On the Barn Door Original Watercolor Painting - SOLD
When a client commissions Janet to paint a watercolor portrait of his or her horse, the artist's first step is to go to the horse-boarding facility to take her own photographs. All the horse barns have a complement of dogs and cats roaming about. Everyone has their job; the cats are there to eat the mice, and the dogs are there to greet visitors. On the morning of Janet's visit, Tiki (who was actually a calico) was effortlessly balanced on a three-inch wide barn door where she was working very, very hard at doing what cats do best: dozing in the sun. The artist took one look at her emerald green eyes rimmed with black eyeliner and her quizzical expression and just knew she'd have to paint her.

On the Barn Door is a fairly monochromatic painting. Janet chose to limit the palette to bright and cheerful hues of yellow ochre and burnt sienna, with a bit of cerulean blue tucked in here and there in the shadows and white areas. It's painted in a looser style than many of her animal portraits. Image size: 9.5 x 11" Matted size: 16 x 20". Click pictures to see details.
Framing
The painting is matted in Moorman cinnamon suede over creamy white, with a 16 x 20 satin gold metal frame. If you don't like this matting, I'll be happy to cut new mats, in a plain off-white double mat, for no charge (as long as I still have the materials here).
