Sweet Art (by artist Janet Hill)


I've never been to Italy, but if, I mean when I visit, I'd like to go here...


Ok, so maybe there is no such place, but in the world of artist Janet Hill there is!

Of course, if I lived in Janet Hill's world, my house might look like this...


...and then I may never want to leave!

I would spend my days in my perfectly quaint kitchen...


 ...arranging flowers and baking cakes!


Ok, back to reality for a moment... but just a moment! 

I came across the works of Canadian artist Janet Hill a couple years ago and have been following her work ever since.  Her paintings are like food for the soul!  Light, colorful, and often filled with sweets... oh how I often wish to be transported into one of her beautiful paintings!  There is something about her paintings of kitchens, cafes, and sweets that remind me of every good feeling I have on a perfect day of baking.  Those days when I get to create something beautiful merely because I enjoy it! 




If these gorgeous paintings aren't enough to make you fall in love with Janet's work... do you like shoes?  How about pretty dresses?  Oh yes, this talented woman paints all of the things dreams are made of... beautiful interiors,  gorgeous sweets... and shoes!! 

Follow Janet Hill's work on her blog, HERE
And you can get your hands on her beautiful paintings and prints in her Etsy store, HERE

P.S.  Feel free to add me to your Christmas list, you already know what I want... one of Janet's prints!
