Welcome to Jan Lowe's Fine Art Site
Tranquility - my painting of Cowes, Phillip Is Vic AU. I have painted this twice, one with less mood and this one - which captures the pending storm and the fresh chill of the air.
Daniel Smith Watercolour on Arches 1/4 page 360gsm. This painting now has received two international awards and I am thrilled to record that. Firstly from Camelback Gallery in Arizona selected as Finalist in their on-line Waterscapes II - international juried painting competition, and Light Space & Time Gallery in their on-line SeaScapes art Exhibition awarded a"Special recognition" Award. LST Gallery is in Palm Springs, California and offers fabulous opportunities and exposure in these on-line competitions. 
The beautiful Tuscan township. A Special Christmas with my man Xmas 2005-2006.
I have used this painting, I took the photograph during this visit. A very special place, and I called this painting "White Cat Lane", as the little felines were taking some air early Sunday morning. Acrylic on 60x80 paper. Sold. |
“learn to see beyond what you see and feel the emotion no matter what the subject, draw or photograph with that passion and in time, you will see” ......Edward Ernest Marchant (d'ed)
(As a young child I spend a lot of time with my dear late father. I was always drawing or photographing things including creatures and nature itself. I remember his words as I have written above ....sadly I have little to remember him by, but for his words, which are so true to this day.) Thank you for visiting my site, although, most of my artworks are of animals I have included places from my travels and some interesting sites that caught my imagination. Working with Scratchboard, Claybord and Watercolours and other mediums. The creatures, including people - its all about emotion and my passion of the subject. I hope you enjoy. Jan Lowe, AGRA 
Storm over Phillip Island. Oil 38 x 38 inches.
This event storm was very threatening, but just dumped the rain into the Pacific rather than land. This drama painting could be land, sea or sky - that was how it was - mighty and magic, I painted it to show emotion and passion for the viewer. This painting is the background on this front sheet of my website. This painting won a commended award from AGRA. |

Glass Balloons - my subject.
Victorians are so lucky to have the National Gallery - it stages some incredible exhibitions and is one of my inspirational places.
On a cold mid winters day, this young family caught my attention just outside the Federation Square Galleries. The colors and of the balloons - they reflected the light like glass - I think my piece will be titled "Glass Balloons"! It added cheer and glamour to the grayness of the day! This Project, as a black & white looked great, but I needed colour!! It is a challenge - but exciting - capturing the colors and spirit is so important, my next steps will pull it all together. Goes to show that simple things in life are great subjects!
Still a lot of work before this project is complete! If you wish to see my development of a new work depicting this - go to New Work 2019. During the demonstration - the process will be discussed.
