Welcome to the website of oil painter Janelle Goodwin.
I have always been fascinated by the abundance of color and texture in nature. From the muted, elegant hues of winter to the blaze of color in autumn, nature nurtures us. I paint what I know, garnering material from faraway places I have visited and untouched local areas.
Using a limited palette of primary colors, the paint flows from my brush in translucent passages of color. Over these areas, go thick impasto, resulting in textural effects. My current body of work grew out of my impressions of the natural world. Appreciation of nature is embedded in all of us and therefore, our sense of wonder is profound and timeless.
