Janet Secord – What Inspires Me

By Station Gallery 
on August 22, 2017
 with no comments

Many times as an artist I get stuck on subject matter to paint – and since I like to inspire , I in turn need  that one idea that jump starts my creative juices.

I can’t say I am a single minded person who only does certain material, but I always like to incorporate an inspirational overtone – I never do buildings – they are blah to me.

Since I paint on different mediums – canvas, wood, slate – actually any surface – I try to match the subject matter to the size of surface I have – this last while it has been slate – pieces off old barns – that was given to me by fellow artist Morris Young – and being that it is Canada’s 150th birthday celebration I have been concentrating on Canadian beauty. Repeats I do – because people love our birds, love our Maple Leaf, love our wildlife and natural beauty –  and in general feel the warmth of our country whether they live here or are visiting. That’s what inspires me .

Janet will be in the gallery next on August 25th!
