This is such a wonderful piece by a Northern Michigan artist, Jane Batteiger. I was lucky enough to attend an Estate sale of one of her patrons and found two pieces to bring to Warmth and Cheer!

This piece is signed on the front Batteiger and has Gouache - Jane Batteiger in ink on the back as well. It is a wonderfully composed painting of a rural setting in Northern Michigan.
The utilitarian gray barn is surrounded by a bright blue winter sky and trees and hills.

It is currently housed in a white wood frame from Target and deserves a custom framing! The piece itself is taped onto a white double mat and has been protected under glass so is in very nice condition. The frame has a few nicks and divots in the wood and there is a foam core board holding the piece securely in place. There is a hanging wire.

Jane Batteiger is a year round resident of Leelanau County. She has spent many years involved in art education and landscape painting. The opportunity to live and paint in Leelanau County has developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and change of seasons that the area provides. Jane feels privileged to live in an area where man’s footprint has blended naturally into the mosaic of lakes, beaches, dunes, and forests. As an artist, the continuing shift of this incredible landscape provides constant inspiration. Jane is involved in the Glen Arbor Art Association having served on the Board of Directors and is a past president of GAAA. She exhibits her work locally and participates in area shows.

I am not certain if Jane is still painting commercially.
