Mixed media – archival black ink, acrylic, collage – paper painted, mono & screen-printed, drawing, photo; screen-printed cotton fabric, carpet material; on canvas. Work exhibited in the Visual Arts Association Group Exhibition ‘Four Seasons’, held Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld. / Theme – ‘The Four Seasons’ by Vivaldi Background: I had working individually on art compositions relative to my passion to interpret music, rhythm/movement and energy through the use of formal visual art elements ie. line, colour, tone, shape, texture and art media. The interpretation requires one’s senses to hear and feel, absorb sound and energies, to internalize and contemplate, as apposed to recording information seen/perceived through the eyes from the physical ‘outer’ world. One has to create and interpret a visionary abstract, from a pure transitional and spiritual sensual state, from one’s own internal environment, of knowledge, understanding and experience. I jumped at the chance when this exhibition theme came up. Also I am much inspired by Kandinsky and his work, a long time favourite art philosopher and mentor. ....................................... /
/ From the Series-The Trees-Autumn... Watercolour on Hot Pressed Arches…. TOP TEN WINNER IN THE CALENDAR CHALLENGE / TOP TEN WINNER IN THE TREES CHALLENGE / TOP TEN WINNER IN THE AUTUMN CHALLENGE / TOP TEN WINNER IN THE INSPIRED ART CHALLENGE / FEATURED IN CHANGING LEAVES / FEATURED IN FIRST THINGS / FEATURED IN ART FOR THE WORLD / FEATURED IN CREATIVE CARDS / FEATURED IN JUST WATERCOLOURS / FEATURED IN INSPIRED ART / FEATURED IN IMPRESSIONIST ART / Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, / Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; / Conspiring with him how to load and bless / With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; / To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, / And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; / To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells / With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, / And still more, later flowers for the bees, / Until they think warm days will never cease, / For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells...John Keats.
/ “Winter Walk” is part of the Series “The Trees”, and is a reflection of Canadian winter in Ontario… Watercolour on Arches Paper…. “There is nothing here except the constant, looping clicks and caws of birds, lost in trees erased by white. / My sight condensed by each fresh, foggy breath, a hanging depth my head sinks through. / Nothing here but mulching steps, the soft snap of twigs long soaking, the sticky sound of car tire on wet road. / I am drenched by a sudden gang-up of water, a brief yawn of thunder far away. / There is nothing here and I am all wet.” ….John Goss. “Fog” / /
/ “Yesterday” is part of the Winter Collection..see more below.. Watercolour on Arches Not Paper… The sun rose on fields / snow blown and misted / ghostly swirls and dervishes. / No fog this.. / for fog simply lies. / No…this was living / as it arched and twisted, / fingering out to the road / and reaching for me / like the shade of a beloved friend. / There was white inside, / trying to seep out of pores, / I felt it strain / trying to mesh and meld / with this sentient wraith / fingers touching / joining / and suddenly / I am the morning mist / dancing in the crystal air...Poetry Road.. / / / / /
/ The Nothing That Is” is part of the Winter collection…this is a complicated thought…Winter is indeed something, as we know here in the North…most people would say that Winter is white, but in the city we have the reflections of all the colour in the buildings and lights that the snow reflects…but most of all the joys of winter, I think, should be portrayed in brilliant colour…the stark white of the birches pop against the blues and purples, and there is a little green and gold to remind us that the earth is still alive underneath. / In the face of all that winter is, Man himself becomes “Nothing” and “Beholds Nothing that is not there, and sees the Nothing that is”... Watercolour on Arches Paper…. One must have a mind of winter / To regard the frost and the boughs / Of the pine-trees crusted with snow / And have been cold a long time, / To behold the junipers shagged with ice, / The spruces rough in the distant glitter / Of the January sun; and not to think / Of any misery in the sound of the wind, / In the sound of a few leaves, / Which is the sound of the land / Full of the same wind / That is blowing in the same bare place. / For the listener, who listens in the snow, / And, nothing himself, beholds / Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is ..Wallace Stevens / /
/ “Fandango” is part of the new Collection “Tropics”.. the coconut tree in hot colours, temperature and mood, close-up…inspired by the Latin Dance the Fandango, with music by the Gypsy Kings… Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Paper… Dance a light fandango / Take me ‘round and ‘round / Dance a light fandango / Never let me down Steve Miller Band Gypsy KIngs Baila Me (I danced) / Fandango (The Dance).. /

/ “Still Life with Wellingtons” is another of my larger works that I promised to start adding to my RB gallery…just finished today, it has all the components of my favourite style of painting; lots of texture, trompe l’oeil, and a touch of surrealism in the subject matter…the shiny boots contrast nicely with the rough wood and the rusty nail….it will fit in perfectly with the Spring Fever collection, but really belongs with the Portfolio collection…the whole is totally imagined…I created the wood panel as I went along and it was such fun, I had to restrain myself from adding more knots…I found Elizabeth Bishop’s words to be truly an inspiring accompaniment to the painting”... Watercolour on Saunders Waterford Rough paper… “It was cold and windy, scarcely the day / to take a walk on that long beach / Everything was withdrawn as far as possible, / indrawn: the tide far out, the ocean shrunken, / seabirds in ones or twos. / The rackety, icy, offshore wind / numbed our faces on one side; / disrupted the formation / of a lone flight of Canada geese; / and blew back the low, inaudible rollers / in upright, steely mist.” Elizabeth Bishop, The End of March / The Sap Bucket

The beauty of color in Autumn. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter, around late September in the United Kingdom. Night becomes visually noticeably ,the cold felt with a strong need not be alone. The leaves fall of the tree and leave them bare and alone. This is part of my autumn theme. / Location: Warwick Park area of Tunbridge Wells – Kent UK

Late October…it had been a cold summer and we hardly hoped for any fruit, but the old stone wall had been kind as in years past, keeping the warmth of the sun in it’s bones, so that the pears grew fat and juicy, hanging so low, we had to tie them to prevent them from falling…then suddenly it was winter and we ran to gather them in…visons of pear jams, compotes and chutneys urged us to hurry before a frost set in…they felt good in the hand, plump and juicy….stored in the root cellar, they will take us through to spring...excerpt…The Old Pear Tree..Janis Zroback Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Pears and Lace
Wrap them well…wrap them in lace.. / These delicate fruits of mother nature’s bounty… / Coddle them in secret, soft and silky.. / Lest in the darkness they bruise and blacken… / Throughout the chill season, unwrap them gently, / Savor their goodness, slowly, so slowly, / The first bite is best, but the last just as good. / Still in the dark feast on the goodness.. / Oh what pleasures we take for our own! ...Janis Negative Painting in Watercolour on Arches Hot Pressed Paper / Espalier
“As autumn returns to earth’s northern hemisphere, / and day and night are briefly, / but perfectly, / balanced at the equinox, / may we remember anew how fragile life is — / human life, surely, / but also the lives of all other creatures, / trees and plants, / waters and winds. May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest, / may earth’s weather turn kinder, / may there be enough food for all creatures, / may the diminishing light in our daytime skies / be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance / in our hearts.”....Kathleen Jenks, Autumn Lore Watercolour on Arches Not Paper
