‘The Poison Apple’ Are there similarities between the women Janet portrays in her paintings and her own personality or traits? “I certainly don’t get to dress up like they do every day! I think I try to depict curious women doing odd things, so in that way we are similar. According to my husband I do a lot of odd things.”
