Welcome to Jana Parkes' Online Art Gallery



    Blessings and thank you for visiting my online gallery of art! My desire is for the paintings to be inspirational, and I believe that they have gifts to give.  You'll see that most paintings have descriptions and stories accompanying them.  So, whether you're buying or just viewing, I hope that you enjoy them and receive something from them!  I certainly feel blessed by them, both in creating them and while they are here, before they to go to a new home.
    Once, on Antiques Roadshow, the host said that a woman that he talked to in line said that she'd had the painting that she had with her for 20 years, and that she hadn't "finished looking at it yet".  I hope for that to be the case with my paintings!

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

    I feel that art, in general, feeds and nurtures our souls.  To me, the paintings (that I co-create with spirit) portray and carry living energies - that they are portals through which a loving Universe radiates light and joy; healing our connection with All That Is.

    Painting is something that I am passionate about doing.  I feel a deep inner desire to express what is within me, or what I feel needs to come through me.  And, when I paint, I ask for the highest good to come through.

    Most of my paintings are what I call “energy expressions”.   They feel like I am depicting various types of “energy” - what is there, but not visible to our human eyes.  As the scientists tell us, nothing is really solid, it is all varying vibrations of energy.

    I really like how Madelaine L'Engle put it when she said, in "A Wrinkle of Time", "What is visible is temporary, what is invisible is eternal."

September 18th, 2009
- Both watercolor paper and canvas Giclee Prints are now available of "Light" and "Cosmic Joy".   These prints turned out very well!  During the studio tour  many people said that they could hardly tell the difference between the original and the print.

The original "Light" painting on the wall, and a canvas-wrapped Giclee print on the easel on the piano bench.

New Paintings:  Three new paintings have been added:


"Light"  (18" x 24")
 

"Spiraling", 16" x 20"


and "Cosmic Birth"
, 11" x 14"

- Also new:  Downloading photos of the paintings:  I am allowing people to download the images of the paintings for their personal use (the images of the paintings are copyrighted, it is illegal to download them for any sales or distribution purposes).  So, please enjoy them if you would like to! Most of the photos will print nicely up to about a 5" x 7" size (anything bigger gets fuzzy and grainy).
    
More about the Paintings and My Painting Style 
While I paint both realistically,

"Chimney Rock and Setting Sun"

and abstractly, my most recent paintings are cosmic looking with stars, nebula, galaxies and energy lines.   

 "Angelic Realm" 
    
    Sometimes, I find space photographs inspiring for parts of my paintings, but most of the paintings are created without reference to anything  specific.  Also, with my more recent paintings, I use a spatter technique.

       

"Arms and Heart Wide Open"

 

  So, peruse and enjoy, and thanks again for visiting.  Blessings to all!!

"The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection."  -Michelangelo

"We are all one, part of the whole, with our own individual free-will perspectives, points of loving consciousness."
