"When we speak of light we mean that enveloping,
radiating, diffusing something that transmutes
our everyday world into a liveable and beautiful place."

                                                   
John F. Carlson
Painting is a passion for me.  It is something I am driven to do.  As my work evolves or progresses, I strive to not overwork a painting and to keep it spontaneous.  I want the final work to be lively and impulsive; loose brushwork and color harmony can make that point.  If I have tediously rendered the subject, I feel that I am hitting the viewer over the head with it.  A tree can look more lively and natural with a few intuitive strokes of paint than if it were meticulously drawn making every leaf painfully apparent.

I have added four new works inspired from trips to Brazos Bend State Park in Texas to the southern Caribbean. You never know where you might find a scene worthy of a painting.

What do you think?  How do you feel about a landscape painting?  What draws you to an original work of art and touches you emotionally?

Drop me a line,

Janet
