Janet Hill Studio

I am absolutely smitten with the oil paintings of artist Janet Hill.  Her subjects are all dressed so smart and positively ooze vintage glamour.  I love their saturated color palettes—can’t you envision one of her canvases hung above the mantle in your living room?  I could, if we had the luxury of having a mantle that is…  Anyhow, be sure to visit Janet’s website and shop, she paints fantastic interiors too!  I think the girl with the ship in the background is my favorite—it’s so Coco Avant Chanel.  Do you have a favorite?  Do tell!

  2. Fallon — Aren’t they so great?! I stumbled across them by chance scanning through the Etsy oil paintings archives. Such a find. Her website/blog is amazing! XO

  3. Cassie says:

    Love these! I seem to have been especially struck by the woman near the farm. I think I should have been raised a cowgirl/farm lady. ;)

    Beautiful.

    That woman with the geese is so elegant!
    If I had a farm with geese, I would definitely wear long red skirts and jeweled necklaces to tend them.

  16. Brandi says:

    These are amazing. Would it be vain of me if I said I’d love to have a glamorous painting like this of myself? They’re just so lovely.

  17. Thanks Kate! These are gorgeous. I love the one with the lady in a pink dress, I was too lazy to figure out what it’s called. :) And ditto on the mantle. xo

  18. StylishBird says:

  22. Anna — So jealous! You would… XO

    I like the farm girl the best (I am a farmer’s daughter after all). Why is she dressed to the nines, hanging out with the geese? She could tell a story or two, I’m sure.

    Exquisite paintings. I’ve actually just posted something similar on my blog. Great minds….

  24. I bought my mom an original two years ago for Christmas. I am DYING to get one for myself. I absolutely love her art.
