Janet Tarjan Erl’s – Wolf Collection

This video shows a collection of wolf paintings done by artist Janet Tarjan Erl. These paintings depict the beauty and magnificence of wolves in their wild habitats. Most of the artworks were created as either watercolor or oil paintings. A few of the artworks had some digital painting elements added to watercolor artworks. Janet created this wolf collection over many years, and they were inspired by the tens of thousands of miles she hiked, skied, and explored.

Janet is an award winning artist noted for combining wildlife in their beautiful native habitats.

We are posting on YouTube!!

2022 Christmas card creation posted on our YouTube channel/

We started a YouTube Channel and have posted our first video. We have been talking about doing this for years and are finally doing it. Our first video is the creation of Janet’s 2022 Christmas Card. Using a screen capture app of the process of combining elements, drawing, painting, and editing in Adobe Photoshop™. Working with “new to us” software apps, OBS Studio screen capture and Shotcut Video editing, and we have edited twenty hours of work down to about sixteen minutes and added a music sound track. The sound track music is from Fesliyan Studios, and it is festive with an upbeat pace fits the video nicely.

We have several other video projects in the works and the goal is to upload something weekly. Our skills for this are in the development stages and the goals are to share our art and creative processes. It will be fun to see who the processes and channel evolve. We are planning on sharing what we do to inspire the process and some content of other interests.

Evergreen Coho RV Resort Fish Mural.

Public building art by Janet Tarjan Erl.

Evergreen Coho RV Resort Fish Mural

Medium: Acrylic and MDO board Image Size: 7’h x8’w, 2022.

This fish mural was donated to the Evergreen Coho SKP RV Resort in Chimacum, WA. The SKP Park wanted a colorful coho fish mural to relate to their coho fish logo and to place it on their office building. The office is the first building one sees as they enter the park.

I submitted many designs for review by the landscape committee who wanted something to liven up the south side of the building. The designs were narrowed down to just three,and were submitted to the leaseholders for a vote. This colorful version won.

I drew the design onto MDO board and cut it out with a scroll saw. The fish and waves were then painted, sealed, and put up.

My husband Harry was a huge help. He cut out the fish, and mounted it on the building. Thanks Harry.
