Fine Art, Fine Artist

Art is a way of life for me; I'm happiest creating and helping others to create.It is wonderful to firstly create a piece that pleases me and doubly so when some one likes it enough to purchase it so that they can appreciate it and see in it what has pleased me or even something completely different that pleases them. It is a magical process and I would like to share some of that magic by documenting some of the process. I currently have 3 artworks in process; a portrait commission, a large figurative study and a still life with a difference. I also sketch a lot- figures, portraits, objects, landscapes and anything that captures my artist's eye. And I teach; I have three regular classes in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia where I live. I like to write about art too. I'll be showing snippets of these images and writing about some of my processes and considerations in their creation in my following blogs. For now you can see some of my work at www.janethayes.com.au
