Breath of Life

Capturing light is Janet Reid Wilson’s lifelong passionate pursuit as a career artist. In her still life paintings, she enjoys creating work that transforms the ordinary into something transcendent. Her landscapes are inspired mostly by years of plein air painting in Muskoka, a lake district in Ontario, Canada. For several years Janet has followed the discipline of daily painting. This kind of direct, “wet on wet” technique gives a vibrant loose and spontaneous look. Janet has used some of these sketches as inspiration for larger works. She applies professional quality oil paint mostly with palette knives on personally prepared cradled wood panels.

Janet lives in a small village in Ontario, Canada. Her studio overlooks a small river and there are many wooded trails that provide inspiration and solace.
