"Earth: A New Perspective"

Artist: Janice Bock

Medium: Mixed Media

Dimensions: 20 x 16

Artist Statement:  Take care of our Earth:  It's the only place we have to live.  Symbolizing an uplifting feeling, getting a new perspective of acceptance, love, gratitude and being nurtured by the clouds and the chilly air.  If you have a chance to do a hot air balloon ride you may experience the wonder of seeing that the earth below is really beautiful and worth taking care of.

Artist Bio: I paint in several mediums including watercolor, oil, pastel, and oil  My favorite is pastel which allows me to get my fingers right into the painting rather than being separated by a brush.  I love the use of color and I enjoy many different subjects including flowers, landscapes, seascapes, and abstracts.  Lately I have been putting figures into some of my paintings, which adds a new dimension to the craft.  I have been in many art shows over the last several years.
