Janette Jones Fine Art
O-038 Bright Garden by Janette Jones oil 30x40 $1200 3RD PLACE OPEN DIVISION AWARD |
The comments heard most often about her paintings are "they make me fell joyful", "lift my spirits", and "they are filled with a sense of light and lightness". As an artist who is constantly looking for the beauty of light in every subject, this is music to her ears. As a person who is wildly optimist about life an positive about the future, she is thrilled her paintings reflect this "joie de vivre" attitude and bring joy to her collector. Janette uses a strong sense of design, personal color mixes and an intimate point of view to create her distinct style.
Born in California and majored in art while attending California State University, and studied watercolor for five years with Virginia Jentoft in Davis, Ca. Her watercolor images were successfully marketed and licensed with Daisy Kingdom, Naturally, Springs Mills and Prints Plus (among others) between 1988-2002. She has been painting outdoors in oils after a workshop in 2003, hooked by the challenge of capturing the truth on canvas.
