Janet Dyer

Snow on Crescent Ave., Original Painting

2019

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer shows a stand of trees on a winter landscape. Earthy tones provide a contrast to the sheets of white. "I never know when I'll happen on something I want to paint," shares Janet. "This was something I saw while waiting at a red light." Her expressive approach captures the energy of the image rather than immediate representational details. Janet executes a buoyant sense of motion with subtle impasto 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.
