Artist Statement for Jan Jennings

A painting starts when I see something that is visually intriguing. The whole world is a canvas of images; the sunlight streaming through a window and dancing on the opposite wall; the shadow patterns the clouds make as they drift over the rolling Flint Hills; the pink hibiscus perfectly framing the yellow and white wild flowers in the distant field. The camera is my tool to capture the awe of these moments.

In the studio, I recall the emotion, the colors and the mood of the experience. Using the captured images, I sketch the basic shapes in dark neutral colors. I then add color in layers of glazing. I have used both oils and acrylics from the beginning. Acrylics are versatile and allow me to work quickly in the layering of paint without waiting for each layer to dry.

A completed painting often appears within my Mind's Eye. The dreamlike imagery that comes is symbolic, expressing deep visual tones within myself. Painting engages me in a oneness with the image. I enter a state of awareness in which the visuals are fully expressed and communicated.
