Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer displays a magnificent view of a French vineyard. Rows of grapevines ripen under the radiant summer sun. A longère, a lengthy narrow farmhouse often seen in southern France, stands in the background, surrounded by trailing perennials and olive trees. Janet uses both a brush and a palette knife for dynamic paintwork application.

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.
