If you have a huge appetite for colour you wont be disappointed or left wanting. The colours I use to complete my designs are vibrant and scream for attention. They jostle for position in the image, fighting against other colours present, trying to outdo their opponents. Life would be extremely dull without colour and I feel the same could be said about art in all its genres. A picture without colour is akin to a human without a heart.

Me and Trevor



Jsjcreations.com

We purchased Trevor for my son as a fifth birthday treat.  When choosing between the four available kittens on offer, I purposely looked for the one most like it`s mother as the mother was one of the most beautiful grey, short-haired tabbies I had ever seen.  She was small and of slim build, a confident, friendly cat that showed no hostility to us as strangers in her home, even though she was still being an active mother to her lovely little kittens.  Trevor, as he was to be named, appeared confidently inquisitive and happy to be handled by myself and my daughter.  We hadn`t taken my son because we wanted his new pet to be a complete surprise for him on his birthday.  The timings were right, and we were fortunate enough to be able to collect him on the actual day of my son`s birthday. 


Trevor has lived up to all expectations we had of him as a wonderful family pet.  He is loving, playful and home-loving.  His purr is the most demonstrative of his love for us and he uses it often to remind us.  He is now seven years old and a firmly committed member of our family.

One of Trevor`s favourite places to rest is on either my son or myself as we sit on the sofa.  It doesn`t matter what we may be doing, be it typing on the laptop, playing on a console, anything....if he wants to lie on us, then that is exactly what he will do.  This pic shows him lying on my chest as I lay on the sofa watching TV.  He climbs up as close as he can get to my face and slumbers.....

......Purring all the while!

Trevor can sometimes be a little feisty!  My son can vouch for that as he has occasionally been at the brunt of one of his attacks.  This usually happens when his requests have gone unheard or he is just in a grumpy cat mood! Either way, I have to remove him from the room as my son is a little nervous of what Trevor is capable of doing.  Trev has never turned on me so I tend to suspect a little rough play prior to my presence.  Needless to say, my son vehemently denies this!


Trev can sleep for hours!

When Little Man Hadley joined the family well-meaning friends and family said "He`ll get eaten alive by Trevor!" or "Trevor will kill the poor puppy"!  Luckily, for Hadley, neither has happened and the two pets live in toleration of each other.  They will never be best buddies and occasionally have the odd *stand-off*, but overall I am confident that neither has the wish to inflict any serious injury on each other - yet!  Hadley knows Trevor is in charge and on the whole respects that.  Although occasionally he gets a bit over excited and pokes his fluffy nose where it shouldn't be and receives a well-placed swipe from a paw full of claws! Ouch!
Recently, Trevor had to be taken to the vet as he had acquired two abscesses on his tail due to fighting.  There are a lot of cats in the vicinity and this is not the first time I have had to take him to be nursed back to health by the vet.  I took this photo as he sat timidly in the surgery pleading with his eyes to be taken home.  It was all a little traumatic for him but he was a brave soldier and did not bite the vet!

Eden

Jsjcreations.com
These images were sourced from some original artwork I designed for my soon-to-be delivered grand-daughter Eden.
I painted four canvasses, each with a different letter spelling her name.  I then adorned the canvasses with pretty girlie things like glitter and butterflies.  The artwork is now hung on the nursery wall awaiting her arrival.
I use my own art or photographs as a source for my mixed media artwork which means I have the rights over all the images produced.  It also means I do not have to be concerned about upsetting another artist by putting my own interpretation on their work.
If you are interested in buying prints of my artwork please contact me on jsgcreations@aol.com or view my website http://www.jsgcreations.snappages.com/ for prices. 
More of my artwork can be viewed on www.flickr.com/photos/jsgcreations - all images are available for sale in a huge variety of sizes and formats.
If it`s colour you love you can`t do better or wilder than the artworld of Jsj Creations.  I can also be contacted on http://www.jsjcreations.com/ or emailed at jan@jsjcreations.com

Colour Our World with Love and Happiness


- http://www.jsgcreations.snappages.com/


Big Ben as never seen before in a perfectly purple perspective!
One of the most exciting things about photo manipulation is being able to add striking and vibrant colourisations to photographs.  This photograph I took of the great London Eye tourist attraction has to be one of my favourite ever photos.  I was absolutely delighted to have captured it in all its splendour.

"A structure of magnificence and undeniable splendour
gracefully and silently dominating the London sky
with its grandeur and elevation;
Its circular movements perpetually governing
the capital`s skyline,
its fluidity of motion as smooth
as cascading tulip petals
falling softly to the ground;
automated and robust, a ferris wheel like no other
imitated by many,
emanating and provoking thoughts
and reactions of wonderment and joy"

For more examples of "London Eye" please see:

Both London photos can be purchased by contacting me on jsgcreations@aol.com
Many sizes available.

  • Developed and printed on top quality photographic paper.

  • In matt or gloss finish.

  • Poster size available.

      My youngest daughter`s wedding was a wonderful and emotional occasion for myself and my family.  She was marrying her Mr Wright and we couldn`t be happier for her.  The wedding took place in The Marriot County Hall, London last year.  The day was beautiful, as was my beloved daughter, and both will be eternally cherished.

      My Family, My World

      Jsjcreations.com
      This blog entry is a selfish one because it has given me much pleasure working with photographs of my nearest and dearest.
      This first photo is of the hotel that my daughter stayed in with her new hubby on their honeymoon.
      I think the hand-in-hand image symbolises and emphasises the true meaning of the overall image.


      A combination of two photographs created this amazing image of my youngest son.  Both photographs are two of my favourite shots and combining the two makes this image extra special to me.

      Stripes

      Jsjcreations.com



      There is something about stripes!

      Is it because in a world of imperfections, stripes seldom are imperfect
      If they are distorted in any way - they are no longer stripes
      When naming the prints in my "Stripes" Collection, I look at the finished image and use the first word that comes into my head.
      I love the simplicity and serenity of stripes. 
      Why not choose some prints from this collection of wonderfully abstract stripes - stripes that could never be repeated or emulated.
