Jennylynne Gragg

LAKEWOOD OAKS COUNTRY CLUB FEATURED ARTIST

communication and paintings a conversation.

In addition to her gallery venues, she takes commissions for pet portraits, gardens, flowers, and landscapes. She also creates from studies and photos of places she has traveled. Jennylynne has enhanced her skills with art education classes from the community college and with nationally known artists. Many wonderfully creative people have contributed to her passion for pastels and oils. Jennylynne and her husband, Michael, have lived in Lakewood with their pups since 2010. They enjoy all the amenities and love living on their cove with awesome lake views. She often paints throughout Lakewood, but her favorite spots are on her seawall and garden or gardens of friends. The Argyle Gallery will feature another talented Lakewood Artist, Jennylynne Gragg, during the months of September and October. Jennylynne became a full-time artist in 2006. She took a hiatus from art to care for her mother in 2010, and in 2015 resumed her craft with workshops and classes with national artists and daily painting. She focuses her art in oils and pastels, using a process that starts with transparent paint and builds the color out from there, using brush and palette knife techniques. Jennylynne feels painting en plein air enhances her studio work. She paints alla prima in the studio to carry on the feeling she achieves when painting en plein air. Jennylynne believes art is I hope to help people connect with the intimacies around us, and focus on the portraits of what many people miss when they wander through our world.

“To me, the intimate scenes of nature, the intricate beauty of flowers, the shimmer of water in its many forms, the patterns on trees, and the softness of an animal’s coat inspire me in my quest of art. I hope to help people connect with the intimacies around us, and focus on the portraits of what many people miss when they wander through our world. I paint what I love, what excites me, what soothes me, and hope that my viewers find a similar joy when they view my art.”

Please be sure to come up to the clubhouse and see another talented Lakewood artist display her creations. Take time for a cocktail and/or dinner in the Argyle for a unique and enjoyable evening.
