Janie Olsen – Paintings

“All of my paintings have their own little messages…some are silly and some abstract so you can read your own ideas into it, which I want people to do. For me all of my work represents a quiet, gentle strength in unexpected places.

Arrows are used to represent love, power, strength, or a good sense of direction. This means that you’re just moving forward to whatever direction you’re heading off to, and not looking back at what you have left behind.

A single arrow pointed to the left means warding off evil, to the right – protection, and pointing down = peace. Double arrows, two crossed arrows represent friendship. Two parallel arrows facing the opposite directions, are a symbol of conflict.

I have a great love nature and peaceful places. One of my favorite Arrow quotes:  “An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great.”

The Charms, bells, symbols etc. are all symbols of protection, luck and a sense of direction.

The Halos…for me represent strength with a strong connection to nature & your own individual spiritual world. Inspiration comes from nature, animals, music, poetry, and stories.” Janie Olsen
