Jane Douglas

Jane has always painted in various styles, but on discovering Resene's large range of strong bright colours she now focuses on a style of simple clarity. Her work involves painting pictures on canvas. These designs are then also printed on gift cards including a range of Christmas cards.

Jane also paints on tiles, which can be used outdoors. She gets her inspiration from the old Kiwi feeling of a simple life. Jane likes to paint images of a forgotten era, a feeling of hot summers while enjoying our beautiful beaches and landscape. She leaves part of the tiles natural to portray the contrast of a natural rustic look with colour. The overall effect of the pictures is a calming effect as well as an uplifting effect.

Jane says she "loves Resenes clear bright range and I'm really enjoying painting my tiles because it's a change for me to have duller colours included in my art. I'm finding the greys and browns are enhanced by the crispness of Resenes colour range".
