Red Tree and House, Original Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer pictures a house nestled within a thicket of trees. She paints in the style of expressionism with strong vigorous strokes. The autumnal scene shines brightly with warm red and orange hues. Janet quotes nature essayist, John Burroughs as inspiration:“How beautifully leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days!”

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.
