Lavender Field by Mountains, Provence, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
An expressionistic portrayal of the rich lavender fields of Provence, France by artist Janet Dyer. Rows of these fragrant flowers fill the expanse of land in the foreground, drawing the eyes towards the foot of a slope. A divide of trees and grass cut between the fields as blocks of emerald and amethyst hues expand to farther mountains. "I love the ranges of purple in the lavender fields, especially contrasted against the complementary yellows."

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.
