Original Paintings ~ Taking Flight
Just as the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, Jan Wright's colorful watercolor paintings spread their wings and take flight and find their way to new homes, bringing color, light, and inspiration to all who see them.
All paintings are archival matted and backed with acid free foam core. No glass or frames are included so that the new owner can select a frame to match their decor; this also saves you on insurance and shipping costs. The paintings are priced reasonably and include shipping. Please contact Jan to make arrangements for payment and shipping.
