Wild, Wacky and Whimsical Designs by Janet Wald

Explore decorative art books and pattern packets which include my distinctive style of decorative painting - stylized fat cats, retro wooden purses including “Red Hat Society” Gladys, friendly pumpkins & witchies, snowmen & Santa’s, vivid roosters & sunny faces, colorful fruit & flowers, Oriental & French Country, bands & borders, Folk Art and more: designed to be painted on a variety of decorative and functional wooden surfaces.

All of us perceive the world individually and my art reflects the world as I see it: full of color and humor, rich in subjects and texture. Life, most of the time is serious. I love to take the mundane and by tweaking it just a bit create a fresh new look. In my world ladies are goddesses with green hair with flowers for earrings. Cats wear crowns because they are queens and pumpkins are girls with flowing vine hair and witchies are beautiful.

I also have a serious side and appreciate the beauty of flowers and fruit, landscapes and the art of the orient but all are painted with an emphasis on color.

I hope you enjoy my colorful world and come back often to see my new designs.
