Path Toward Mountains, Provence, Original Painting

2024

Artist Comments
A path slopes upward toward the mountains in the French countryside. Spontaneous and bold strokes suggest movement among the foliage as if rustling with the wind. Artist Janet Dyer painted the piece with a brush and palette knife.

About the Artist
Artist Janet Dyer paints expressive and gestural landscapes inspired by her travels. Her work reflects the changes brought on by the seasons, seizing the colors and mood and reinterpreting them into lively compositions. "Luckily for me, landscapes are everywhere, so I'm spoiled for choice," says Janet. She started painting when she was nine and sold her first painting at thirteen at a county fair, where it won first prize. From ages eight to seventeen, she joined county 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.
