Insights From A Luzerne County Fair Artist,
by Michael and Diane Czajkowski

Published in The Back Mountain Community News November 2005

 

Pennsylvania Equine and Canine Artist Diane Grant Czajkowski is known throughout Pennsylvania for her fine art equestrian portraits.

Diane has been attending horse shows in the Dallas area since she was a child. She spent many days at what was then called "The Lehman Horse Show Grounds" a very popular show site for the showing of horses from PA and surrounding states. One of Diane’s horse portraits was on the cover of the thirty third annual Lehman Horse Show program cover.

Diane continues to draw and paint horses, perfecting what she has been doing since childhood. Now with skill and grace she presents her beautiful drawings and paintings for shows in our Northeast area, as well as Southeast PA, as she attends horse and dog shows as an artist.

This year upon entering our local 43rd Luzerne County Fair, Diane won several ribbons in art and photography.

To name just a few of her first place blue ribbons winners: First place in "Animal Portrait" in oil painting, first place in "Portrait and Figure" oil painting, also first place in Pastels for her stunning portrait of an Italian Greyhound dog. Czajkowski won several other ribbons at the fair, when asked which she enjoyed the most she commented:

"I just love painting horses and dogs. I am thrilled that I won so many ribbons for my art and photography. I think what I am most pleased with are the blue ribbons for the horses and the dog. I have a passion for doing animals. As I paint commissions for people of their animals, I feel I get to know something about that animal, and they become a part of me."

"I am most thrilled with my first place ribbons for my horse and dog portraits because I put so much into them. I am happy that others can enjoy them and that is why I love participating in our County Fair.

"I just love horses and dogs, I think they are a special gift. They are a pleasure to be around." - Diane Grant Czajkowski

 
 
 
 
 
Local Artist Exhibits In International Show
Published in The Back Mountain Community News December 2005
 

Equine, Canine and wildlife artist Diane Grant Czajkowski is exhibiting paintings "Foal Fun" and "Fawn Fair" and three other paintings as a part of the 2005 International Exhibit of Miniature Art.

The show is now on display at "The Waterlily", 103 East Overbrook Avenue, Shavertown, PA, November 13 through December 31. You can stop in and view the show: you will find the "Foal Fun" and "Fawn Fair" paintings in the gallery by making two right turns once you are inside the gallery.

In the true spirit of miniature art, each or the paintings in the show is 3 x 5 inches or smaller. This is a standard size that is used by most of the national miniature art groups.

Come and see all the marvelous paintings this international show attracts to our community. You may contact Diane by visiting www.DianesHorses.com.

"Each year the CPA, Cider Painters of America, annual show attracts paintings from artists around the world as well as many of our fabulous local artists. You can reach Czajkowski at DianesHorses.com

"Portrait of An Artist"

Published in The Times Leader January 2006

 

... "When I was in seventh grade, I used to draw horse heads and all the kids would ask if I could do one for them," Czajkowski said.

... When she paints an animal, she tries to capture its personality. She will work from photographs but prefers to meet an animal in person before she draws it. An interest in anatomy - she has a collection of anatomy books - has served her well in her art...

...She has been doing animal portraits since the 1970s but is still flattered when people acknowledge the likeness between their pets and her paintings.

 

"A horse is a horse unless of course it's a Czajkowski original." - Times Leader - January 13, 2006
