Summer Journal /09.. Pg1
I started my latest Summer Journal today…as with all my other visual Journals, it will be a record of events, meals, painting experiments, parties, recipes etc…this is a large journal much like the others, and I am looking forward to filling it up with memories…Pg 1 is all about beer, a drink which is beloved in Canada and drunk here all year long, and it’s the first time I’ve ever painted it… ..summer’s here and the time is ripe as the saying goes…journal page subjects are casual and unstructured…I don’t fuss or fiddle with the paintings too much and I try to complete each in one sitting...
Watercolour on Proximage and Prat Journal Page..
“I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer,
the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter

this is terrific wahini….....right up my alley…...........
they look so real…....you are amazing….....now all you need is your own label….......
Janis Zroback replied
They are in my journal, and so just real enough to give you that summer feeling…in other words not too fussy right? M. loves beer too, but not the stout in the middle…he finds it too strong…re the label…well my cooking skills don’t quite extend to brewing as yet…

Anna D'Accione
Hey Janis, the beers look great but in Australia they would be classed as half full and be taken back to the person who ‘pulled’ it for a fill up.
Great work, Love them (not a beer drinker myself)

Now that’s what I call a journal! You really don’t need to go any further, do you? lol You are so clever Janis; that beer really looks rich, cold and inviting.

GEORGE SANDERSON
Brilliant, Janis !!!
in Britain they say “bottoms up” as they drink the beer !
My fieind and I once brewed about 40 pints of beer, but the pressure of the gas blew all the tops off the bottles and made a huge mess in the cupboard. what we did save was very tasty, but very strong.
Janis Zroback replied
That must have put an end to your brew pub George… :)) I’m glad you like the painting..thanks so much…
