Jamaica is a temperate climate ripe with tropical flora and fauna. Jannette’s mountain home has many gardens and hundreds of species of plants. She only needs to walk outside to find inspiration for her watercolors.

The beautiful water gardens at historic sites throughout Jamaica and even in Jannette’s own backyard provide a peaceful setting for some true beauties. Water lilies provide shelter for frogs, tadpoles, turtles and fish, and are stunning subject matter.

Landscapes are defined by the largest plants, trees. These grandfathers and grandmothers of  nature provide shade for the plants beneath and refuge from the sun. Their sturdy trunks and powerful roots hold the land together.
