J. Collin Keys is an award winning artist whose collection of prints is sold nationally by retailers across the U.S., Oprah Winfrey and other collectors throughout the United States, Europe and Canada own her original watercolors.
To view a J. Collin Keys painting is to revel in color. Each line of a building and curve of a face is imbued with color contrasts of light and dark, rich and subtle.
Take, for instance, La Rive Gauche. A glance and you are transported to a classic sidewalk cafe, sipping espresso from a demitasse and discussing the day's sightseeing with friends. A Street in Italy evokes the feel of a stroll down a quaint Mediterranean alley, just as the streetlights twinkle on under a periwinkle sky.
Jeanie has lived in Virginia her whole life and travels to Europe frequently. Many of her street scenes are based on photographs she has taken abroad. Her still lifes are painted from scenes she arranges in her studio in Manassas. Many feature some of the pottery she has collected as an avid antique seeker.
Whether Jeanie's work speaks to you as a reminiscence or offers a window into a new world, we hope that you enjoy it. Regale in the splendor of her color.
