These landscape paintings have a strong Impressionistic characteristic to the way in which they are painted. The brushstrokes of color are mostly separate from one another and create a “vibration” between colors and to the overall painting. This technique called “Impressionism” was started almost 100 years ago and is alive and well today.
SYCAMORE TREES have a Prehistoric Significance in Jan’s painting of the Moorpark Mammoth. it is above under the logo. The others are snippets of these Sycamore Tree Paintings. In 2005 Jan was chosen by the City Council of Moorpark, CA to create a documented painting of their newly discovered Southern Mammoth fossils. She diligently searched for clues and learned that botanical fossils found in California showed that Sycamore trees had been on this land ever since Mammoths lived here. The painting now hangs in a Municipal building in the City of Moorpark.
