I paint in soft pastel, a wonderful medium for conveying light, color, shape, and their interplay to create mood. I use sanded surfaces, both paper and board. My subjects vary across landscape, still life, and the occasional pet. I use photographs as a reference or point-of-departure for my paintings; and try to capture the essence of the subject, without attempting to capture all the detail. The result is realistic, but often with a touch of impressionism. For more details and price information, contact me at helenmwood@gmail.com or visit my website at helenmwood.com.

This album consists of five sub-albums. All contain recent watercolors. I have been painting for the past 20 years. Watercolor is a great way to reflect back the light, glimmer, and sparkle that we see in God's created world. I am only beginning to learn the rudiments of this elusive medium. Effectively painting with water and pigment is a lifelong pursuit that brings joy to the artist as well as the viewer. View other works and information at https://creationartbycarol.com/
