Stampede Excitement
Stampede Excitement
Stampede Excitement started with a previous experimental painting I did from my own photograph titled 'Winning Combination'. I was so intrigued with the process of watercolour paint striking the thin handmade straw fiber paper that the excitement seemed to jump off my brush while recreating it.

Forest Glow
Forest Glow
My inspiration for Forest Glow Came from thoughts of the numerous fires that plague Western Canada and USA during the summer seasons. Some years are worse than others, but with people and lightening, there is always a chance of more. It’s my inner senses that brought my thoughts to light on paper through water media.

Over the years, she has been tutored by several renowned Art Instructors from Canada and the U.S.A., and is also an Art Instructor when time permits. Her work has been displayed at many juried venues including 6 consecutive years at the Edmonton Canadian Finals Pro Rodeo Gallery; Calgary Stampede, Red Deer Museum and numerous other Art Shows and Exhibits throughout Alberta.

In 1990, Jan and her husband Lou Paul moved 30 minutes East of Red Deer to the Haynes area where they built and started their Sage Brush Hills Ranch, which also features a 500 sq. ft. Art Studio. It is a perfect fit for creating art, and has plenty of natural light for viewing. It’s another aspect in the art life of Jan Howden-Paul.
