Jim Phillips
Gorgeous, I’m glad you identified that this was a new series, as I knew it didn’t fit with the others in the last series. I think I’m going to like this series very much, if this one is setting the standard. Fantasitc work Janis.
Janis Zroback replied
These last three are a subset of the previous group of larger portraits…if you remember I just started to paint portraits for the first time, at the end of July, but now I am removing some of the early ones, as this is closer to my normal style of using vivid and unusual colours etc.Thanks so much Jim…
Hidemi Tada
wonderful painting of you Janis.
Janis Zroback replied
Not quite me Hidemi…she is imaginary like my other portraits…thank you so much…
Ken Powers
Uh oh! I think I found a new favorite. The face plays excellently again the clothing and background. The slight obscuring of the eyes in shadow and the vibrance of the hair make this an exceptional piece. Very very nice.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Ken…I like knowing exactly why people favour one of my paintings and you always explain fully…very nice of you…I appreciate it…

Linda Callaghan
sophisticated and mysterious lady Janis, and of course she is beautiful….love everything about her…especially her style of clothing and her fabulous hair.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Linda…I am not sure where I am going with these portraits, but I guess I’ll find out one of these days…these are now the largest number of paintings I have done in any series, after my portfolio collection, and I am still interested in painting them…hmmm.. :))
Linda Callaghan
and we are still interested in seeing them Janis…they are all so different from each other, all with different stories, even though the same….(if you know what I mean)....it is good that you are enjoying painting them as much as we enjoy viewing them…
Janis Zroback replied
Thanks Linda..it’s nice to know that they are enjoyed…in terms of my carreer as an artist, I really don’t know where they are leading though….I’ll waiit a little longer to see where they go…
