Janet Hobbs
This set of paintings displays a range of city and country landscapes. The city paintings are of various areas in my childhood home of Worcester, MA.
The painting ‘Parking Space’ received a ‘most innovative painting’ award by juror John Salminen at The New England Watercolor’s Biennial Open Show 2010. I am honored to have received this award from an artist whose work I admire.
The paintings of the ocean and seashore are of the north shore of Boston. The country paintings are inspired by the beautiful Adirondacks in New York State.
I work in watercolor because I love the range of possibilities it possesses, from thin veils of color to rich deep hues. Mixing pigment and water in various quantities, the type of paper used, and the kind of day all play a part in the often surprising end results.
I teach watercolor classes at the Fitzgerald Community School adult evening program in Cambridge and at the North Cambridge Senior Center. Please contact me for more information about classes.
Janet is 2010-2011 chair of NoCA.
