"Capturing beauty as I see it"

Painter specializing in the authentic representation of
nature applying stylized realism with graphic, bold color. 

AUTHENTIC SCENES OF NATURE

☆ Artist: Janet Latshaw Simons
​Signed as LATSHAW


If you would like to see a favorite memory recreated
​as an acrylic painting, email Janet for details!

Email: janet.simons44@gmail.com
MAIN OBJECTIVE: To produce authentic art stemming from my artistic passion, which I discovered I had at 21 years of age after returning from 2 1/2 years of travel around the world.
*ALL ART IS PRODUCED FREE-HAND, using HAND-EYE COORDINATION, WITH NO PROJECTION OR TRACING. MY CHALLENGE IS TO SHOWCASE MY INNATE DRAWING ABILITIES AND TO CONNECT SOULS WITH THE SOUL OF NATURE. Digital hand paintings were produced from 2015-2016, when I got art back after losing it for ten years. Acrylic canvases were produced from January of 2017 to now, and are currently in production.

 "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was." - Richard L. Evans

"No one can go back and make a brand new start, my friend, but anyone can start from here and make a brand new end."
​ - Dan Zandra

"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." - Agnes Repplier
"Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson


What is, is more extraordinary than what could be. The beauty in nature lies in its authenticity. It is always ever changing, but consistent, perfect and cohesive.

 This painting is from SERIES #25: Commissions
​"Amy's World"

Dimensions: 24" x 36" x 1.5"
This new series is showcasing any commissioned pieces of art. When I first moved to Illinois 9+ years ago I felt like a stranger in a strange land. But when I met my BFF, Amy, I felt like I belonged. She has commissioned me to paint her lake. She is so fortunate to live on a beautiful lake, expriencing nature, with sunsets and visiting wildlife, on a daily basis. Some of the best years of my life were when I Iived in my house on Skinner Lake with my then husband and first daughter. This is Amy's World, and it's glorious.​
*Digital paintings are available as prints in varying sizes, with superior quality printing that makes the color vivid and bright.
*Fine Art acrylic paintings on canvases are available for a one-of-a-kind purchase, not as prints.
