Whenever I am asked to paint a commission portrait of a client’s horse or in this case horses, I am blessed. I enjoy the process of creation and was so happy to meet, photograph and paint Dakine and Devina for Jenny. After taking the photos I shared the very best of them with Jenny and she told me what she wanted to see in her finished painting. Color, expression and composition all came together in this painting called ‘Dakine and Devina’.Thank you Jenny! I am so grateful that you love your painting.

About Janet
" My guiding light as an artist is expressing the power, movement and sensitive nature of horses and other animals. So many of us know the beauty and love shared by us and the animals. It is an emotional kinship. I find great joy in creating a painting where the life and soul can be seen and felt not just by me, but the viewer as well.
In creating a piece I often combine engaging expressions in my subjects that evoke emotional curiosity along with dynamic energy, life and spirit circling within the composition. My paintings are first felt in my heart and are complete when the spirit of the piece arouse a feeling of intimate communication. My mission is to accurately portray the equine form, combined with color, inspired originality, infused with living essence.
I will continue to paint in oil with expressive brushwork, inspired by the vibrant animals that dance through my mind."
