Janet Dyer Art

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer paints white cottages dotting a soaring cliff. Calm waves crash below, faintly audible above the cool wind rustling the tall palm trees. Janet utilized a palette knife with layers of acrylic. The dark greenery creates a cool contrast to the blue of the ocean. "This was inspired by a TV show set in California."

About the Artist
Janet Dyer doesn’t like to spend too much time talking about her art, as she’d rather be creating it. She doesn’t have an artist statement, the traditional statement of purpose crafted by visual artists to explain their method. On becoming an artist, Janet simply states, “I picked up some crayons and pencils and brushes and kept using them.” She believes the process of creating art is equal in importance to the final product. The artist enjoys relinquishing control of her paintings to find delightful surprises in her so-called “mistakes.” Janet's expressively gestural yet bucolic landscapes are a testament to the success of her method.

Cliff Houses...

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer depicts a lush green garden accented with a lazy brook reflecting the trees and clear sky above. "The grounds of French chateaux are usually extremely manicured," says Janet. "With geometrically designed features like straight-edged canals, the manor residence shows its preference of the time for order and symmetry."

Artist Janet Dyer creates many variations of this same landscape scene, utilizing different media. In this gestural abstract iteration, Janet provides hints of the horizon and a tree with its reflection on the water, creating a mirror image on the bottom half of the composition. Bright pink and red perfectly balances the greens and turquoise. "The farther away I get from the original, the freer the interpretation," says Janet.
