Janis Krendick
Congratulations to Janis Krendick, who called today to redeem the gift certificate she won recently at the Outdoor Painters Society annual paint out known as Plein Air Southwest Salon. She does primarily pastel, but also works in oils, using vibrant color and intriguing compositions.
"I love being outdoors, absorbing nature. It inspires me. My quest is to capture on paper or canvas the essence of what I am experiencing. So, why do I do it? I do not know of any other way to express myself that gives me so much joy.
"My interest in art goes back to childhood, and I have worked in a number of media over the years. I have taken several workshops from various artists including Bill Gallen, Ann Templeton, Doug Dawson, Ned Mueller, Lorenzo Chavez, Bob Rohm, Bill Hosner and Richard McKinley.
"The landscape is my focus, and my personal challenge is to interpret it in a sensitive manner. An ongoing endeavor!"

Have you ever felt the urge to ditch the studio and unleash your creativity in the fresh air? Plein air painting, ("in the open air"), might be the ticket.
