NIGHT IN THE GARDEN: HIDDEN WORLDS
Paintings by Janet Wold


What attracted us to Janet and made us want to show her was the lushness of her images. Paintings of jungles and gardens are thick with all manner of plants and creatures. Meditative and serene, you can spend hours on safari hunting for the hidden bugs and creatures hiding amongst the foliage.

Janet describes her process like this: "I paint and sculpt mainly from my imagination. I create a story in my mind, and then I try and create it on canvas or in clay."

The other thing that we really enjoy is that Janet breaks the norm and deliberately composes on interestingly shaped canvases: narrow vertical or horizontal rectangles. This can create wonderfully alive compositions. Another bonus is that these paintings can fit perfectly into any home with an odd narrow wall between, say, a couple of doors or a tight corner. Join us and see the world that comes from this beautiful imagination!

Corner Studio and Gallery and Janet Wold Art present their first group show of the season.

The new March Show is appropriately titled, “Spring” with the show emphasis on the return of our favorite birds. The show will feature songbirds, lovebirds, small pond & field birds, and backyard squawkers. With more then 25 regional artists participating, the mediums and styles run the gauntlet. There are paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolors, as well as mono prints, hand colored etchings, and encaustics. For those who love 3 dimensional works, there are sculptures of birds in enamel, wire & glass nests, ceramic mixed media forms, and various birdhouses. We have jewelry artists in the show who have created special pieces for the spring theme: welded metal nests and winged pendants /pins, miniature wire nests filled with pearls and beads, necklaces and rings, and creations in natural stones, minerals and gems in bird designs and spring colors. There will also be beautiful cards, yard art, miniature birds and Janet’s little peckers.



The show opens March 9th, and will run through April 6th.

Happy Holidays Everybody
I hope your year was a good one, with more ups then downs. My year was mostly favorable, and I did learn a few things.
We only have one week left until the first of winter, and the beginning of longer days. I don't mind winter, but I do hate that it gets dark so early. I think 7PM year around would be nice.
I will be staying on at the downtown Everett studio and gallery, though my hours will change. I plan to continue working in the studio, but my OPEN TO THE PUBLIC hours will be greatly reduces. I hope to find the right mix of work time, retail time, and fun time.
Wishing you all a creative new year and a fun and safe holiday season.
Janet

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

Hello Art Friends
For my one year anniversary at the Corner Studio and Gallery, I have decided to do a benefit for two well deserving Animal Charities. I present the Dogs Days of Summer show, and hope the weather will cooperate.

Dogs, cats, horses & pigs will be featured for this end of summer show. The painting will be hung Paris Salon style, which basically means floor to ceiling and wall to wall. I have rounded up all my animal paintings, along with my private collection and offering them at below value prices to the public September 10th - October 7th.
50% of every animal painting will go to animal charity. I have picked 2 groups that go above and beyond, but I am glad to donate to your favorite animal charity with your purchase. Happy Paws Farm in Arlington (no kill shelter) loves and houses hard to place dogs (many Katrina Rescues) and now have a new shelter to save feral cats. Homeward Pets of Woodinville (no kill shelter) nurses, loves and shelters cats & dogs, while finding them good homes. If animal art is not your thing, I have many other non animal art pieces in the gallery to choose from (my paintings, jewelry and sculpture).
Opening reception is this coming Saturday, September 18th, 4 -7 during Art Walk, and I will also have a dog friendly reception on Thursday, September 30th, 4- 7 PM

Pain in the Neck

Hello Friends
It looks like my pain in the neck maybe a bit more serious then a few vicodan and a ice pack. I tried a week long massive dose of steroids, and while they reduced the pain a bit the numbness and electrical jolts have gotten worse by the day. The pain drugs, don't touch it and I have tried more then a few kinds. I have given up on that kind of relief. I had a MRI today and then a visit with Dr. Klein. He gave me some options and I choose surgery which seemed to have the best percentage of a full recovery. I decided to have the surgery ASAP. I need sleep and a month of a numb hand has been enough. So, Monday morning at 530AM, I will be going in for prep and a 730 operation, which includes a little bone clean up and a metal thingamajig hooked to my neck bones to help stabilize the area and keep the new space form collapsing. Giving those nerve a chance to live happily every after. It will be a while before I get into the art gallery, as driving is a no no. A range of motion problem, but only for 10 days. I feel a bit better just knowing something is going to happen.
