The artist and a recent commission
entitled: "Lavender Fields Forever" |
I love being outdoors. The trees, leaves, rocks, and blue skies feed my soul and help me stay calm. Walking parks near our home, or just around the neighborhood is so restorative. Being able to paint what I see just adds to the pleasure and power of nature’s influence. - Jane LaFazio -

"Flying"
original: sold image size: 14x10” Prints available |

To me, this image represents a 'reach for the stars' attitude. I love it, especially when grandparents purchase this image for their granddaughters. It says "you go, girl!" This image was created for an event entitled "Flying at 50 and Beyond: Celebrating Your Creativity" hosted by the Foundation for Women. |

On a walk along the beach in Ocean Beach [a community in San Diego] I picked up the tiny black, heart shaped shell that was the inspiration for the title of this mixed media painting. I worked with shades of pink, reminiscent of a sunset, and used shells, stones and leaves that could be found on a walk on the sand. |

The giraffes are from right here in San Diego, and reside at Wild Animal Park. I wanted them to feel a little like they were home in Africa, so I combined a color pattern inspired by African weavers, with a classic San Diego Palm tree.

I worked on this commissioned painting during the September 11th disaster.
