...........Welcome to my online portfolio! This is a partial collection of my artwork. I have been known to venture into other media, but my passion is watercolor. Ideal for capturing the equisite play of sunlight & shadow, as well as the soft innocence of children, watercolor dazzles me. I love the challenge of capturing whites without white paint, water splashes on dry paper and the ever elusive "glow" that can be achieved when I am brave enough to be "dark enough with my darks". I paint for pleasure, for gifting my family & on commission. Feel free to contact me! ............. janagittings@hotmail.com

ART CAMP at my house
.......Art Camp 2008 mural on the side of our house!
What fun! I used to paint our sliding glass door (during my daycare years) and everyone thought I was nuts. It brought so much color into the house! The kids loved it - I generally planned it around a theme and let them help. For instance, during "ocean" month we'd paint it blue with fish and fun stuff.
