Kentucky Derby Oracle 2013 by Jen Ferguson, Amanda Ferguson

I collaborated with my sister, Amanda, on a art piece for the Jockey Club’s website “Followhorseracing.com” centered around the Kentucky Derby. I decided to make an oracle which highlighted the horses with their different qualities and illustrate each one with their markings. Here is the result! http://www.followhorseracing.com/en/the-latest/blogs/2013/04/28/kentucky-derby-the-contenders/I really love what Amanda came up with the text on the Tarot cards- they are spot on if you’ve followed the horses. I’m still not sure who will win, and one of the horses on the chart isn’t running (Govenor Charlie) but I could swear the painting of “It’s my LuckyDay” winked at me, though I was putting in late hours to finish the art and it could have just been that my eyes were bleary.

Dean Haspiel helped enormously with layouts and computer work- Thank you! There is a print of the oracle for sale online at ETSY; here is the link:

DUMBO ART FEST 2012

It’s that time of the year again! DUMBO Art Fest 2012 is happening next weekend, Sept 29/30 for open studios. I’ll be there with candy corn and some sort of beverages to share, so come on by and say hello. Feast your eyes on some very new work, as well as a bunch of never seen before gems from years past.

My studio is located right smack dab in the center of DUMBO, in the “peas and pickles” and gallery building at 55 Washington, 3rd floor. I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday, noon-6 pm.

See you there!

Also, Possum Paint Studio, my teaching program, is also having an open house too- which means there will be an art table and drawing supplies set up for any kids who wander in…
