Jane Stryker: Oil Paintings
I was born near the Chemical Valley in Lambton County, and now live in Huron County - Ontario's West Coast. Country living is what I prefer, so my paintings are inspired by anything rural -roadside chicory, skunk cabbage, chickens or milkweed. I enjoy using Earth colours, and follow their variations throughout the seasons.
I have taught myself to paint by trying to capture an interesting moment with my camera, but more importantly, by learning to look carefully and directly at Nature.
