The Spectator. 1 January 2005
Andrew Lambirth
Janet Boulton, perhaps best known as a watercolour painter of gardens and still-life. has been making reliefs from paper pulp for nearly 20 years. the images are moulded, then sized and painted when dry. Boulton has produced some impressive extended pieces. long shelves of bottles and pots tinged with pink and green and blue, witty homage to the horizontal. These together with a sequence inspired by Ian Hamilton Finlay's garden 'Little Sparta', depicting a single swift or a paper boat are for me the most telling. In too many of the others the interest of technique is overshadowed by an application of colour which seems almost haphazard. Boulton's strength has always been as tonal painter, not as a colourist, and I would like to see her explore those skills further in her paper reliefs.
