No that is what i call working complimentary colours, superb Janis
Janis Zroback replied
Welcome Josh…thank you so much…I think both the story and the subject matter, call for violent contrasts…I’m glad you like it.

John Fish
beautiful painting. I love everything about this, the brush strokes, the freedom, the expression, the movement, the vibrant colors, the textures in the watercolor. great work
Janis Zroback replied
What a wonderful compliment John!!...I am so pleased that it resonated with you, even with the snake in the grass…
I love to paint watercolour very free and loose, or wet and wild, but keeping full control throughout the whole process of painting…it’s a tug of war and dialogue going on between us all the time, but it’s also very exhilarating…thank you so much…

great colors…You hit a nerve of the sugar cane fields being burned….........ah the aroma…....
Janis Zroback replied
I wanted to give the essence of both stages in the life of the cane, and a litle bit of sinister stuff with the haiku poem I wrote…when I was growing up the cane cutters wore high rubber boots for that very reason…I also echoed a bit of that colour in the cane itself…glad you like it.
Note: I love to eat sugar cane too….
kjgordon
one of my favorites….............
Linda Callaghan
brilliant colours Janis – dont know how you manage to control those watercolours and get such vibrancy but you do! fab work
Janis Zroback replied
Just knowing when to let them go and when to stop….it’s a matter of knowing how it works…how much paint to put on the paper and how wet or dry to have the brushes….hard to explain without your being here to see a demo..
Glad you like it…thanks so much Linda…

Linda Callaghan
sounds confusing – I expect practice practice and practice would help me understand more…one day when retired I can play with my paints all day!! :-)
Janis Zroback replied
That’s exactly it…a lot of practice and keeping notes of what you did…
GEORGE SANDERSON
Such bold use of colour, the page is aflame !
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much George…I wanted to get the essence of the cane at different stages, and at a certain point they are burned…hence the orange colours…
sulaartist
Another great painting. I can relate to this one!!
Janis Zroback replied
I think we both can….I wrote the poem to add a bit of menace to the poem…thanks so much Sula…BTW…my writing pages also contain my stories about Trinidad…
