The paintings of the dogs really captured the essences of their personalities. I've received many compliments from friends and family. The snowy beach derived from a vague concept I had in my mind. For many years I was looking for a painting to match. Fortunately for me, Ms. Carmichael was able to interpret my mind's eye and provide me with the perfect painting for my family room mantle."</I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>...Diana Poland Stoutner, Burke Virginia</I></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><IMG SRC="0895ee20.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="226" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="652" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1341 WIDTH="646"><div> <I>"I purchased a painting from Janet entitled 'Pink Livingroom' 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 that I own. I must say, also, that I very much appreciate the careful wrapping and shipping of the painting as well as all her helpful advice on framing, etc. She is a delight to deal with-an extremely talented artist and as well as a lovely person."</I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>Patricia Hollingsworth, Fresno, California</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>"Your 'Livingston's, I Presume' mural was the hit of the sales conference.

Her website is extremely easy to navigate.Ms Carmichael took care of all the packaging and shipping details so that my painting arrived safely and in a timely manner.

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 greens and blues."</I></div> <div> <I>"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 are sunny and bursting with colour."</I></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="08a4f190.jpg" border=0 width="335" height="281" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="758" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 85 WIDTH="752"><div> Susan Doolan, Barrie Examiner</div> <div> <I>"Janet Carmichael's paintings are very striking...and the results of her studies in Europe can be seen in her work and sales."</I></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0b0471a0.jpg" border=0 width="327" height="282" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
