Houses and Birches, Mahwah, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Janet Dyer illustrates a line of suburban houses on a warm autumn day in Mawha Township, New Jersey. Fiery shades of orange and scarlet beautifully dominate the towering trees and extend the entire terrain. "I love to paint birches, and I love periwinkle and orange, so I had fun with this painting," shares Janet. She paints with palette knives and brushes for 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.
