Multiple layers of paint were applied and then scraped through to create jagged inky lines. This piece comes ready to hang in a custom black wood frame.

After a flight back and forth across the country, Janine's exploration in her studio started with a playful mixing of colors directly on the canvas. A shape emerged in that process that she chose to repeat and then incorporate with a series of glazes. Stepping back and looking at the result, the image reminded her of those hours spent moving through the clouds to finally find herself back home.
About the Artist
Janine’s abstract artworks are created with measured doses of both intuition and analysis. “My work develops as a series of calls and responses,” she says. She adds color, letting gravity pull the paint around. She then responds to the direction of the composition with additional marks, adding and subtracting. The incorporation of recognizable forms, specifically letters and numbers, indicates the influences of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg on Janine’s work. Janine is also inspired by listening to jazz music. She is a musician herself, and plays in a local Zimbabwean marimba ensemble when she’s not painting.

Ethereal and strong washes of color cover the canvas, some spreading across the surface at an angle reminiscent of the last light of the day. Many areas of interest, with blocks of color, geometric shapes, textured paint, playful drawing and subtle reference to space. Created using multiple layers of opaque and transparent glazes. The title comes from a line in the song "Jimi Thing" from Dave Matthews...
