Valdez Strata (Diptych), Janie Lockwood, 72″ x 36″, acrylic, $3800

Janie says of her work:

“My focus has been to emphasize the beauty of nature by simplifying and abstracting my subject. Whether it’s flowers, landscapes or skies. In doing this I hope to create a feeling of mystery and entice the viewer to feel involved with my work.”

Twilight Foothills, Janie Lockwood, 60″ x 26″, acrylic, $1800

Janie says of “Twilight Foothills” and her general style:

“I’ve divided the landscape into sections, representing the “sections” the land has been divided into. Sort of putting the lines from a map on a vertical surface.”
