The paintings of my dogs are like portraits and really captured the essences of their personalities. I've received many compliments from friends and family. The snowy beach scene was a vague concept I had in my mind and I had been looking, for many years, for the painting to match. Fortunately for me, Ms. Carmichael was able to interpret my minds’ eye and provide me with the perfect scene for my family room mantle." ...Diane Poland, Burke,Virginia "I purchased a painting from Janet entitled "Pink Living Room", and I absolutely love it. The colors are beautiful and the general feel of the painting is inviting and warm. It is, without a doubt, my favorite piece of art I own. I must say, also, that I very much appreciated the careful wrapping and shipping of the painting, as well as all her helpful advice as to framing, etc. She is a delight to deal with -- an extremely talented artist as well as a lovely person." ...Patti Hollingsworth, Fresno, California "Your 'Livingston's, I Presume' mural was the hit of the sales conference; everyone loved it!" ...Martin Fabi, President, Livingston Distribution "I am excited to have a Janet Carmichael in my home! The colors are so brilliant and real! I am very impressed with Janet's input on matting and framing. She cares very much that her paintings will be loved and cared for in their new home!" ...Becki Rohrbach, Raleigh, North Carolina "Ms. Carmichael made purchasing my first piece of art a wonderful experience! Her website is extremely easy to navigate. Ms. Carmichael took care of all the packing and shipping details so that my painting arrived safely and in a timely manner. She also provided helpful suggestions regarding matting and framing. Her painting is even more beautiful "in person" and I look forward to working with her again." ...Lori MacDonald, Prior Lake, Minnesota Professional Reviews of Originals Joan Stebbins, Southern Alberta Art Gallery "I have viewed your slides and am impressed with your production. I have seen some of your paintings in Montreal. The next time I am in Halifax, I would like to see your current work and please keep me updated on any new developments." Kristine-Kamp-Adante, Antique Trails, California "Your paintings are beautiful...I've put them on the featured Gallery." Valerie Pigott, Kensington Fine Art Gallery, Calgary "Janet's style is colourful, expressive and loose...I love them even more than when they arrived." Elissa Barnard, Halifax Mail-Star/Herald "Janet Carmichael charges her lush and beautiful paintings with ambiguity and a dark mystery in equestrian imagery. She takes on the art history of horse as icon in hot, thick, vigorous paintings strong in reds and oranges with dramatic colour contrasts to cooler blues and greens." "Carmichael has a breathless pace to her brushstroke and the way she blocks out an image. In one, she lines up a silver teapot and oranges, with the oranges outlined in beautiful, smudged, deep blues and then blocked in with colour. These still-lives and house paintings are sunny, and bursting with colour." Susan Doolan, Barrie Examiner, Barrie, Ontario "Janet Carmichael's paintings are striking....and the results of her studies in Europe can be seen in her work and her sales..."
