Janet Dyer

Going through Les Alpilles, Original Painting

2024

Artist Comments
The Alpilles, a small mountain range in Provence, France, inspired artist Janet Dyer. She captured the contrast between its shadowed mountainside and the bright sunlight on trees. With a palette knife and brush, Janet painted the scene with a loose, impressionistic style.

About the Artist
Artist Janet Dyer captures picturesque scenes from her travels in expressive and gestural landscapes. Her work reflects the changes brought on by the seasons, seizing the colors and mood and reinterpreting them into lively compositions. "I believe the process of creating art is equal in importance to the final product," says Janet. She started painting when she was nine and sold her first painting at thirteen at a country fair, where it won first prize. From ages eight to seventeen, she joined countless country fairs and relished seeing her works on display. Growing up in Ohio and Michigan influenced Janet's fascination with wide open spaces. Now living in New York State, she loves to travel whenever she gets the chance and finds inspiration everywhere she goes—particularly farms and France, and farms in France. "Luckily for me, landscapes are everywhere, so I'm spoiled for choice."
