Olive Trees by Building, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Olive trees flourish outside a building in Provence, France, and take on their autumn tones. The surrounding foliage forms a natural frame and highlights the red-brick hue of the structure. The use of a complementary palette gives warmth and vitality to the scene. The subtle impasto technique adds a tactile quality to the piece.

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."
