Several weeks ago, I was browsing through the ‘shop local’ section of Etsy and came across the work of Corvallis artist Jennifer Lommers. I was immediately drawn in by the rich, vibrant colors of her paintings and couldn’t resist purchasing a print. I was in such a rush to get my hands on it, I used the wrong Paypal account — oops! But, Jennifer is, in Etsy terms, “convo friendly” (some sellers are not, you’d be surprised…), so I dashed off a note explaining my mistake and she was very friendly and patient about the error, which delayed payment to her. 
Finally, a week or so later, I had my gorgeous print of two little birds “under the canopy of a thousand lights”. I’m now eyeing the print shown above, “Anita’s Poppies”.
Hmm, I think I will send a link to Mr. Wolf as a Christmas hint…
At Jennifer’s Etsy shop, she has a really nice range of items and prices. From original work to individual art cards, it’s a good possibility everyone will find something within their budget. I’m always so disappointed to find an artist whose work I love, only to discover I can’t afford a single thing they produce. Happily, that was not the case here!
I also found 2009 calendars at Jennifer’s blog — three styles, either birds, flowers, or landscapes. All lovely… how to choose?

I’ve been tempted by her stuff, too.
Yes, loooove her stuff. Just curious if she shows or displays anything locally, or just does the etsy shop?
I asked her if she had a studio in town or anything and she mentioned she’ll probably be looking for a place in the spring.
Looks like she might have items at the Art Center in Corvallis… check out more info here:

Beautiful!
Are you lazykate on Etsy?
Yep, that’s me. Me and my sad little shop with no yarn in it. ;-)
Thanks for the nice shout out! What a lovely surprise!
I do have a few things at the Arts Center. I also have a few originals in the Currents gallery in McMinnville. I’m afraid my studio plans have been a little delayed, and I probably won’t have a public place until Aug-Sept. I’m always happy to meet people for coffee, though, and bring any purchases (or thinking of purchasing purchases) along!
Kate – looking forward to more yarn! Hope to see some on Etsy soon. :-)
