Jan Woodhouse Art

Welcome to my website.

Having explored various subjects and techniques since I started painting about 20 years ago, I now find myself increasingly turning to FLOWERS and GARDENS for inspiration, with watercolour my preferred medium. 

Watercolour has a tendency to find its own way, just as plants and flowers do.

My first home was my grandparents' cottage, tied to the Woodhouse estate in Tettenhall, UK, from which I've adopted my name.  My grandfather was head gardener, and some of my earliest memories are of 'helping' him with his work.

Nowadays, some of my favourite times (along with making art and walking Monty, my labrador) are  spent in my own untidy but much-loved garden, as well as visits to bigger and grander gardens open to visitors. I'm lucky that there are some wonderful gardens just a short drive from where I live in North Norfolk, UK.

Below are some recent flower and garden paintings. (And a photo of me with my grandfather.)
