Artist Comments
“This scene was captured on an early morning walk through the Texas Hill Country,” shares artist Jan Fontecchio Perley. “The rising sun silhouetted this beautiful horse drinking from a natural pond, water drips and all. Glorious!”
About the Artist
Jan’s lifelong passion for animals and art have collided in the images she paints. Her Western subject matter is executed with an impressionistic realism, generally using a limited color palette. Jan captures the essence of her subjects in the details, whether it be the playful visage of a cow or the delicate feathers of a colorful bird. Her paintings embody a genuinely jovial exuberance. Often working on two pieces simultaneously, Jan paints from a small studio in her home in Idaho, where she also enjoys spending time with her teenage children.
