This week I'm highlighting a talented painter from my home city: Raleigh! She is currently the Regional Artist in Residence art Artspace, a multi-studio space and gallery in downtown Raleigh.
Janelle is inspired by the ethereal nature of birds, and started painting them as a daily warm up for painting.
She is also an accomplished portrait artist and I absolutely love her style! She seems to paint the features of her subject as they would be remembered in a daydream or a quick glance.
I love the way she paints the "eyes" of her subject. I feel that I'm looking into the eyes of someone real.
ReplyDeleteI love the birds!!! I love birds!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog and this post is so exciting because I live in Raleigh. I'll have to go check her out.
