Janet Dyer

Lone Tree IV, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer creates many variations of this same landscape scene, utilizing different color palettes and varying the number of details in each. In this iteration, Janet defines the tree trunks while blurring various greens and orange for the foliage and leaves. Thinly lining the water's edge, reflections appear on the water, creating a mirror image on the bottom half of the composition. "The farther away I get from the original, the freer the interpretation," says Janet.

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.
