Janet Swahn Birds on a Wire Family Tree.

“Family in Motion” — Custom 40×30 Originals by Janet Swahn

These two striking 40×30 contemporary paintings by Janet Swahn celebrate the beautiful, blended story of Joe & Julie’s family—told through Swahn’s signature abstract figures, textured layers, and joyful brushwork.

Canvas One: The Parents & Their Children

The first canvas captures the foundation of their family tree.

• Joe’s four daughters and Julie’s two children—one boy and one girl—
  are represented through expressive, gestural forms that appear to perch together, connected yet distinct. Each figure is shaped with Janet’s recognizable mosaic of turquoise, coral, and deep blue, symbolizing individuality woven into unity. The painting reads like a gathering—full of personality, movement, and warmth.

Canvas Two: Ten Grandchildren… with Room to Grow

The second canvas honors the next generation: their ten grandchildren, arranged intentionally with subtle spacing left for the future. Janet Swahn designed this piece with “growth” built into the composition—leaving open perches where additional grandchildren can be added in future years, keeping the artwork truly alive and evolving with the family.

A Contemporary Family Tree

Together, these two originals form a modern, heartfelt family tree. Rather than literal portraits, Janet Swahn brings each family branch to life through abstraction—capturing energy, connection, heritage, and the joy of a family that continues to expand.

These custom works are not just paintings;
they are legacy pieces—a visual celebration of Joe & Julie’s blended family, created in Janet Swahn’s unmistakable style and built to grow along with the people they love most.
