About Art à la Carte and Jody O'Meara

Jody O’Meara began painting in watercolor sixteen years ago. She had no idea where that journey would take her. After spending time learning the basic techniques in Denver, where she has always lived, she began traveling the world with other artists applying those techniques to Plein Aire painting. In the beginning, Jody’s love of flowers gave her the perfect subject to paint. As she grew more confident in her work, other subjects began to capture her attention. Jody was excited to see what watercolor would do for anything from landscapes to still lifes, from people to pet portraits, from golf shoes to coffee mugs. She learned that watercolor brought a freshness and depth that could not be achieved in any other medium.

When Jody decided to produce a line of products based on her watercolor paintings, her goal was to bring products to the marketplace that evoked feelings of joy, comfort, love, and happiness. That is why she chose puppies for this year's focus. Puppies are one of life's great joys. They begin by completely disarming you. They make you smile. They love you unconditionally. They are loyal and will follow you everywhere. They will lie beside you when you're sick and lick the tears off your cheeks when you are sad. Jody's watercolor puppy designs are both fresh and timeless with a textural softness that makes you want to pet them. Jody has also created a pet sympathy card based on the poem "The Rainbow Bridge". It is the perfect card to comfort anyone who has lost a pet.
