The Wall...possibilities.
“The Wall”...is part of the Abstract, Graffiti, Journal and Altered Pages Collection....it conveys the possibilities within art…art which is not of the mainstream, and at the same time, the possibilities that art can bring to anyone whether we own it or create it…and since we’re still on the subject of layers, then the possibilities that there are in life itself…the ones we come up against everyday and we either ignore them or are too afraid to take hold and fly with them, telling ourselves “it’s impossible”...
Watercolour, Acrylic, Oil Pastels, Plaster….on an Altered Journal page…
I dwell in Possibility
A fairer House than Prose
More numerous of Windows
Superior…for Doors
Of Chambers as the Cedars
Impregnable of Eye
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky
Of Visitors…the fairest
For Occupation…This…
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise..Emily Dickenson
Listen to Somos Novios It’s Impossible....
Listen to It’s Impossible
It’s impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky, it’s just impossible
It’s impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it’s just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin’ through me?
Split the second that I never think of you? Oh, how impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin’ to the shore? It’s just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more? It’s just impossible
And tomorrow, shouldya ask me for the world, somehow I’d get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love—It’s just impossible
Not a direct translation of the song above, but just as beautiful…
Somos novios
Pues, los dos sentimos mutuo amor
profundo
Y con eso
Ya ganamos lo más grande
de este mundo
Nos amamos, nos besamos
Como novios, nos deseamos
Y hasta veces sin motivos,
sin razón
Nos enojamos
Somos novios
Mantenemos un cariño limpio y puro
Como todos
Procuramos el momento más oscuro

Janis Zroback
I go beyond expected to a world of possibilities
I never say I can’t and won’t accept negativity
I deal in worlds beyond the now and live in dreams that reel
I see the unexpected and know just how you feel
It’s what I’ve known for ages and thought all were the same
I thought that my acquaintances to be like me…untamed
I never knew that in my world was this amazing place
Where often times I knew the man even though he had no face
I see the unexpected or feel the truth is close
When most content themselves with fact I sometimes overdose
Upon the world outside the box I finally feel at home
With metaphysical fathoms that allow my dreams to roam
A Pisces can transend the worlds humans rarely see
It’s all a part of daily life when you finally believe
Come fly with me to distant lands or transgress time immortal
Into a world of mystery or deal with life aborted
Dare to live and step beyond the powers of the mind
You just may find that in your quest you leave this world behind..Susan Vegter
Alison Cornfor...
gorgeous! How do you get the letters to looks so textured… they aren’t rubber stamped by any chance are they?
Janis Zroback replied
Some of them are, some I have etched in and some written…so glad you like these Alison…

Janis Zroback replied
A wall of graffiti…Thank you T…lovely of you to say so…I gave you two versions of the song for your enjoyment today….of course I love Elvis best, though I also really like Bocelli…not keen on C.A. but she came along for the ride…
P.S. know what’s surreal? We’re all around the world typing…doesn’t it strike you as strange? MB’s words again…

Well you are off to a great day wahini…..........
this is very powerful…........
You may have to change your name to Midas….......everything you touch….....
Janis Zroback replied
I’m Janis Maria Francesca Zroback… a mouthful in itself, though the last one is from my husband….so maybe just Midas might be an option. :)))
Thank you KJ…
kjgordon
what a lovely name…..for a lovely wahini….......especially the …...Maria Francesca .............
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you KJ…I should have kept my maiden name…it’s much prettier, but those were the old days…
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you KJ…my dear beloved father gave me Janis Francesca, and at confirmation as we did in those long ago days, I chose Maria Goretti…but I don’t use the Goretti…nor the saint for that matter. :)))
blamo
if we were monkees typing that would be surreal .lol
Janis Zroback replied
Very funny T….I might be one for all you know…how do you know that it is really me you’re looking at?

Janis, this is a very powerful, interesting, vivid mural, fascinating in many way, specially after i took a long view at this art work.
It is possible……..lol
No sin razon asi de la realidad en algun lugar……..
Janis Zroback replied
As you’ve said…Not without reason, so in reality somewhere...I agree Rachel, “that everything is possible in the best of all possible worlds”, as Voltaire has said so eloquently…but it’s up to us to recognize when that when the right opportunities come along we should grasp them with both hands and not run away….I’m so pleased you like this series..as always, thank you so much for you lovely comments..
Jan Piller
This is beautiful Janis! I just did a photo shoot with my model in front of a grafitti wall – there’s something very enduring in grafitti walls – things that tell stories from everybody throughout a long period of time. Your painting reminds me of that. One of my fav’s of yours!
Janis Zroback replied
I’m happy you like this one Jan…graffiti has it’s place in the art world, and there are some great graffiti artists here in Canada…
P.S.I am looking forward to Nuit Blanche, coming up on Oct. 4th…
Van Cordle

Janis Zroback replied
Thank you Van…glad you love it…
Alison Pearce

Karin Taylor
this one IS FANTASTIC if i do say so myself Janis….
i am most impressed….i find it delightful….the layers…oo and i can practically
feel the texture without even touching it…!!!!
Janis Zroback replied
Glad you like it Karin….the texture is raised off the paper, so I was pleased that the photo was able to show a little of that…
robyn nuttall

Joanne Bradley
This is really special Janis! I am really liking this Graffiti series! I noticed you mentioned to Jan Piller about Nuit Blanche in Toronto and checked it out. Looks so interesting and I thought to myself, now why doesn’t Montreal do something like that? I googled it and found out in true Quebecois spirit they do and have expanded that night into a week long festifal called the Festival of Lights that takes place for a week in February, and celebrates many different types of art forms including culinary. Will be checking that out this year….
Janis Zroback replied
But February would be murder to have something outdoors….we have the one night all night with art installations everywhere and all art galleries, museums and university participating…the whole city is lit up and every one is out doors…graffiti is o.k. that night too.
I’m glad you like this series….
Solomon Walker
very creative piece! lovely!
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you Solomon…glad you like it…..
