Hello! I am delighted to invite you to my Artist Talk at the library on Friday, March 27, 7 pm. If you have ever wondered where my ideas come from for art, or who I am..., please come along. There will be some giveaways, too. I look forward to seeing you :) Oh, and while there, take a look around the library at all of the artwork hanging on the walls. I hope you like it.

For all of you in the qathet/Powell River area this weekend, August 24 and 25 is the Studio Tour. I'll be with 7 other artists at Cranberry Seniors Centre, and hope to see you there 10 - 4 pm. I'll have my new creations including this one hot off the easel - "Wild Thing!" This red fox was at the top of that scary highway that winds up the hill from Bella Coola into the Chilcotins. Thanks for your support! :)

Here's my latest blog post on the Artists' Journey. Also visible at my website for art, janetandjanet.ca. I hope you like it :)

Having been rejected for a funding request, I moved ahead anyway with my ideas and artist career.

A short while ago, my husband came home from a coffee morning and said he needed to find a document to help his friend chair a meeting. My husband's a very busy man, so I offered to take a look for him. My first venture into Google came up with a page of possible sites, but on further exploration, none of them really talked about the way I like to chair a meeting....

Chairing a meeting can be enjoyable for everyone. Let all attendees participate and work together for a successful participatory leadership experience.

I have two paintings in these online exhibitions, one for the Art Under Lockdown and one for the Intertidal Zone.

Artique Artists' Cooperative art gallery is open again. We've had a whole week at practicing the sanitizing procedure and keeping physical distance from customers. So, come on in and have a look around...we may have just the thing you are looking for!
Located next door to Ecossentials on Alberni Street, Wednesday through Saturday 11 am to 4 pm.

All of the artists at ARTIQUE missed seeing you these past 2 months and are eager to re-open Powell River's oldest co-operative art gallery!

For the safety of our customers and staff we will be following the guidelines of the B.C. Centre of Disease Control. The guidelines include social distancing at all times in the store and a limit to the number of customers in the store at one time. We will also be frequently cleaning the touch points in Artique and have a hand sanitizing station upon entry.

We will re-open on Wednesday May 27th from 11 am to 4 pm. Our schedule will be 4 days a week from Wednesday to Saturday until further notice.

Come in to check out our new work and say HI to some old friends!

"Living on the Edge" 12 x 36 inches, acrylic on canvas.
Back in the winter, we had a tremendously stormy day out here on the coast, and the waves were wild. They weren't particularly large, but they crested and crashed, and if it wasn't for the wind making my eyes blurry, I would have stood watching for hours.
This is a compilation of different scenes, put together to create an intertidal zone reminiscent of the west coast of British Columbia.
Definitely click on the picture to open it up, as it is a long and skinny painting.

Artique is currently closed to regular traffic, and so one of our artists has taken photographs of each artist's work and posted them to the Artique page. Here is the section about my work.
Even though the gallery is closed, I continue to paint and my art is available for sale. If you are interested in asking anything about my art, or perhaps interested in purchasing any of it, please PM me and I will respond.
And, just so you know, although about six pieces are shown here, I have about 30 more and add a new piece monthly.
Thank you :)

"Heading Home" is 28" x 22" acrylic on canvas. It is my latest painting and is currently in the window at Artique Artists Cooperative in Powell River.
