Finistère, Brittany , acrylic canvas  18x24", 2004, Private Collection

Storm Off Faulkner Island 16x20"

Sawyer maintains a distinctive flatness in her simple block like presentation of ships and waterfront structures. . . . Sawyer's affection for the moment is clear in the way she avoids following any obvious historical tradition. The world is taking place all at once in her work, and spontaneity suggests both physical closeness to the water and the joy that comes from intense involvement with ones surroundings. . . . Here, as in Sawyer's other paintings, the childlike perspective acts as a metaphor for delight.            Jonathan Goodman, Art In America

 Marine views combining childlike draftsmanship and modernist painterly sophistication . . . The paintings have a buoyant . . . immediacy.
      Ken Johnson, New York Times

Janet Sawyer's exhibition of small marine paintings were on display at FURST Paris, France in 2004.
