Jan's favorite paintings depict the land around her, God's creation, and the beauty that provides joy to those who take time to look. Her faith resounds in her work, as her love of God's creation depicts a deep respect for the land. Whether entrenched in the greens of Missouri or the browns and grays of a Colorado drought, Jan finds beauty in the depths of color and a bounty of scenic locations. Her focus is seldom the horizon - preferring instead to intensify the emotional connection between herself and the land she loves. Lifting the wonder of her love skyward, Jan often finds her focus on the storm ridden skies that cover our land, her preference of rolling clouds and thunderheads are often a focus of her landscapes. Shifting through a bounty of wonderful views to paint, Jan often finds the best sights to be those everyday vistas that encourage us to marvel at the lush extravagance God provided in each landscape, the miracle of creation.

A raging Missouri River at flood stage, storms building, and a locomotive making it's way over the river, fill up the scene with excitement and the thrills of life while a serene fence of flowers and offer protection and solace in this painting of a favorite setting. The missing engineer is symbolic of a lack of choice in the portrait of the painter, sharing the ways and wiles of a lifetime of treasures and reality, while the obvious serenity entails a focus of the heart. 30" X 48" Painting by: Jan Verhoeff
