Wonder Paintings
Golden Girl by Janet Strayer
Wish by Janet Strayer
Girl and Cat by Janet Strayer

Onward! by Janet Strayer
The paintings shown here are part of a magical series celebrating wonder and linking it with an eternally childlike perspective that is open, extravagant, colorful, sensual and richly embedded in naturalistic fantasy.
I was captivated by the images as they progressed. A gleeful sense of playfulness darted in and out as I attended to details and wondered what would come next.
These are the ones that have been sold, but I feel inspired to continue this series...  if only for the sparks of joy they cast while in process. And what of the final images: Do they !zing!?

Since the section above was written, I've continued with the WONDER series and will add images of paintings after they are finished.

    I love your Girl and Cat. The Klimt influence is strong. You must like him as much as I do and it's interesting to me how we each, in our own way, reflect his motifs in our own work.
