Description
We had started to drive south from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, heading for Waterton National Park. To begin, we were driving in and out of sudden downpours and gust of wind, but by the time we were close to the town of Claresholm the sky cleared and we saw the late afternoon light doing a wonderful job on the pile of thunderheads far off on the flat horizon. Vestiges of the stormy weather were still hanging around overhead.
A beautiful full color book with 70 of my favorite paintings and 45 photographs is now available at this address:

. A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.
In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.
With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.
My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
I would like to build up an email list so I can let you know when I have posted new work. If you would like to participate, my email is jann.ash@hotmail.com
I would love to hear from you!

Very many thanks Randy, I so appreciate your kind words. I've been taking a bit of a break during the fine weather but I'll be getting back in stride as soon as the rains come!
