Janice Kennedy
Janice Yvonne Kennedy was born fourth of six children the year 1941 in Harbins Community, Georgia, thirty-five miles northeast of Norcross Georgia. Until the age of fifteen, she worked in the fields as a sharecropper. Janice never went past the ninth grade. Her Dad made her stay home to work in the fields. By the age of ten, Janice could pick one hundred pounds of cotton a day. She now lives in Tampa, Florida with her second husband. Janice Yvonne is a self-taught artist and born-again Christian. When she starts a painting, she asks, “Lord, what would you have me paint today?”
Janice Yvonne loves to make a nothing into something that hopefully someone would find a smile through. She's made quilts, painted furniture, floral arrangements, and loofah sponge dolls. What she loves most is painting with acrylics on Bristol board. She paints on her kitchen table when sunlight permits. She has been known to turn her paintings upside down to get the best effect. Janice is physically challenged. Her artwork allows a creative outlet for her life experiences. #422 “Mountains Majesty” Medium: acrylic on board with painted frame Size: 26 x 34 Price: $975 #436 “Mountain Road” Medium: acrylic on board with painted frame Size: 18.75 x 22.75 Price: $975  Miss Daisy #467 Medium: acrylic on board Size: 16 x 21 Price: $850 #483 “Mae the Bed Pan Carrier” Medium: acrylic on board with painted frame Size: 17.5 x 25.75 Price: $825  #359 “Stretching Time” Medium: acrylic on board with painted frame Size: 18.75 x 22.75 Price: $825  #474 “A Beautiful City Rooster” Medium: acrylic on board with painted frame Size: 15 x 17 Price: $625  Mother of Seven #437 Medium: oil on canvas Size: Price: $950 Aunt Eula Franklin and Me #464 Medium: oil on canvas Size: 19 x 25 Price: $850 The Luther Edwards Homeplace Medium: oil on canvas Size: 11 x 16.75 Price: $925 Imagene Lived Here Medium: oil on canvas Size: 12 x 17 Price: $775 John 3:16 Medium: oil on canvas Size: 15 x 19 Price: $725 Five Cats Basking Medium: oil on canvas Size: 14 x 18 Price: $900 Simple Little House for a Simple Little Man Medium: oil on canvas Size: 12 x 14 Price: $650
