Welcome to my website!

My love of still life combined with my love of antique shops and flea markets have been my inspiration in creating many of these designs. I enjoy wandering through this type of shop and finding interesting objects to use in my paintings.

Having been a decorative painting teacher for many years - teaching at National Conventions, regional conventions and retreats, I am always concerned with what the student will gain from painting one of my packets. The majority of my packets are still life but occasionally I like to do a different type of design - mostly flowers.

All of these packets are done in acrylics with detailed instructions.

Join me for a “still life and more” adventure.

I am very excited to have my project " By the Seashore" in the August 2008 issue of PaintWorks Magazine. It is a tray with sand and sea shells and an unusual faux background. Hope you enjoy it.

I would like to share this excitement with you by putting several packets on a special sale. Check the Special Sale Category for this offer.

One of the highlights of the past year was having my own design on an ornament on the Library of Congress tree. If you are in Washington around the holidays, be sure to visit the Library of Congress and see the tree.

From time to time painted samples will be available for purchase. These painted items were designed by other decorative painters and have been painted by Janet.

Please visit often and see what is new.
