Janet Moore, SCA

Each study I create while painting 'en plein air' has captured a moment in time, hoping to convey the emotions and atmosphere of the scene. Working quickly is necessary as conditions constantly change such as weather and sometimes the subject matter exiting the location. This causes a loose, quick brushstroke and creates an impressionist effect of the landscape. I love the connection with nature when the sun is shining but also enjoy the challenge of battling the elements on a wet and windy day.

En Plein Air

En Plein air simply means painting in the open air. It allows me to see colours that photographs can’t achieve. I am constantly surprised when I take a photo of a scene only to be disappointed by the outcome. The shadows are often a solid, flat black and lack the subtle colours I see reflecting while on location. With use of texture, colour and composition I strive to tell a story and convey emotion.

WTF? Why The Feather?

Inspired by my great grandfather and successful painter E. Darby Moore. 

The various designs within the graphics of my feather represent my numerous interests such as mountains, water and nature. The variegated linework represents biking roads, hiking trails and ski hills.
