Started a new lady at the beach. You know, because I have so much extra time on my hands with the 9 week old puppy. 😂🎨🐶💪 . . #art #paintinglife #workinprogress #oilpainting #beach #swimmer #strongwoman #strikeapose #openwaterswimming #seashore #oceanwaves #oceanart #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #artistsoninstagram #artlovers #instaart #eastcoastartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1H3JZ3H5lp/?igshid=8bkd2woh9zka

The rains have finally come! I'm feeling a bit Blueberry Truffle-y now. I really love the sky again since I moved back to the Martimes. It's constantly in motion and VAST! ☁☔🎨 . . #art #originalart #oilpainting #cloudsandcream #cloudporn #blueclouds #bluesky #deliciousart #natureart #artlovers #seashore #beaches #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #artistsoninstagram #instaart #artoftheday #summerart #interiordesign #canadianartist #novascotia https://www.instagram.com/p/B067WaOnors/?igshid=1cj7fj3sipiih

Finished up this one (12"×12" oil on canvas) but haven't settled on a name. Maybe "A Helping Hand" ? 🌊🎨👙👋 . . #art #figurativeart #swimming #swimsuits #seashore #wading #shallow #legs #lookatdemlegs #contemporaryart #women #bodies #artlovers #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #instaart #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #eastcoastvibes #ladies #canadianartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B04PZamHqvP/?igshid=1jof0g3t6mia5

When one of your best collectors gets a sneak peak of your Square Show entry the day before it gets hung and falls in love and her husband wants to buy it for their anniversary RIGHT AWAY, then you pull the piece for them and spend all night and morning painting a replacement for the show...*whew* Here's "A Second at the Surface, part 2" 😰🎨 Go give it a looksee at the @desbrisaymuseum along with the 100+ more amazing pieces by other artists! . . #art #artshow #galleryshow #oilpainting #swimming #swimmer #openwaterswimming #ocean #waves #bluesky #oceanart #greenwaves #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #artoftheday #artlovers #artistsoninstagram #canadianartist #summer #figurativeart #instaart #contemporaryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rz8IInzPh/?igshid=1f000u2iyckq

Ohmygawd it's been so long since I finished a #51fiercefemales painting!!! Ms. AOC has been languishing half finished on my table forEVER! It's been a busy summer what with commissions and shows and markets and kids visiting and...well, it's all good, but I miss my face time (heh heh) I'll get there :) . . #famousfaces #portraitpainting #fanart #aoc #alexandriaocasiocortez #oilpainting #artcollection #artlovers #woman #strongwomen #feminism #womensfaces #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #canadianartist #originalart #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0o9o2AH-Br/?igshid=1d466032j4vhi

Spent some quality time out at Peggy's Cove with our oldest daughter visiting from Chicago this weekend. The sky and rocks never fail to captivate me. (This is my Lighthouse Sky piece from there.) Funny, the water is usually my favorite subject, but at Peggy's Cove, it's always the last thing I see. I haven't even painted the water there yet! Soon. ☁🌊🎨💙 . . #painting #art #peggyscove #peggyscovelighthouse #novascotiaart #oilpainting #originalart #lighthouse #cloudporn #bluesky #artoftheday #artlovers #eastcoast #instaart #artistsoninstagram #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #contemporaryart #interiordesign #sky https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mU60WnrEh/?igshid=19vt4noski5rl

These ladies are waiting for their next home :) Couple of splashes will finalize this commission! It was so hot painting today, I just wanted to go hang with them irl with my kids at Fancy Lake! . . #art #commission #paintinglife #oilpainting #contemporaryart #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #instaart #summerart #originalart #swimmers #openwater #beach #ladies #lakeside #lakesideladies #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #swimcap #bathingcaps #eastcoastvibes #maritimemade #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jn0zinN_V/?igshid=1jojv56ekunja

This snorkling lady is my submission to the @desbrisaymuseum Square Show happening in August! I'm gonna tweak the water reflections after this layer dries a bit. I love oil paint, but things get mushy fast at the smaller detail scale. This one is 8"x8" on canvas panel. All the show submissions are the same size but they can be any topic or medium. I'm really looking forward to seeing what other artists are sending in! The show reception is August 15th, can't wait! All entries are up for sale and prices range from $50-150. Come and get 'em! . . #art #artshow #galleryshow #artbuyers #artcollectors #bridgewaterns #desbrisaymuseumns #novascotiaart #novascotiaartist #eastcoastlifestyle #snorkeling #swimming #ocean #sea #scuba #oceanart #summerart #jillcooperart #jillthirzacooper #instaart #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #waterlovers #woman #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B0XHH__Hp1T/?igshid=a38lb7uyt5g8

I've not been posting as much progress photos as I usually do, it's been a busy summer of commissions. In fact, I'm working on two different versions of the Lakeside Ladies at the same time!
