Janet Dyer

Lavender Farm, Provence, Original Painting

2021

Artist Comments
A lush expanse of lavender fields in Provence, France. Artist Janet Dyer depicts this countryside view with varying shades of violet perfectly balanced by the greens of the surrounding terrain. A softer abstracted view of trees and hills emerges in the distance. "I love doing aerial and semi-aerial views," shares Janet. "It started when I was spending a month in a painting workshop, staying on a hill in Assisi. I had a semi-aerial view of miles and miles of countryside."

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.
