voice overs, i have to tell you, i mean someone should, THEY'RE FABULOUS 👌

[@shaunnalyons4436]

Great artist talk included in here. I’ve been a working artist for many years now but those early days were tough. All I wanted in the world was to be an artist all my life. So scared as I was I had several other careers instead. I mean I got an art degree at university but that DID NOT make me an artist. Although it helped. But those early days no years when I decided I was going to pursue art and make my living as a ceramic artist were often terrifying. I was not comfortable saying I was an artist for a long time and I had to read the artist’s way and do the work in there for months and months to even get close to the idea I could be an artist. All this to say Jackie does a great few minutes on this topic and it’s super supportive to everyone. As well as finishing her beautiful paintings. Thanks Jackie. 😍

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh wow! What a compliment! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@lesleynormanhartnell2070]

I like them all! 😊

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks Lesley! ❤️

[@peggylee5021]

Really enjoyed watching you paint this series. Every one of them is absolutely beautiful & your husband will love them!

[@christineeggert1607]

I love seeing your continuing process and am always impressed with the ideas that seem to come so quickly and easily to you! Beautiful works of art…and such a thoughtful gift for your husband! You each appear to share, and express, your individual passions with each other in meaningful ways! I love the works you do on cradle boards the most! Thank you!❤️. Chris

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much, Christine! ❤️❤️❤️

[@deannahall2032]

This series was so much fun to watch, Jackie!! You really created some gorgeous paintings, thank you so very much for your generosity in sharing with all of us your talent, heart and spirit! I'm certain your husband was blown away by these panels!! XOXOXOXO Deanna

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@consideredwhisper]

They are so fresh and verdant. I wonder where they are hanging now? What was your husband’s reaction, if it’s not too personal to ask ?

[@jackieschomburgart]

He was very happy with the paintings! ... and they are still on a shelf, waiting to be hung 🤦‍♀️

[@PaulWalesArt]

What can I say that hasn't already been said. This is an amazing series - one that I hope you're truly proud of. Woohoo!!!! 💚💛💚🧡💚💚💚

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you - I’m quite happy with them! ❤️ I forgot that green could look so fresh and joyful 🤗💚❤️

[@annrubino6252]

Beautiful work, Jackie and your commentary was excellent.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thank you Ann ❤️❤️❤️

[@Etta_Goodman]

I love them all but 6 was my favorite. Really love 3 and 4 also.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Thanks so much!

[@GrumpetteJV]

I LOVE this series! Thank you so much for sharing. 🖤

[@jackieschomburgart]

Glad you enjoyed it - I really loved making these ❤️❤️❤️

[@UtaK.68]

This series is wonderful, Jackie, thanks for sharing the whole process! 😍I just love the different shades of green and after watching all three videos, I see all sorts of things in your paintings, not only garden elements. I really like the third one (big green whale landing on the dark coast with the stripey lighthouse) and the snake plant garden (where a yellow boat flies in from the sky) is my favourite followed by the last one (where I can‘t stop seeing a reversed elephant foot with rain clouds over it.) 🤭

[@jackieschomburgart]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Uta! I totally see the elephant foot too! This series has certainly given me a new appreciation for greens 💚

[@erphilcox]

Great series. My favourite is the one you left out!

[@jackieschomburgart]

Haha! Thank you - I really like it too, just decided it was the least like the others ❤️❤️❤️

[@samstruys3088]

Such a nice series. I just went to your WebSite and found your favourite Art- Supplies. Well just the Sharpies that are less than 10 dollars for you for a box of 12 are for me at 10.95 Euros for 1!!!! Some items are 27 Dollars for you and 72 Euros for me. How crazy and this doesn‘t even include shipping. That‘s a let- down, I don‘t have much money either way but this would be crazy for me. I wonder why these items are so expensive here. Surely I buy other products that are made in the USA without them being 10x times the price. Do you guys pay this much for things coming from Belgium, where I live? Have a lovely day everyone…. 😊.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Ugh! How frustrating! I'm sorry! And yes, we do often pay a huge premium on some international goods as well. I WAY overpaid for some accordion sketchbooks from the UK, but I wanted to try them and couldn't find any here. Sometimes it's worth it. But paying $11 euros for 1 pencil is probably not. Try googling "grease pencil" and see if you can find a different brand close to home. ❤️

[@wendycoyne2899]

Wow, you always impress me, but these are wonderful (and I hate green!)

[@jackieschomburgart]

Oh thanks Wendy! I have a whole new appreciation for green after working through this series 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@CrowMadame]

please jackie..what paper do you use with the wet palette tray?

[@jackieschomburgart]

Hi! I use parchment paper on top of wet shop paper towels 🤗
